You
want archives, here you go. The Great One, Clarence DeMar, racing through the
New England countryside (circa 1930s). DeMar was born in 1888 and grew up poor.
Running was an outlet and a joy. He would win the Boston Marathon six times in
the 1920s; his last victory was in 1930 at age 41. ItÛªs a record thatÛªs never
been broken. His final race was a 15K in 1958 at age 69. He placed 14th. ÛÏThe
Norman SchoolÛ emblazoned long-sleeved shirt seen here was also duplicated on
singlets in warmer weather. A Keene, NH resident, DeMar taught in the
Industrial Engineering Dept. of the school and also coached cross country. The
Norman School is now Keene State College.
