Harriers Pace Through Season

Through a great deal of practice at Huntington Park, The Newport News Cross Country Team paced rapidly through their '62 season.  With the leadership of Coach Conn, the Typhoon "Harriers" made a pleasing impression on all the schools with which they competed.
Placing sixth in the Wiliam and Mary A.A.U. Tournament, fourth in the State Tournament, and also fourth in the Eastern District Tournament, the energetic Harriers chose as their captains Bill Shaw and Gerald Wright.

      Catch Us If You Can 

    (Dave Clark Five)


Here they come again, mmm, catch us if you can, mmm.
 Time to get a move on, mmm, we will yell with all of our might.

Catch us if you can, catch us if you can,
Catch us if you can, catch us if you can.

Now we gotta run, mmm, no more time for fun, mmm.
 When we're gettin' angry, mmm, we will yell with all of our might.

Catch us if you can, catch us if you can,
Catch us if you can, catch us if you can.
