Under the watchful eye of Brother Rinaldini, the coach, the members of the team have come to function as one. ln its first full season, 1959, the team provided half-time entertain- ment at three Brother Rice home basketball games, and was asked to be the main attraction at several lo- cal talent shows. This season the team was featured at all league home basketball games, performing its inimitcbly smooth style. The captains ofthe twenty-five man team are: J. Jordan, '60, R. Petritas, '60, R. Silney, '60, .l. Lewis, '60, and G. Glasch, '60.

McRae Until the winter of 1958, there was no varsity tennis at Brother Rice. Because of the weather the boys prac- ticed in the gym. When the warm weather returned, the boys resumed workouts in the fresh air. Our first season's record was good. Led by Captain Ken McNealy, we won 5 games and lost 3. This year, upon the for- mation of a new league, the teams, once again, brought credit to them- selves and to their school. ska, x tj ou can see why the opposition finds it drfticult to return the blazing serves of Caotaun Ken McNealy Ken s form I a product of Br McRae s ,La on uw-bak-lnullff ww?

'N gvy Y. i .X M Stadler, R. Janecek, J. Mitchell, P. Sullivan, B. Walztoni, P. Fish, B. Theleen, D. Musich, During the past two years a familiar sight here at Rice, on cold blustery days, has been that of swim-team members filing out of the gym into our school bus. Overcoming many diiticulties, including traveling great distances in order to practice, the inclement weather, and the fact that practices were held at irregular intervals, the team achieved considerable success. The members, moderated by Brother Lindeman, are also aided by Mr. Sheldon Lake at West Pullman pool. The Junior team, un-captained has been undefeated this year in dual meets. Its record is 14-O. The Seniors, led by captain Bill Walztoni, have an 8-5-1 record. In the Freshman city meet, Brother Rice took third place, and Crusader Paul Akers set two records, one in the 40 yard backstroke and another in the 80 yard individual medley.
