Basketball . . . The George Williams Indians came home with only four scalps out of twenty attempts but were hard on the war-path the whole season. After losing their first ten games, the Indians stormed hack to win four of their remaining ten games! Probably the highlight of the season was the 61-45 decisive victory over our neighbor-rivals, the University of Chicago. The Indians were ahead at the outset and widened their margin as the game progressed before an enthusiastic home crowd. Wayne Dodson led the GW quintet with 18 points. Dave Harper scored eleven and the two Jerrys—Nelson and Conforti tossed in 9 and 7 points apiece. The season saw high scoring by Conforti, the rebound¬ ing of Dave Harper and a never-failing drive and enthu¬ siasm on the part of the entire squad. Every man on the squad will return with the exception of Harper and Conforti. During the season several men were lost through ineligibility and other reasons and new men were added as late as the last four games. But in spite of these diffi¬ culties the squad maintained a high team spirit. The season was climaxed by an informal buffet supper at the home of Coach Claypoole. Co-captains were Jerry Nelson and Jerry Conforti. Clem Rybacki was the team manager. Top: Jerry Conforti and an opponent jump for the ball in a game at home with Milwaukee Institute of Technology.

Lifeguards Free swims and Dole Hall Splashes are popu¬ lar activities with students who need a break in an evening of studying or to relax after a night at work. These are made possible because of the large corps of lifeguards who volunteer their services. Bob Bratton is head lifeguard, Helen Wester- berg is faculty sponsor. Swim Team After a lapse of four years, George Williams was again represented in varsity swimming. The team competed in eight meets and two champion¬ ship meets. Consistent winners during the season were Dick Knight and Boh Bratton with additional support from Bill Suzuki and Dave Ooten. Bob Bratton won second place in his event in the Chicago Inter-Collegiate held at Napierville, Illinois. Roy Kearns, a George Williams gradu¬ ate, is coach of the team; George Hanosh is the team manager. Top—Front Row: Bob Bratton, Helen Westerberg. Hester Hursh.
