Oar Smiling Trackettes<br />

"First call for <strong>the</strong> two-mile relay, all<br />

runners report to <strong>the</strong> starting line at<br />

once ! " This familiar call Is heard<br />

throughout <strong>the</strong> many track meets to<br />

get <strong>the</strong> running events going. Trackettes<br />

for <strong>the</strong> past two years have done<br />

a terrific job <strong>of</strong>ficiating <strong>the</strong> home<br />

track meets. Stop watches click on at<br />

<strong>the</strong> sight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gun smoke and stop<br />

as a runner breaks <strong>the</strong> winning string.<br />

The field event show trackettes heaving<br />

<strong>the</strong> pole up for a 12'3" jump at<br />

<strong>the</strong> pole vault, tugging tapes for <strong>the</strong><br />

discus event, raking <strong>the</strong> pit for long<br />

jump, and running around looking for<br />

<strong>the</strong> guys who haven't taken <strong>the</strong>ir turn.<br />

Trackettes get <strong>the</strong> opportunity to have<br />

a little authority over <strong>the</strong> men for<br />

once, to take on responsibility, and<br />

to have fun. <strong>In</strong> order to distinguish<br />

<strong>the</strong> track guys from <strong>the</strong> trackettes,<br />

yellow patches with a green foot in<br />

<strong>the</strong> center were made as <strong>the</strong> symbol<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> trackette club. This year<br />

Becky Clark, Sandy Bond, and Nancee<br />

Hill were chosen as co-captains this<br />

year.<br />
