Cross country is one of the minor sports at the Northwest School.
At least two inter-school meets are held each year. During the 1938
season the annual meet with St. Paul Aggies was run off between
halves of the football game on Homecoming Day. A large number
of graduates were on hand to witness the victory by the Central
School Aggies. On November 4th, the Northwest School team
journeyed to St. Paul for a return meet with the Central runners
and once again we were defeated.
CLARENCE KLUG, Captain Barnesville
Clarence, our smiling pacer, seriously threatened his opponents in
every run. He was “tops” on the squad.
WILBUR BETTELS Mahnomen
This was Wilbur’s first year on the squad. He demonstrated great
ability and promises to be an important factor in next year’s meets.
DAVID CALDWELL Lengby
His ability as a miler put him in a responsible position during his
first year on the team.
WALLACE HERMANSON Mahnomen
He won his place on the squad because he had not only great stay-
ing. power but reserve to make the closing seconds of the race in-
teresting for opponents.
DONALD LaPLANTE Crookston
He has held a place on the team for two consecutive seasons because
of a steady pace coupled with much determination.
LEORTON LOFSTRAND Lengby
His second season on the team and again he demonstrated speed,
power, and endurance.
