All opposition in class B was decisively broken by the Amity Mermen. As there is no official class B swimming championship Amity has won this honor by virtue of having beaten every class B school in the State. In overall competition Amity has the distinction of finishing 3rd in total scoring for all classes. Ten records in all have fallen before the powerful Amity swimmers. These record-breaking events were led by Captain Jim Giebler's time of 20.7 in the 40 yard freetyle in the first meet. After the ice was broken, record times were es- tablished again and again, there were four new record times. Although swimming is not a spectator sport and is very little publicized, our team has drawn and interested an large number of enthusiastic and proud followers.
