Boys' Varsify Swimming Team This year the Varsity Swimming Team, composed entirely of Class A and B swimmers due to the loss of most of last year's team members, placed fourth in the Secondary Boys' Championship. The Team, under Captain Bill Lockwood and Coach Rene Amabuyok, excelled in the 400 and 100 meter freestyle, but their careful coaching also gave them strength in the 200 meter breaststroke, the 100 meter backstroke, and the 100 meter butterfly. Unlike last year, the team competed in the Men's Open and the National Open Championship. To finish off their busy season, the boys made a clean sweep of the M.A.A.S.S. League. High medalists were Bill Lockwood and Gordon Lester. The Girls' Varsity Swimming Team looks over their schedule for coming meets.

Girls' Varsity Swimming The Varsity season opened on Septem- ber 30, 1959. Captained by Ellen Bancroft, and coached by Rene Amabuyok, the girls swam their way to second place in the league, defeated only by Far Eastern University. Ellen was the only team member to enter the Regional meet in December, but nearly all of the girls swam in the M.A.A.S.S. com- petitions, winning several medals. Capable new-bloodi' from the Seventh and Eighth Grades promises an even more successful Varsity in the years to come.
