Turning gamely into the home stretch, a sudden hot gust of wind blows into the runner's parched mouth! Like leaden pistons those weary legs pump! Behind comes the eager crunching spikes! Spurred on, the runner, completely oblivious to the roaring crowd, sees only the 'Finishing line! For some reason those last few yards always seem the toughest! Usually each trackman tries to save a little extra for that final haul. With this motive in mind, every new season the determined cindermen endeavor to not only build up speed but also en- durance. Thus, the achievement of such a goal rests mostly on the individual but Coach Harris and Coach LeMaire do proivde stimulating exercises! Soon strenuous practise began to remedy the weaker areas of the team. Daily the pole vaulters practised, jumping higher and higher! Stretching constantly for more height, Rockness worked on the high iump. Sullivan, running with great bulging strides, showed tremendous potential! 0 Carl Seeland Dave Rockness Jack Hocking Discus High iump Shot put at
