Five days a week the girls swim- ming team got up at 5:45 a.m. in order to be at the YMCA pool by 6; 15. They did a considerable amount of complaining . . . This practice seems awfully long! (The time goes slowly when one looks at the clock every five minutes.) I ' m sick! (What do you expect with an empty stomach and a strained neck from frequent clock watching). The first meet of the season proved to be very exciting. It was at North Montgomery and the score was very close. Coach Karberg had been keeping track of the score, and after the last relay, her total showed that the Whalers had lost by two points. The girls picked up their sweats and headed for the locker room. Then, the official score was announced — it was a tie! The girls decided it was a good thing Coach Karberg didn ' t major in math! There were always plenty of fans to support the girls. Along with their parents, there was one group in par- ticular who cheered the girls to vic- tory. Ken Benkessar, Larry Veracco, Tony Weber, Matt and Thad Hainje, Dave Torok, and Bob Fitzgerald sel- dom missed a meet. The Whalers were an athletic team representing CC, but most of all, they were a close group of girls who represented the spirit of Cen- tral Catholic. 1: A splash in the eye doesn ' t keep Carrie Baker from trying for her best time ever. 2: Perfect form is what keeps Mary Rentschlers ' diving scores high. 3: A deep breath after coming off a turn keeps Mary MacDonald cruising to another first place finish. 4: Girls Swim Team: Angel Hartley: diving coach, Cathy Driscoll, Sue Lannert, Tricia Onorato, Becky Schrader, Coach Mary Ellen Karberg.
