Bundled in a sweater that atforded some protection against the November cold, Ben was part of the varsity team that finished second in the l.C.B. meet. He was a top student, too. -Y 1 ' .5 A Q fn, .. ,r 'fe CHARLES GARCIA, a Junior, proved the team's best cross-country runner. Here, he appears really beat after finishing third in the I.C.B. race.

Next year he hopes to continue running with a college team. Above, he is pictured during indoor relays. THE VARSlTY'5 FIRST TEAM relaxes after the first race of the I.C.B. meet. They are: Robert Scott, James Brown, Winston Lewis, Walter Kristlibas, Ben Jimenez and Ed Gallagher. Most of the cross-country varsity was composed of underclassmen. Hence, the prospects for next year appear really good. Of this group, only Scott and Brown are Seniors. Cross-country proved the toughest Gross-Country Team of the three season sport. lt involved a long subway ride each day hills, and that best to Van Cortlandt Park, a practice iaunt through the rugged and another-even longer-trip home. Only really interested willing boys could weather such a schedule. Little wonder the Brothers thought the track team members among the boys in the school.
