Criss-cross Country Race Loses
Runner in Fog

Samuel Sightless '73, who somehow got lost during the two mile criss‑cross country race against the Prospect Frights last September and has been missing ever since, was found yesterday wandering aimlessly around the B‑wing teachers' parking lot. Upon discovery, Sam was rushed immediately to Lutheran General Hospital and has been undergoing mental analysis. His condition is reported as "unbelievably insane."

Mr. Welington Fleetfoot, criss-cross country coach, retold the information about Sam's loss and then discovery.

It seems that during the home meet against Prospect, held September 31, 1965, a thick fog crept into the area; and many of the runners had difficulty following the marked course. After the Harriers had captured the first 20 positions of the race, the Prospect Frights began to filter across the finish line. When all the runners had completed the two miles, it was noticed that Samuel Sightless was not among them.

"We formed a search party then," the coach exclaimed, "but Sightless was never found. After two more weeks of searching, Sam was given up as a lost cause."

Late yesterday afternoon, a Maine West geometry teacher wearing white socks discovered Sam wondering about the teachers' parking lot. When Sam failed to show his ID. card to the teacher, Old White Socks marched Sam to the Dean's office.

After an hour of interrogation, the Dean was able to ascertain Sam's identity and so called the hospital and Sam's parents. Sam's only comment about the incident was "That sure was the longest two miles 1 ever ran."
