The whole team contributed to our success with many lower termers proving their skill and their value along with the experienced Seniors. Captain Charlie Enger and Charles Wright scored many points for the team in the IOO yard backstroke. Ted Gamble again turned in a wonderful iob of diving-he placed first in almost all of the meets he participated in, and our relay team, Vito Fosella, David Blumin, Ernie LaFlamme, and Carl Raichle was rarely beaten. The team finished the season in the 5th slot of the Brooklyn-Richmond P.S.A.L. and next year hopes to do even better. Even though 5 or more of the team are graduating in June, with the experience that the others are getting this year, and with the prospect of new materiel to come, Curtis can look forward to even better seasons. Any boy can try out for the team, the only qualification necessary to make it is that he must swim the 50 yard freestyle in 3l seconds or less. Shllllllll HG
