The 1957 season was not a very successful one for the team. Errors proved to be the main reason for the continuing Darwinmen losses. Perhaps the best game of the season was the one that Paul Reider pitched against Neshaminy. The game was a good one, but it was almost lost because of errors. Although five of the starting nine were seniors, there were many iuniors and sophomores on the team. The returning lettermen should help the T958 team a great deal.

Although the girls lacked the wins, they had spirit, determination, and good sportsmanship. It was very evident, however, that from the first inning they were in trouble. Being convinced that they were the underdogs, they had difficulty in gaining the upper hand. Some good, fast pitching might have been the spark they needed to place them in the victory column, Although they have lost some of their best teammates through graduation last year, the 1958 team with its replacements and under the coaching of Miss Van Artsdalen is ready to move into the SSBSOD.

The squad swept their dual meet schedule unbeaten in eight straight meets. Pennsbury gave the cindermen their closest competition before going down to a 66-47 defeat. The third Lower Bucks County League title fell to the fast-stepping Tennentmen. The season had still more surprises in store as the team captured the Bridgeton Relay title and the following week outran six outstanding teams to win the first Penn Relay championship in the history of the school. The team consisted of Jack Wiley, Paul Hendrixson, Bob Johnson, and Ken Montgomery. This same team proved itself again and again as it broke the record for the mile relay in the L.B.C.L. All Star Meet, took second place in the Districts and second place in the State Meet with 3:28.2 clocking. Special recognition must be given to outstanding distance-runner Tom Carr, discus-thrower Bob Kelly, shot-putter Doug War- burton, and hurdler Bob Doan. Three county records were hung up by Tennent athletes: Jack Wiley, pole vault 11'6 , Ken Montgomery, 440-yard dash in 51.7 seconds, the mile relay team, time 3:33.4. The outlook for the 1958 season is good with seniors George Oliver, Don Cole, Herb Carver, and Chip Klinger returning for action. This group is supplemented by a fine group of iuniors. The main opposition will be furnished by the teams of Neshaminy and Pennsbury. 98
