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.

BOWLING Hampered by inexperience, the Amity bowling team never- theless showed fine form throughout the season. Special mention goes to Capt. Ken Kehrer, one of the highest scorers in the league and also to John Bell, Ernie Grabber, and Dick Kehrer, who, al- though novices to organized bowling competition, have been re- sponsible to a large extent for the success of the team so far. High scoring honors go to Ken Kehrer with the high game Amity's golf team, finishing a creditable 1956 season, re turns shortly to the rolling lawns of local clubs. As the golf season give any results. However, on the basis of last year's record and the fact that all the lettermen are returning this year with a-season of experience under their belts, we feel that the oncoming round of matches promise to be highly successful. One of the highlights of the 1956 matches was the excep- tionly fine score of 79 made by Captain Art Decko, who comes of 154 and the high 3 games with 345. - 2.1, , .1 doesn't begin until after the Embers publication we are unable to ,T xk-:,h E , n' .., -I X 17 .
