Warrior of the West
Robert Lewis Tatge has certainly excelled in the competitive fields Maine West has to offer.
During his sophomore year he was voted the most valuable player on the track team. In Bob's four years of track, he'll never be able to forget one race that took place last year.
He got off to a good start, jumping each hurdle with ease. As the race continued Bob continued to go faster and faster until he was far in the lead with only one hurdle remaining to be jumped. But, instead of jumping it, he sub‑consciously ran around it and was disqualified.
With a scholastic "B" average, he has become a member of the National Honor Society and, with an ear for music, is in concert Orchestra playing the viola.
Could Improve Behavior
"The students of Maine should take more pride in their school and show better behavior at meets," commented Bob. He added, "That is almost as bad as girls who park themselves in the middle of halls holding conferences and block traffic at the same time."
Bob's spare moments are either filled up by one certain blonde senior, or training to improve himself physically. "I believe everyone should work to improve himself as hard as he can. When working hard you regret you ever started but once you're finished, you have that gratifying feeling of accomplishment."
Embarrassment
Bob was never more embarrassed than he was two years ago. While swimming at Rand Park he ripped four different bathing suits going down the slide.

By placing second in the District, Bob, along with four other trackmen, will represent Maine West down‑state this week.
"There are many benefits in going out for track," remarked Bob. "The opportunity to meet new and interesting people, the challenge of the sport, and the rewards are great."
Bob intends to further his education at Drake University in Des Moines and plans to major in business administration.
