Our 1956 Pirate Track Squad was a small but deter- mined group of men who, because of a lack m reserve strength,did not always score high in their meets but the too few men who did participate for P.C. always showed will. A new coach at Porterville College this year was a man who wrote a page or two of his own in the track and field an- nals of the world, Coach Sim Iness formerly of U.S.C. An early season standout for the Pirates was Ken Shannon in discus. In fact, all of our cinder men were standouts. ■• ' ' - :-: Jerry Carter Hurdler Bruce Fife Low Hurdler Bob Donaldson 880 man
