MEET ANN ARBOR HIGH'S TRACK CHAMPS: For several years The News has honored the city's championship high school teams by printing pictures of the squad which took the title. Here, then, is the squad which holds this year's Five-A League and regional track championship. Some of its members today were competing at Ferry Field in the State Class A title meet. Those above who failed to qualify for today's competition were on hand to cheer. The squad members, left to right, in each instance: BOTTOM ROW - Assistant Coach Hank Fonde, Prenty Ware, Chuck Morton, Jack Newman, Don Franklin, Coleman Jewett, Co-Capts. Bob Barr and Bill Newman, Art Preston, Bob Winder, and Coach Tim Ryan. SECOND ROW - Joe Bone, Bruce Rockman, Harry Haas, Bill Koch, Dick Mayers, Don Koch, Bob Hensen, Dick Sleet, Harry Shore, and Hugh Correll. THIRD ROW - Manager Jerry Waxman, Art Clark, Jim Ritchie, Milt Theros, Marv Baker, Duane Calvert, Mike Berg, and Hathaway Gulley. FOURTH ROW - Manager Don Thomas, Pete Gilbert, Bob Evans, Jerry Leith, Stewart May, Tom Leith, Howard Reidell, and Bob Wright. The Leith twins, transfer students from U high at midyear, were not eligible for competition this spring but trained with the rest to keep in shape for next year's campaigning.
