various ways. There was also glee

Wen Win!

Well win the track meet tomor-
row, OF course, We'll miss Tom very
much since he made our biggest
scores, but we have some excellent
men left. We could have won the
district meet by ten points without
Tom. although he made it possible
for us to win by forty. Therefore,
lust because one great misfortune
had to befall us, our losing Tom,
don't make greater one befall,
namely, sending the boys away with
the anticipation of failure instead OF
success. Inspire them with hope, and
We'll win!

pate in track work more than four
years before he enters college.
Therefore, since this is Toms fifth
