GOLF AND TENNIS EXPECT GOOD SEASONS With six returning lettermen, Mr. Poston, the tennis coach expects to come up with a good season. Beginning practice on March 15, their first match won’t be until early April. This year’s team will be helped greatly by Ron Keith, who was rated seventh in the Midwest last year. Jim Dahl, last year’s captain. is also among the returning lettermen. Yes, a good season is in prospect. Dupont Golf, unlike other sports, is not a team, but rathei an individual sport. There are only two returning lettermen: Dupont and Elliot. However, as the season advances there is hope for new players, new talent. Surely, as the season advances spring fever will bring more students. Elliot 22

Severely handicapped by lack of experience, this young team finished 7th in district 17 competition. The year was not without its bright spots however. Gary Leegard set a school record in the four hundred yard free style. The free style relay team blasted the school record by 4.8 seconds. The four seniors on the team. Gar)' Leegard, Harold Berglund, Dale Dykes, and Don Howes, all had an outstanding year. Between the four of them, they accounted for over one half the team’s points. These boys will be missed greatly next year. A flying start. 21 Ua a

TRACK TEAM EXPECTS GOOD YEAR Early this spring the track team hoped for a successful season. After finishing second in the city last year, the boys dreamed of capturing first place. Before the snow was even ofT the ground, team members practiced regularly at the University field house. Underclassmen who survived the hard workouts used well their experience and ability in performances with the regular team. The goals of the season were many. The 880 relay team, who challenged the state record, was made up of Roger Swanson, Roscoe Bagan, Jerome Newsom, and Richard Westerdahl. Jerome Newsom lead the field events as expected. Last year he threw the discus 142 feet; his goal this year was 150 feet. Gary Sande’s goal for the shot put was the 50 foot mark. Roger Swanson ran the 440 yard and challenged the old school record of 51.6 seconds. Chuck Balck hurdled to victory. Mr. McMoore, the head track coach, said he wanted and expected many of South’s old records to be broken. Mr. Webert and the field events men developed our winning form. THREE SOUTH LETTERMEN 23
