Most of the boys were inexperienced at the beginning of the season, but they did have an earnest desire to learn. Their splendid spirit of cooperation brought them through with flying colors. We are fortunate in having all but one of the squad return next year, and are looking forward to a successful season.

This year we had fourteen boys who came out regularly and the results of the meets showed we had a much better balanced team. Some of the outstanding performers this year were: VERNON MANES, who entered as many as seven events in dual meets, never failing to place in every one of them. Vern’s best event was the broad jump. He has done 20' 10 in practice, and has been defeated only once at this writing —that by one-half inch in the Conference Meet. GEORGE WENTWORTH, undefeated in the mile and half mile and beaten only twice in the high hurdles. George broke the county record in the mile. He has had no competition as yet, having won every race by 50 to 200 yards. JIM JONES, the county champion in the 220 and 440, placed in those two events in the Conference Meet. Jim’s best event, however, is the low hurdles, in which he probably will win county and conference championships in 1940.
