The Don's Keep On Treading WATER BABIES While most Aragonians were warm and sound asleep in bed, a small portion of high school life could be found on the seemingly deserted Aragon campus. Bobbing up and down in the deep blue wa- ters of the pool were thirty-four very dedicated guys in funny caps. They were polo players, but where were their horses? They did not have horses, for they were the talented members of the 1986-87 water polo team. Under the third year of direc- tion by coach Bob Greene, a for- mer Aragon student and water polo player, the thirteen seniors, thirteen juniors, seven sopho- mores, and one freshmen learned skills critical to their success in wa- ter polo. Endurance was a key ele- ment, and a great amount of swim- ming, about twelve hours a week improved their strength and stam- ina. A much needed element to survive ten league games plus 7 tournaments. The success of the team could be given in part to key returning players, Mike Janney 11985 var- sity all leaguel, Ted Gourvitz l1985 frosh-soph all leaguel, Jim Peterson C1985 honorable men- tion goaliei, and Chris Noa C1985 frosh-soph honorable mentionl. We have an all-star team this year, claimed coach Bob Greene. The team certainly had Wheaties potential!

THE WATER'S READY Aragon Dives In '4I.et,s give them a swim for their moneyln exclaimed Coach Guy Oling of the Aragon girl's swim team. The year 1987 had brought together Aragon High School, a well-qualified coach, and thirty-eight swimmers ready for ac- tion. With such a great combina- tion, spectators were ensured an exciting season of swimming. Amid all the backstrokes and flut- terkicks stood the man who led the varsity and frosh-soph teams to success, Coach Guy Oling. He sports an extensive coaching back- ground including heading the Bur- lingame and Hillsdale swim teams in previous years. Although 1987 had been his first year coaching swimming at Aragon, Mr. Oling was very impressed and excited by the team's talent and unity. The team consisted of nearly an equal number of powerful veteran and rookie swimmers. By practic- ing every weekday together, the new members benefitted from the experience of the veterans and de- veloped and sharpened their skills. The swimmers concentrated on stretching their talent to a variety of events, enabling the Aragon team to excel in all areas. The league meets occurred twice a week where the swimmers proved that practice really does pay off. Apparently, the loss of last year's seniors did not affect the team's performance in 1986 because of this year's multi-talented swim- -wr ,, if -M WW' 42fG1rls' Swimming ,by uf fa . ff wi 4 if . mers such as varsity's Pam Ad- dison and Sandy Ravens. Although approximately one- half of the frosh-soph team had no experience in competition prior to this year, the swimmers displayed great initiative and promise. Among the outstanding swimmers was freshman Amy Caplan. To- gether the girl's swim team swam furiously against Aragon's top con- tenders Menlo-Atherton, Wood- side, and San Mateo High School. Happy and satisfied with the girls accomplishments, Coach Oling concludes, We,ve got good spirit on this swim team. There's a lot of group effort among the swimmers. lt certainly is a pleasure to coach at Aragon! 9 fiw,,.w --- 2 5,7 nf ,mr H' fe ff
