On April 20, 1956, the Wayne Track Team went on the warpath. They first defeated Good Counsel at Boys' Park, Newark. It was a good day for Wayne for they won the meet 67-32, broke three records, and swept the weight events. April 25 again saw Wayne on the warpath as they downed Boonton 62M to MM. On May 4 Wayne added another victory to its slate by defeating Pompton Lakes 70-47 at Pompton Field. The Indians scalped Bogota 96- 12 on May 7 to bring their record to 4 and 0. Butler suffered defeat at the hands of Wayne by a score of 70 273 to 46173. Next was Wayne's trumping of Passaic Valley on May 14 by a score of 96-21. The last meet of the season was Wayne's only setback. They lost to Dover 65273 to 51173. A record of seven meets and six victories is an ideal one, but this could not have been possible had it not been for the team's driving ini- tiative and the expert guidance of Coach Walter E. Ross. The apex of glory for the team was winning the 1956 Lakeland Conference Track Championship. Cinder Champs Row I: E. Del Mastro, J. Van Brunt, J. Hagmann, W. Monahan, P. Loewri- gheit, R. Beck, A.
