lljarfiify jracl' Track bowed into the sports picture at ZionfBenton for the first time in the spring of 1944. A large number of boys showed their interest in the sport by turning out for practice the first day that Track Coach Fred Stanton issued the call. Although the season seemed dismal in the win column, it was in reality a success, for the experience gained throughout the schedule of dual meets was priceless and will undoubtedf ly show up to great advantage this year. Meets were held with Kenosha, Washington Park, Horlick, Liberty' ville, and Lake Forest. The season came to a close with the Lake County meet at Lake Forest. Even though defeated in these meets, the Zee Bees showed the same dogged determinaf tion which is so prominent in all Zion' Benton athletic teams. Captain Robert Burt was the inf dividual scoring leader, with forty points in competition. Besides Burt, other letter winners were William Blonn, Mike Kerpan, Howard Marze, Elmer Maynard, LeRoy Minton, Alfred Clson, and Burton Stockstill. The loss of Arnold Johnson, who enlisted in the Navy early in the season, and John Eliason, injured in the iirst meet, was sorely felt. Their presence throughout the entire schedf ule would have doubtless resulted in an improved record. Prospects for the 1945 season are considerably brighter with the return of 5 letter men. They are Alfred Clson, elected captain for 1945g Wil' liam Blonn, Mike Kerpan, Howard Marze, and Elmer Maynard. Cther outstanding varsity prospects include William Burt, Harold Casteel, Harry Casteel, Richard Eagle, Robert Edge, Donald Maples, jerry Martin, Charles McDowell, Jack McDowell, Donald Neave, and Don Pierson. In the hrst intrafclass meet the Seniors were victorious. The juniors took second place. I I'AI2li SIXTYITH Bfxfik Row: XY. Burt. VW. Blonn. D. Ncavc. E, Maynard. M. Kcrpan, H. Marzc. E. Lapell.
