TR-ACK The Winterset track team, although not a winning team, turned in some fine work this spring and showed that Vvinterset should bc well represented next year. The 440-yard, 880-yard, and two-mile relay teams competed in the Drake Re- lays, but failed to place. The team placed second in a triangular meet between NVinterset, Creston, and Indianola. Although placing fourth in the conference meet, the Wintcrset boys were close on the heels of the third place Pella team. At the Valley Junction Relays the team failed to place. Harold Johnson was the most consistent winner of the team, registering a victory each time he ran the mile. Harold should make good next year. Dick Paton and Leslie Garland were other underclass stars. Ernest Mueller and Harold Allen were the outstanding seniors on the team. The sophomores nosed out the seniors in the interclass track meet and won first place.

BOYS' BASKETBALL Although the scores of the season show a poor basketball record for Wi11- terset, the boys received some valuable experience and training. The team placed third in the county tournament and went to the finals of the state sectional contest. Perhaps the biggest thrill of the year came to the boys when they upset Knoxville in the sectional tournament. !Captain Kermit Moore, a senior, played fine ball all year. His defensive ability and his accuracy on long shots made him a valuable player. Irvin Yates, a. junior, held the other guard position. His all-round playing was outstanding this season. , Rex Wade played his second year as a regular forward and will be back next season. He was Winters-et's chief offensive threat. Willard Mease, Leroy Addy, and Arthur Goshorn were used at the other for- ward position. They are seniors and will be missed next year. Deane Martin, Dyle Martin, Dick Paton, Leslie Garland, Bob Graves, and Walter Beedle are other members of the squad who will be back next year. Won 5: Lost 16 Winterset 13 ........

A , GIRLS' BASKETBALL The Winterset girls were the Madison county champions this year, and they should have a good team next year. Rae Lena Addy, a junior, was a sensational basket shooter. Her determina- tion to win at all timed made her an outstanding player this year. Henrietta Spurgin, a senior, played a steady, dependable game of basketball all year at the position of guard. She used her height to a good advantage and will be greatly missed next year. Kathleen Croft had an exceptionally good eye for the basket and showed un- usualy good team work. Kathleen will be lost by graduation. Theresa Lucas, sophomore, very capably filled the position of guard. Being exceedingly fast, she had the ability to work with her teammates and Will be a great asset to her team next year. Mae Breen, a sophomore, was a very good forward. She was plucky, speedy, and flashy. Mae was known for her 'good sportsmanship. Captain Maxine Harrell, a guard, was an invaluable player for her team. Her faultless passing, her sudden well-timed interception, her sense of fair play, and her untiring enthusiasm gasve her team mates inspiration that spurred them on 'to victory. It will be very difficult to fill her place. Francine Allen, Betty Cox, and Grace Cooper were substitutes, and they very capably filled their respective positions. Won 10. Tied 2.
