Wafer XQJL- wimmzfn The water polo team with the guidance of coach Ken Allen enioyed a fairly successful season, winning games played with San Jose and San Mateo and dropping a pair to Palo Alto and Sequoia. Dick Reyna was chosen all-P.A.L. goalie, while Dick Mercer, Bob Hoopes, Larry Mellema, Barry Goyette, Ted Alexander, and Joe Carboni consistently played a good game. During the season the team also had practice meets with the U. of Cal. Frosh team and the Olympic Club team. This year the swimming team, under Coach Swede Righter, was com- posed mostly of lower classmen. This meant that, although the team was too inexperienced to make much of a showing, next year's will include many veterans and should do very well. The only returning members from the '49 squad were Britt Vail, Dick Mercer, Larry Mellema, and Ronnie May. Britt Vail was the champion for the backstroke in all of Northern Cali- fornia and was the best swimmer the school has produced in many a year. With the help of these boys, our team, in spite of many difficulties, was able dl' f e f. -is ftp, ,, 'Y 0 ,, ' .H to keep up its high spirits. ,yy a5f,,9,+4. 1.4 Q V, 5,4 , j Y 1 4' H 'ffivi , 72 9-3, ., J' Q BACK now: J.

Ron Dawson led his team in the 100 and 200 yard dashes. Bob Hamilton proved invaluable to his team in the broad jump and dashes. The team fwhich was ac- claimed the best team Blingum has produced in five yearsb, made a good showing in practice meets and was winner of the P.A.L. - an outstanding record. The 30's team was sparked by the speed of Doug Morgan in the 75 and T50 yard dashes and Terry Moore in the 330. Also outstanding on this team were Mike Darling, Bill Wachsmuth, and Ken Marlin. The 20's team had several good track men, including Fred Biagini, Stewart Johnson, Noel Nelson, Jim Van Der Beets, and Ray Smith, who led the team to victory in many events.
