Wand will be in the 100 yafrd dash along with Berlean. VVand won this event last year and will be favored again this year. Coach Kessler is not sure yet who will be entered in each event. Shaw who ran the mile last year for the tirst time will be back there, working harder than ever. In 1935 VVest Lafayette was not very suc- cessful, but this year the boys will be t-raining much harder. In former years track and field teams of VVest Lafayette have been outstanding. Then for some unknown reason the teams for a couple of years were not as strong as usual. The team this year is expected to put NVest Lafayette at the top where it be- longs. f41l

E421 ,.,, 71 'TP' K ,' 7,f 1- -'Y7 HIGH SCHOOL SONG To Lafayette we raise our song, Fair High School in the plain, The name that sets our soulii fire, And our successes claim, To Lafayette, my Lafayette, In praise our voices swell The scenes of happy high school days, The home we love so well. Oh morning glow, which gilds the east, Oh sun which shines at noon, Oh stars which bloom at eventide, Oh radiant, glowing moon, Look from the pathless azure dome Shed blessings from above, On high school halls, and high school walls The Lafayette we love. And when the shadows softly fall , O'er hills and valleys dear, Across the high school campus rings The melody.so clearg The circling hills throw back again The glad inspiring song And in our hearts to Lafayette, Our praises We prolong. When from the fold we far shall stray, With souls no longer strong, We'll ne'er forget our high school days, The friends for which we long, And when our steps have feebly grown, The trials of life we've met And then with fleeting breath we'll praise, Our dear old Lafayette.
