WMM! ,.., f The splash boys made quick work of the Suburban League Meet by taking all the cups there were to be had and making three of the four new records. This season the squad made the longest trip in New Trier's swimming history, traveling to Des Moines, Iowa, where they beat the home squad by the score of 4-7 to 19. As most of this year's team is comprised of seniors, next year's outlook is not as bright as it was for this year, but there are a lot of potential possibilities which are capable of holding up our high standards, although they may not reach the admirable status of this year's squad. 88

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.

l 05A .SD0l0A Swimming evwon Q New Trier's 1939-40 Frosh-Soph Swimming Team lived up to the high standards which have been set by previous teams. Although they lost the meet to Crane Tech, which was the only nleet lost by a New Trier Frosh-Soph squad in two years, they Hnished otherwise undefeated in all other meets including the Suburban League championship which was won by our Pony team. The 200 yard relay team, composed of McKeown, Attridge, Slamin and Seiler, was undefeated throughout the season. The medley relay team, composed of R. Wiese, Reece and Stubbs also made a Hne showing, winning their event in the Suburban League meet. In the free style, Stubbs, the Frosh-Soph Co-Captain who won a Varsity letter, won the Suburban 50 yard sprint in 26 seconds even, break- ing Bennett's two-year record of 26.4 seconds. The breast stroke section was ably taken care of by Reece, J. Cobb, and L. Lippincott. Reece won his race in the Suburban meet, and while doing so, he broke Al Cobb's two- year record of 33.2 seconds by finishing in nine-tenths of a second less time. D. Ball, R. Wiese, Spoor and Swartz made a strong back- stroke section. Ball was our best representative backstroker in the Suburban meet. The diving was taken care of by Joe and Ray Anthony. Joe won the Suburban diving championship, breaking Jack Davisis three-year record, while Ray followed close behind. FROSH-SOPH SWIMMING TEAM First Row-E. B. Jackson-Coach, J. Anthony, A.
