TRACK TEAM OF '39 First Row: Franklin, Barnes, Crowell, Berry, Cowan, Plemmons. Second Row: Coach Vlfhite, Galbraith, Killough, Hawkins, Hancock. Third Row: Booth, Key, Perkins, Buckner. The track team led by Coach White bids fair to crash the gates of success as other athletic teams of the school have done. With one of the most outstanding coaches in the state to train them, the boys should win new honors for Provi- dence High. Fifteen boys reported for practice about the middle of March, 19393 and from these boys Coach White built one of the best teams in Western Kentucky, sur- passed only by Henderson. This team set two new records in the annual confer- ence meet held at Henderson. A new record was set in the mile relay. The team was composed of Cowan, Franklin, Berry, and Crowell. A new pole vault record was set by Cowan. All of the boys from Providence placed in their event, which is a fine record for any team. Plemmons and Galbraith should make excellent showings in the shot put. Franklin and Barnes are expected to soar to new heights in the dashes. Cowan is expected to hold his supremacy in the pole vault and broad jump. Cowan will make a fine record in the 440 yard run and in the hurdles. Berry should come in among the winners in the mile run. Hancock is expected to thrill the track fans in the distance run. With this wealth of material., Providence should have another outstanding track team in 1940.
