The team won the Greene County Meet held at Roodhouse, also the annual Roodhouse-White Hall Dual Meet, and placed third in the Illinois Valley Track Meet. This year the first track meet was held at Roodhouse, the first in the his- tory of the school. The Greene County was held here, with the Railroaders tak- ing the honors. The R. H. S. and White Hall Dual Meet was also held at Rood- house, with the Railroaders winning this by a large margin. We are again looking forward to an- other successful season, since we have several letter men back again this year. The track is in good condition and a full schedule has been planned for next year's squad, with several meets to be held at the Railroader's track. ir 'A' if FOR HANDSOME MEN ONLY gpeqgeouog 9.I,l1OA img 'AW Twenty-I wo
