A request to Mr. Dave Ladd for permission to use part of the Whispering Oaks development for a running course was granted and with the help of Mr. Don Gerstad a path was laid out through the woods and fields west and north of the ljew high school building. The first course ran afoul of the building being done and the next year a new course had to be laid out and cut with the help of Mr. Gerstad. In addition to developing the legs and lungs, Cross Country had also helped develop the arms. We did much pick and shovel work filling in ruts, chopping down trees out of the way, trimming a path through the timber where none existed, etc. This year we had to enlist the aid of Mr. Walter Coari as a bridge builder to span a rather wide ditch that crosses our path. Our girl helpers, led by Barb Mornez have painted signs such as "Go-Warriors-Go" and placed them around the course. The girls act as sign posts and cheering squad during the races -- stationing themselves along the course -- our boys are seldom out of sight. This course is probably the only true Cross Country course in the state -- most teams run on Golf Course grounds or in City parks -- our course has hills, grades, tunnels through the underbrush, -- pheasant - rabbit - and deer to be seen. During the fall seasonthe leaves add much to the beauty of the area. Our team is proud of this course and has never lost a match while running on it.

Ed Malenius In 104-32 Victory With North Park Ed Malenius played first string defensive center for North Park last Saturday in what may be some kind of a record game. It was North Park's homecoming and all they did was get fired up to beat North Central .... a team they hadn't beaten for 10 years . . . by a score of 104 to 32* North Park led 69-6 at half time and kept rolling even with third stringers. Records fell all over the place. The first quarter ended 42- 6 and took 45 minutes to play. Along about the fourth quarter somebody must have hollered for an adding machine.
