TW'~O LPI,ETTEMEN fromt last year's track team, (;arn McBride,
left, and Hobby D)ra wdy, will be counted on heavily to help b)oost this
year's track team. l)ran dy, last year's top point -miaker with Ma 1-.4
points, is currently suffering from a leg injury and his status is
uncertain. McBride, who was sec&ondl with 54 points, is showing up)
well according to Coach liaskin. I raw dy specializes in the 100J-yard
dash and McHride is the mtiler and the half-miler, winning the state
championship last .vear.
HAYNJE FLOYD, outfielder, is one of the lettermen returning to
the baseball team. A terrific throwing arm renders F loyd a valuable
man. Injured the latter part of last season. he hatted 286 r th ya.
