Fancy Footwork With the arrival of sunny days, short shorts, tennis shoes, and suntans came track season once again. Here at last was an opportunity for guys who had not participated in the winter sports to display their talents in the track and field events. Practice began, and along with the old pros assembled out on the field came an assortment of new trackers, ready to try their luck at some running, jumping, and throwing. All hoped that with a little fancy footwork they could be track stars, but after a few days of practice these new boys soon learned what the old had already discovered - that it just wasn't that easy! Hurdle humdrum. Rodney Thompson tries to gain a small lead against his Bartlett-Yancey opponents. 24 Boys' Track Although the precious afternoons that these men sacrificed always resulted in aching muscles and tired bones, running countless times around the football field was not quite so bad when the boys spent most of the time goofing off. Pulling down the gym shorts of an unsuspecting victim has always been a tradition at Southern, and this year was no exception! Every few minutes someone felt his ears go red as his shorts went down, and a few of the less fortunate even had theirs removed! The coaches had trouble controlling the team, but keeping up with it was even harder. A few times they arrived on the field only 220 Blues. Greg Bynum gives his best but this time it just isn't good enough. to find that the whole track team was missing. After endless searching, these guys were found lalong with a few extrasi engaged in the latest waste-time activity - boxing matches. A three-minute round, and the winner was on his way to the top. This was a lot of fun, but unfortunately it did not help much at the next meet! In spite of all the clowning around, complaining, and numerous aches and pains, many boys placed in their events. However, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the season was over, and track could be forgotten until next year.
