TRACK Westwood High's athletic year drew to a close with one of the best track teams in the history of the school, coached by Mr. Haskell. Among the outstanding distance men were: Goodridge, Emerson, and Becker, A's; Bob Emerson, Bill Durkee, B's. Outstanding in the sprints and field events were: Jackson, Benedict, Wilkie, and Chatoian, A's: Harry Knecht, Silva and Merrill, B's. Kay Goodridge, Henry Jackson, and Harry Benedict competed in the N.S.C.I.F. Cal Frosh Meet at Berkeley. In the dual meet with Redding, Westwood A's lost 66 to 45, and the B's won 56 to 55. Other meets included: Susanville Invitational, April 22; Preliminary C.I.F., in Quincy April 29: Gridley N.C.H.S.A.L., May 13: Sacramento semifinals, May 20: State meet, Los Angeles, May 27. BASEBALL The baseball team this year showed a flash and zip which held the spectators' interest throughout every game. Although handicapped by lack of pitchers, the W.H.S. team showed surprising strength in actual competition. Returning from last year's squad were: Goodridge, Doering and Becker, outfielders; Clayton Newman, Miller, Benedict, Stoll, and Prusia, infielders. Newcomers included: Martinez, Boardman, Craig. Boles, Vierra, Creighton, Ott, and Granrud. Included in the schedule were two games with Lassen High, two with Lassen J. C., one with Los Molinos, and Reno High School. TENNIS Tennis entered the list of interschool sports this year for the second time, and Oscar Johnson, Bill Simmons, Joe Perry, Bob Neal, Francis Brown, ranking Lumberjack net men, and Lorraine Miley, Mary Wilcox, Marilyn Bergstrom, Betty Pinkham, and Betty Ricks, outstanding girl players, showed that Westwood can have a good team. The boys met the Lassen team twice, winning one match and losing one. The boys sub-league finals were played here on the rebuilt courts, May I 3. This was made possible through the efforts of Coach Lund, B. Simmons, O. Johnson, E. Gazarian, and F. Brown. 25
