Tankers make history Swimming fans saw another exciting year, as the Maple Tankers brought back many titles, and were nosed out of several others. Arch-rival Grosse Pointe fell 54-42 in the Hrst meet of the season, but turned the tables and edged the Maples, who were leading, going into the last event, out of iirst place in the Royal Oak Relays. Revising more history, Seaholm became the only school to win both the Cereal Bowl Relays and the Pioneer Relays two years in succession. After Kimball's 51-45 victory, the Maples won three in a row, only to lose an identical meet again to Kim- ball. Grosse Pointe avenged the first game with that ill omened 51-45. The highlight of this meet was Bill Driver's amazing l:04.7 in the 100 yard breaststroke, which holds the national record for a twenty yard pool. 4The strength of a team largely depends upon its relays, and the freestyle relay certainly was a great asset to the Tankers. Second in the state, and holding the pool and school records, Bob Sintz, Denny Collins, and Jim Leahy shout encouragement to anchor-man, Jim Elliott. Teaming up Bill Driver Cdivingl, fastest breaststroker in the state, Larry Severy Cin the waterl, a junior with great potential, Jim Elliott, first in the state in the 50 yard freestyle, and Fred Anderson, third best butterilier in Michigan, you compose the medley relay team, which was second in the state by one-tenth of a second, and holds the pool and school records.
