TRACKSTERS WARM UP-Larry Penney, Rod Ostrom, Ralph Norman, and Art Toms. Outstanding in the i955 track campaigns were two senior boys, Duane Smith and Paul Smith. Duane, at the State Track Meet, cleared 6' 515' to shatter an old record. The new mark was only two inches under the National High School Record. The lanky Duke's best lump previous to that mark was at the C-lO Conference Meet, where he leaped 6' 33A , a new conference record. Paul Smith made his startling discus throw during the C-lO Conference Meet, when he heaved the discus lo? Mfg for a new conference record. He bettered the old record by 23'. Coach George Bostwick's team, as a whole, had a rather poor season, losing out in two duals, Seward and Columbus, two invitationals, Doane and David City, the C-i0 Conference and the District Meets, although they did place first in the Class B Hastings Invitational.
