WALTER W. BELL . .

"In the noble pursuit of making boys into men through

the manly processes of forthright athletic competition,

Walter W. Bell has achieved his mission. For 40 years he

has been an architect of life. The human.values he has

passed along to the several generations he has influenced

in the Long Beach City Schools system will reach out in all

directions. His contributions have helped make this a better

world — better made by the better men he has made,"

, . By Dick Zehms, Long Beach Independent-

Press-Telegram

VICTOR ERVING FRANCY

"Beloved and admired by the young men who have served

under him at Glendale, and Glendale Hoover High Schools

for 31 years, Victor Erving Francy retires as Track and

Field coach this year. His individual and team champions

have been many. His Hoover teams were four times Southern

California champions. The leadership which he has given,

and the inspiration which he has provided for young men

have resulted in the establishment of ideals at Glendale

Hoover High School which are unsurpassed in the nation

in prep school ranks, Victor Francy has spent his life

well — as a coach, and a builder of sturdy Americans."

its main purposes the recording of athletic achievements of athletes in all sports

and all divisions.

This 20th annual edition contains best marks of Los Angeles City and C.I.F.

track and field athletes over the past years, past C.I.F. and City championship

teams and present city, state and national interscholastic track and field marks.

There is also listed track and field athletes of the year, for both Los

Angeles and C.I.F. , selections which have been made by All-Southern California

Board of Athletics since 1937* These athletes have their names engraved upon the

Paul H. Helms trophy which is lodged in Helms Hall.

The Helms Athletic Foundation thanks Marty Zucker for his valuable and

most capable assistance in the preparation of this year's edition of its track

and field record book.

DAVE DAVIS AND BOB POYNTER NAMED AS TOP

CITY AND CIF TRACK ATHLETES OF YEAR, 1956

All-Southern California Board of Track and Field named a pair of record

breakers as 1956 Track and Field Athletes of the Year. Dave Davis of

Canoga Park High School, winner of the All-Los Angeles City shot put title, and

Bob Poynter of Pasadena High School, who won the C.I.F. Southern Section sprint

titles as well as the 220-yard state sprint championship, were the athletes named

for 1956 "player of the year" honors.

Dave Davis, Canoga Park High School's supreme shot putter, broke the Los

Angeles City meet record and the national interscholastic record in the shot put

on May 26, with a heave of 621 7 1/2". Coach C.P. Cromwell's ace athlete, was

outstanding in his event throughout the year, placing second in the California

State meet, with a put of 60' 5". Homer Robertson of Pacific High School, who won

the event, bested Davis1 week-old national mark with a monumental effort of 63'

9 1/2".

Bob Poynter, who led Pasadena's Bulldogs to the C.I.F. Southern Section

i crown with a double victory in the sprints, was unbeatable in Southern California

\. high school competition. Bob tied the C.I.F. Southern Section record of 9.6 in

j the 100-yard dash and set a new State meet standard in the 220-yard dash of 21

seconds flat. Poynter was coached during the 1956 track and field season by

Richard Simmons. Coach Simmons will receive a special Helms award for having

• coached the Bulldogs to the C.I.F. Southern Section title in 1956.

This marks the first year since the athlete of the year selections have

= been made that performers from either Canoga Park or Pasadena have been named for

;honors.
