SWIM TEAM A l5 win 2 loss record marked the end of a successful swimming season and the careers of B-F's Big Four. For the second time in recent years, B-F has had four outstanding swim- mers on the varsity for all of their four years of high school. Mike Wong, Buster Guise, Thorne Gray, and Casey Cooper composed the nucleus of this year's team. Mike and Buster repeated their '54 performances by again making All-American. The natatores lost only two meets, both to Whittier, last year's C.l.F. champs. During the season six records were broken. At Santa Maria Buster Guise broke the school and pool individual record with a fine l:l7:4, and the four man team of Guise, Wong, Gray, and Mix set a new school and pool mark in the l8O freestyle relay with a l1l8:5. ln the Prep League championship meet Mike Wong swam to a new league record in the lOO free with a 56:l. ln the meet against Whittier Mike lowered the school and pool record with a sizzling 54:0 in the TOO. Buster Guise set a meet record in the lOO free during the qualifications for the Invitational with a 54:3. The four man team set another record in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:42:l . Co-captains Wong and Guise again made the All American Prep School Swimming Team. ln the T00 Mike placed ninth, with a 54:7 and l0th in the 50 with a 2417. Buster placed l0th in the 50, also with a 24:7, and fifth in the individual medley with this record l:'l7:4. Mike's 54:0 should move him up on the list in the lOO, and his time of l:l7:2 in the individual should make him All American in that event. Buster's time of l:O7:l in the lOO breast should make him All-American in that race. Three Sophomores ioined the team this year, and greatly contributed to the team's fine record. Larry Lippman swam the TOO back, Jim Gault swam the TOO breast and individual, and Chuck Mix was a point getter in the 50 and TOO free.
