Saturday we had an outing al Dean Park and a few or us managed to get sunburned. :\fter <ho\\;ng our outdoor color at the Varsity Club dance we had a lillie party of our own at the Hilicrest Country Club. As a result of the weekend Fran Saucier and Dick Lucey lost their pins. Don't bother to look for them : they're better off where they are. Besides, Joyce wouldn't parl with Frank's and Pat would never ~ive up Dick's.

On Thursday night we said our formal goodbyes to the seniors.

After the farewell talks and the little keepsakes were given, the seniors announced that their gift to the house is an automatic clothes washer and a dryer. My, are they generous! We all appreciate it a great deal.

Gerry Grise was voted this year's winner of the Toreador Trophy by nosing out Buffalo Bisson in a very close tilt.

Friday night we held a stag dance at the house with the girls from Framingham State Teachers College.

Following thnt we joined A.E.Pi in downing the keg oJ beer lhey won from us in the best softball game of the year. We lost the beer, since we didn 't win by five runs, but we won the game, which means that the Colden Horde rolls on unde· feated.

Trackmen Bow To New Britain Attd to Trinity The Tech track team closed its season last week by losing to Trinity and Xew Britrun Colle~;e . The Trinity meet which wns held a t Alumni fielrl saw the En~ineers on

Ken Haaland, Ray Polen, Bob Lunger, Don Taylor, Bill 1\fenrs, Carl Comins, and john )lorrill.

Dave Holmes was n stalwart defen~man who was always there when needed and broke up many an attack. Dave al~o swilched from lhe defeme to midfield during ~ev· era! ~tunes and scored six ~oals.

•·)l ac" who has been pinyin~ the crease spot lately, is the team's high scorer nnd his shovel 'lhot fooled many goalies. Ken Haaland has the fastest !>hot on the team and Bdb Lunger is the coolest player with n nice shot from the outside.

Ray Polen bas the knack to keep the ball in tlle stick even while his oppont-nt is chopping at it.

Don Taylor has been the ~oalie and really fills the ca~e quite capa· bly. His one nlternpt to score a goal himself was fo iled by two Ot>· ponen l~ in the Lowell game about twenty yards from the goal. All or thi.~ has been said for the Seniors but as in any sport, there is in Lacrosse: ten men on the fit'ld and fifteen men on the bench.

Dun Post won the mile in 4 :47.8 a~~d later placed second in the twomile. which was captured by Hugh Tuhs. Jlud :\ladilcan nod Bob Rob· inson sped away from thrir opposition ~~~ they placed one-two respect!wly in the 440-yard run. Stan Clevenger tied for fi r l place in the pole vault and placed third in the high jump and the 120-yd. hiRh hurdles.

The team then travelled to meet Britain College and were rlefeated 6 7-59. T he loss was allrib· utecl to the fact that Tech could only win lwo first places out of twelve events. n~> n Post and Sid Harvey tied for ftrst as they won the mile. and later Don came b.1ck to win the two-mile in shining fashion by overtaking a New Dritnin runner in the last lap. The closest race of the day was the 440-yd. run in which Dud Madigan was nosed out by inches to n TCC man. ~1adiglln also placec1 second in the high burdles and third in the 220yd. dash.
