N ' l -'Z l I i 5 .1 1 WT Starting the season with an inexperienced team, the cindermen fared poorly in the dual meets. They displayed much improvement, however, by placing sixth on Field Day. In the senior division Dave Nicholson won the shot put, and Don Jones and Ed Kuster placed fourth in low hurdles and pole vault respectively. The juniors did most of the scoring with twenty- one points. Jerry Gleason took first in the shot put while George Galakatos placed second in the broad jump and third in low hurdles. Also Larry Buffington took second in pole vault. The team captains, Don Jones and Norman Koons, say that the outlook for the 1957 team is good. since over half of the lettermen will be re- turning. Letters were awarded to nine seniors and seven juniors on the 1956 team. The track team, one of the oldest athletic organ- izations in the school, has been in existence ever since the school opened. Although never winning a championship, they have always been recognized for their good sportsmanship. Twenty-nine

Out of the season's won and lost column the steers of Southwest had a better non-league record than a league record, winning two out of the three non-league games and only winning three out of ten league games. Five of the teams thirteen ac- tive players had a .300 or better batting average. They were Carlo Lamarca .300, Terry Baum .305, Marvin Kraft also 305, Bill Cephart .312 and, holding the top spot, Dave Nicholson with a very respectable 352. The hurlers for Southwest were Joe Brock, Dave Nicholson, and Bud Doss. .loe and Dave both won two and lost fourg Bud Doss completed the season with one win and no losses. With the returning members of the team, weire hoping for a championship season. After all one can always hope.
