The rowing season of 1942 was the greatest season ever had by the Ecorse High School crews. For the second consecutive year the senior crew attained the title of International Champions of North America. The crews were coached this year by jim Rice, an internationally-known coach for fifty years. Mr.'Rice, in referring to the senior crew, said, They are the best high school crew I ever saw. The crew deserved this comment, and is indeed thank- ful to jim for all that he has done for them. Among this year's accomplishments by the senior crew were two things never be- fore accomplished by a high school crew. The first was the winning of both the Senior High School and the Senior Heavyweight Races of the Central States Regattag the second was the winning of the Senior High School and Senior Heavyweight Races of the Canadian Henley Regatta. Another notable accomplishment was the defeat of Culver Military Academy on their own course. The seasonal record was as follows: At Chicago, the crew met and defeated Waller High School of Chicago, Lane Tech, also of Chicago, and Madison High of Madison, Wisconsin. At Culver Military Academy, the crew defeated Culver for the first time in nine years on their own course. At the Central States Regatta, the crew made history by winning the Senior High School and Senior Heavyweight Races. At the Canadian Henley, the largest regatta in Canada, the crew again made history by winning the Senior High School and Senior Heavyweight Races. . Four members of the senior crew are now serving in the armed forces. They are: Robert Vollmar, U.S.N.R. Aviation Cadet, Virgil Ciungan, U.S.N.R. Aviation Cadet, Robert Blair, U.S. Army, and Harold Covert, U.S. Coast Guard. The junior Varsity Crew also enjoyed an undefeated season.
