Plainville's 1945 track team out did itself in the opinion of many followers. When the sea- son opened, the prospects for a good team were poor, and the loss of Ray Klemme to the Air Corps was another blow to the squad. The Blue Devils began to show their strength by taking third place in the K. of C. relays. By the time for the district meet the team had developed enough to tie for the championship. Several of the members of the team, who had qualified, departed for the state meet. They came through very well and iourneyed home as the state runners up. Bill Anthony was the Ohio state champion hurdler. He competed in more events than any other track team member, ran both high and low hurdles, broad iumped, and was anchor man on the relay team. Bill was a member of the AlluOhio track team. Curly Lindeman was our other State champion. He won the discus throw. Curly came back from Prep school late in the track season but with hard ' work and persistence he over- ll came his handicap of getting I started late. Curly also put the I shot and ran the half mile. He, too, was a member of the All- Ohio team. -x-$ X 78 Jerry Douglas, one of the few seniors of this team, graduated in 1945. He was the practical ioker of the team; despite this fact he worked hard and by the end of the season was one of the main point-makers of the team. Jerry did most of his work on pole vaulting and the half miie runy Paui Lehrer was a member of the mile relay team which holds the school record. He also ran the 220, 440, and broad iumped. Don Ferns has been running the distances for three years and says he isn't tired yet. He concentrates his work mostly on the 880, but occasionally may be seen running the 440. Don was anchor man on the mile relay team which holds the school record. Stan McCracken was power man of the team. He holds the school record for the eight 5 pound shot. Joe McGowan, a iunior, was a busy man last spring. He played baseball and tennis. In track he concentrated on the high iump only. He placed in nearly every meet. In the dis- trict meet he placed First. Ben Fife worked on both the high iump and pole vault. In the triangular meet at Withrow Ben won first place. wn
