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.

Val Keller, coach. m «« ' With nearly all of last year’s Eastern Collegiate Cham¬ pionship team returning and with the addition of several new men, the varsity shaped up as a dark horse for the National Championships. This year, the team is coached by Val Keller, former All-American from George Williams who has introduced new methods of training that may be part of a trend across the nation. The players watch slow-motion movies of themselves in action to discover flaws in form. The team plays in open competition, that is, they play YMCAs and athletic clubs. This was explained in an article by Roy G reenwood in the International Volleyball Review of January-February when he says, “In the Middle West, George Williams College of Chicago, seems to be so strong that most colleges are afraid to play it, therefore they are forced to play chiefly non-college teams.” Much credit is due to these athletes who through dint of diligent practice, study, tremendous interest and enthusi¬ asm have proven that the size of a college is no deterrent to a successful team, having defeated college teams dozens of times larger than GW.
