1940 gailoffs og gffg Cxfx 04,1 Eafzcvzfmant Under the excellent instruction this year of Mrs. Leo Haworth, the art department has made itself prominent in all phases of school life. The hall bulletin case has been kept supplied continuously with exhibits of work. The walls of the cafeteria have been beautified with friezes and posters, showing excellent design and taste, suitable to the different seasons and holidays. An exhibit for parents was greatly admired at the February meeting, when draw- ings, pastel work, water color paintings, and charcoal showed the various forms of art. The department assisted with designing scenery for the various plays given, and made the place cards and invitations for school banquets. Altogether the year has been most successful and SHS has pupils who show quite a bit of ability. , m'm'f ' Nav' f . ...... -. .

i940 gaiiofz'-5 O9 gffg 6310.05 550.172 For the first time in the history of the school an organized and exten- sive plan of attack upon track and field was formulated and carried out. Approximately 25 boys worked seriously for a coveted position on the team. The first inclination that the townspeople or the student body received as to the plan of action was when the team scheduled a dual meet, the first the school has ever had, with K. M. I. Although beaten the boys showed to good advantage. They held their second dual meet with Bra- denton H. S. and were easily the victors. At the South Florida Conference Meet, the team won the Track Championship trophy for the first time since Sarasota has been in the Conference. Not only did they win it by a handsome margin, but they established five new records, a sixth being disqualified through a technicality. Henry Drew established a record for the mile run, Harper Thompson raced to a new mark in the half mile. Harry Leatherman set a new mark for the discus throw, and the relay teams over the half mile and mile courses set new marks. The Sprint Medley team was disqualified after breaking the record in that event. The team was composed of Harper Thompson, captain, D. J. Michael, James Baccus, Harry Leatherman, Henry Drew, Glen Powell, John Moore, Hugh Tyler, Buster Austin, Fred Riegel, Maynard Rhoades, George Healey, Ralph Matherly, Kenneth Purtz, and Harry Higel. Gold medals for winning events in the Conference meet were won by D. J. Michael, Harper Thompson, James Baccus, Harry Leatherman and Henry Drew. No medals were given to the relay teams. The team was coached by Dick Price who ably directed the squad to its highest honors in the history of track at Sarasota High School. Sixty-Ono FYK
