Little Beavers HINING, glistening, wet walls of the Y. W. C. A. reflect the faces of Cen- tral's mermaids as they splash, and the pool echoes with their war whoops. This year swimming classes were organized in both the fall and spring. During the spring term, for the first time, classes were formed ac- cording to the ability of the thirty-seven girls who signed up. There are both intermediate and advanced classes. Thirty-nine physical examinations were given free to girls attending these classes. Out of these swimming classes, the G. A. A. swimming team was chosen. The team is made up of the ten girls who ranked highest in the tryouts which were held at the Y. W. C. A. on December l3. All of those trying out were re- quired to perform three regulation strokes such as back, crawl, and breast: three dives, choosing from running or standing front, back, swan, and jack-knife: float, tread water, retrieve objects, surface dive, and perform stunts. Members of the swimming team for this year were Betty Flad, Ellen Rowley, Sylvia Goldenberg, Dorothy Cotter, Carol Strane, Andrea Thomas, Eleanor Mo- gren, and Alice Godfrey. lean Morris, who is swimming head on the executive board, automatically captained the team.
