Under the guidance of Father Mcl-lardy, Moderator, Mr, Camera, Coach, and Tom Wilde, Senior Captain, the team finished up with only one win, that being over Weber. This year's team consisted of only five veterans: Captain Tom Wilde, 50 yd. and relay, Bill Wahl, lUU and ZOO yd., loe Salvato, lOU and relay, Tom Harrison, 50 and relay, and Tom lerger, breaststroker. The new additions to this year's squad were Ed Meyer, promising backstrokerg Ierry Ulane, diver, also Dennis Blanz and Walter Blazok, free- style men. Although the team has pulled through this season without an overabundance of victory, due to practice and inexperience, better success next year is a certainty. The team earnestly hopes for some new swimmers next year to replace Tom Wilde and Bill Wahl who will graduate this year. Page One Hundred Thirteen .....
