TRACK WINS EXACTED With the coming of spring, indoor and outdoor track equip- ment was again taken from storage for use by Mr. Calisch's varsity team. Prospect's trackmen participated in three cate- gories ot events: the sprint, the distance run, and the field event which included high jumping, pole vaulting, broad iump- ing, discus throwing, and shot putting. Mr. Calisch and Assist- ant Coach Mr. Gattas encouraged sprinters to greater speeds in the running ot the 50-yard dash, the high and low hurdles and the relay races. Distance runners concentrated on endur- ance on the mile and halt-mile courses. Team star Gary York surpassed his own record tor the mile run, scoring additional points for Prospect. Practicing with the varsity runners, the frosh-soph track team concentrated on increasing speed, building endurance, and utilizing every last ounce of energy. These young track men participated in all events: high iump, broad iump, pole vault, discus, shot put, hurdles, and relays. Besides the regular con- ference meets, the track team participated in the North Shore Invitational Tournament on March 20. Every day after school the sprinters went through a rigorous practice session to boost their skill and technique in preparation for competition at con- ference relay meets. Head Coach Mr. Calisch encouraged and inspired his trosh-soph team to continue Prospect's winning tradition. A long stride and a high sprint were required by this event. VARSITY AND FROSH-SOPH TRACK.

For a long time it looked as if the snow would never leave Prospect, but when it did, one of the first signs of spring was the appearance of the varsity baseball squad. Under the direction of Coach Aldrich, the Knights set out to accomplish their goals for the i965 season. These goals, aside from play- ing a game in good weather, were to win the conference championship title and to be successful in the state tournament playoffs. While the snow was still on the ground, the boys worked indoors on conditioning and fundamental skills. Led by veteran stars Greg Kowal and Rick Lytle, the team then moved outdoors to perfect the skills of batting, running, slid- ing, pitching, and fielding, necessary for success as a team. Many juniors on the squad will return next year for what should be another time season.
