BRAD BOYDEll SALLY CRIPPEN BOB ELFERS BARBARA FETTERS SWIMMING The Flying L Mermaids completed the 1953 season with another undefeated record, while the Mermen were downed once by the aggressive Coral Gables Cavaliers. For the sixth consecutive year the boys and girls both streaked through their respective divisions for the state championship. The boys also went on to take the Big Ten championship. The girls opened the 1954 season seeking their 83rd consecutive win. With only one returning senior. Captain Zona Howard, the major part of the re- sponsibilities fell to the juniors: Sally Crippen, Barbara Fetters, Nancy German, Helen Greenlaw, Pat Kerns, Sharen Mills, Allison Tate, and Pam Tuppen. Sophomores Carol Ridings, Cynthia Gill, Caroline Kolb, and Kathy Knox combined with the freshmen promise to make this year's team more powerful than ever before. Graduation took its toll, but nevertheless the Mermen started out this year with a promising upperclass team: Co-Captains Doug Creighton and Reg Leeby, Bob Elfers, Jack Lovell, Ron Kreulen, Walter McGrath, Richard Moore, Bill Ruggie, and Jon Strandhagen, followed up by many sure-fire freshmen and sophomores such as Brad Boydell, Ron Kuhl, David Weld, Dave Pollack, Joe Gusweiler, Pete Henne, and Tom Grubbs. Coach Tom Lamar expects another victorious season in '54. NANCY GERMAN CYNTHIA GILL HELEN GREENLAW PETE HENNE PAT KERNS KATHY KNOX
