ROW 2; Coach Ray Lee, Carl Rexroat, Ervin Spurgeon, Marvin Stacey, Gary Graves, Ronald Bell, Don Godfrey. Coach Lee's 1953 cross country team during scheduled meets came out with five wins and no losses. There were three dual and two triangular meets; the thinlies won all their meets from their opponents with perfect and near perfect scores. At the season's end they came out on top in the Southeastern Conference championship, winning easily from Paoli and Scottsburg, competing against a rugged field in the Sectional, the Lions dis- played their talent by placing second behind a strong Vincennes team. Running with the best teams in the State, the thinly clads finished the season by tieing for seventh with Kokomo at the State.

FRONT ROW: Charles Rexroat, Duke Johns, Jimmie Hilton, Carl Rexroat, Dale Miller. BACK ROW: Ralph Early, Dennis Todd, Frank Foster, Larry Tabor, Gene Short, Jerry Horner, and Mr, McDonald, Coach. Sifiball Coach McDonald's varsity Softball Team had a much better record this year than last year, winning five and losing four in the 1954 Softball campaign. This also has been the best Softball record since Coach McDonald has been with us; also when in defeat they went down by a very small number of runs. During the Tourney we opened up by playing Corydon, and defeating them in the first round. Our next game was with Brownstown who defeated us 7 to 6; we had nine hits to their three, but we just couldn't get to playing together. The underclassmen through a year's experience should show much improvement for themselves and for S.H.S. in next year's season.
