I I I amify Sw'mmin9 ecwon Q This year New Trier's Varsity swimming team set a record that will undoubtedly stand for some time as a goal for future teams to strive to equal. Our lnermen were unde- feated in all twelve of their dual meets, they captured the Suburban League crown for the fourth consecutive year and they took second place to Lane Tech of Chicago in the State Meet for the second year in a row. This Hne record would be the envy of any coach, and full credit goes to our line swim- ming coaches: Mr. Jackson, Head Coach, Mr. Happ, Assistant Coach, and Mr. Condon, Diving Coach. The team this year possessed two outstanding stars in the ' lu, I I ' ,'w In Il L ,V y I iq. I 'G Im L I I 1 I 'TU' JJ! III II I I II IfII,..I - ,.WL N.Wf ' ,ii, I T55 -w3+- ' T I, K I!

Bob broke his old Suburban League record in the 100-yard free and was a close second to Amundsen of Lane Tech in the State 200-yard. Ben finished a good second in the Suburban 50-yard free, and was just touched out by Heinicher of Lane Tech in the State 100-yard free style. The 200-yard relay team, composed of Jim Mahle, Don Lippincott, Ralph Jones and Ben Bricker, set a new Sub- urban League record in this event and placed second in the State Meet. This relay team won consistently throughout the season. Another important part of our swimming team was the Medley Relay team made up of Don Judson, Tom Hough and Bob Bennett. They were first in the Suburban League Meet, setting a new League record, and came in second in the State Meet. GUARD First Row-Mahle, Stubbs, Menary, Mizener, Bennett, Ellis, Lippincott, Bricker.

Third Row-Baer, Olson. Baptista, Dewey, Hoefer, Lindberg, Redfield, Benson, Kreer. Trier the unique distinction of being the only team to beat Morton and the only one to lose to Highland Park. Various combinations were tried by Coach Crater throughout the season in an attempt to produce a winning team. Captain Don Wilson, Bob Baptista, and Ozzie Redfield were almost certain starters, although Baptista and Redfield shifted their positions upon occasion. The remaining starters were chosen from a group consisting of Dick McGurk and three Bobs: Co-Captain elect Cleveland, Dewey and Lindberg. Others who saw considerable action were Andy Price, Mer- rill Hoefer, Dex Benson, Pete Kreer and Co-Captain elect Chuck Stillman. Kreer and Lindberg were hampered by ill- ness, a fact which weakened the team considerably. The out- look for next year's squad is exceedingly bright in view of the fact that Cleveland, Stillman, McGurk, Benson and Kreer are all juniors. Thus exists a team which might well have finished several rungs higher on the Suburban League ladder. Its power was demonstrated in the second game with Morton, and in the two games with Proviso's second place squad, both of which were lost by one basket or less. Its poor luck, or perhaps in- Varsity Basketball . ,... 49 Niles Center , . .,.. I7 Oak Park,... . .r.. 24 Morton .... . . ..,. 34 Evanston ..,. . .,.. 37 Waukegan ... . ,...

Backstroker Jack Wiese won the 100-yard race in the Suburban, and placed third in the State. He was ably as- sisted throughout the season by Wells, Williams and Idler. Since Wells and Idler are both juniors, the outlook for the coming season in this division is bright. Our diving department was taken care of by Louis Ware and Joe Bayard. Ware took first in the Suburban Meet and fourth in the Stateg while Bayard placed second in the Sub- urban and third in the State. All during the season these boys put on line exhibitions. Of the breaststrokers, Al Cobb, Co-Captain Jerry Miz- ener, Tom Hough and Dick Buenger all lent their strength and support to the team. An unfortunate blow was struck in this department when Al Cobb was taken ill during the latter part of the season, but his fellow breaststrokers took up the cause and finished the season with a fine showing. Our distance men, Co-Captain Menary, Bennett and Hoetger, were an outstanding feature of the team. Hoelger came in third in the State 200-yard race, and next year the coaches will count on him to win a lot of races. VARSITY SWIMMING TEAM Wiese and Williants look pretty for the cameraman.
