Track lleff to rightl ROW l-Wallingford, Procknow, Poitros, Riggs, Couch Frost. ROW 2-Ingram, Wills, Stevenson, Bennett, Klum, Reineccuis. On March lst, twenty boys turned out to organize the first track team in four years. Coach G. B. Frost had many handi- caps to overcome in organizing this yearls teams. One of the most outstanding handicaps was the fact that our high school has no track or jumping pits on the local field. Therefore all meets had to be scheduled away from home. lnexperience of our track team was another handicap in that we have had no track team since any of these present students entered S.H.U.H.S. The only trackmen with experience were those who transferred from other schools where they had participated in track events. April 2nd, ten of the team traveled to 60 Portland to enter the Hill Relay Carnival. The boys made a good showing considering their previous experience. April 9th, the team traveled to Albany to enter a four-way meet with Albany, Leb- anon, and letlerson. The boys showed im- provement with Procknow taking second place in the low hurdles. April l7th, the team traveled to Eugene to the Hayward Relays, April 20th the three-way meet with Albany and jefferson, April 23rd Willamette Valley Track Meet, April 30th at Eugene for Tri County meet and May 4th three-way meet with Albany and Lebanon and May 7th District meet with Jefferson and Junction City.
