The series begins with the crew race on Prestwood Lake. The sister class teams steady their boats under the bridge while the hushed audience waits impatiently for the sound of the starter’s gun. Then the shot breaks the silence . . . the coxswain shouts “‘stroke-up! stroke-up! stroke-up!” and mechanical coordination of the paddles breaks the smoothness of the lake. The crowd goes wild with excite- ment, each person cheering loudly for his favorite team. The boats cut swiftly through the water getting even faster as they approach the finish line. Then the cheers First Row: Ruthven, Bakis, Bowen, DuRant, Duke, Bishop, Hamilton, Atkinson, McMaster, Drose, Kolb, Long, McGui . 7. TS 3 7s aa ncn: S Frances BisHorp — LouisE PRICE Co-Crowners of victory drown the “‘oh’s” of those who were pulling for the losing team. The winning team gives its salute and the boat glides up to the dock, Suddenly the winning coxswain finds herself being dunked—the crowd’s tribute to her victorious effort! In the coolness of the morning, the finalists in the ten- nis and archery tournaments prove their skill by playing as they have never played before! With a sudden swish the archer’s arrow finds the target. Tennis balls bound and rebound with a steady rhythm, until one good break followed by a shout—‘‘15—love!” And so the games con- tinue until the winners are declared. The pool is filled with colorful suits. The audience ig- nores the occasional splashes of water, cheers on the par- ticipants of the program and praises loudly the winners of the swimming race.
