West Tankmen Gain C3oodQReputaUon at District Swimming has been a team sport since the time of the most ancient records of history, but the tankmen of West added a new wrinkle. With- out sufficient numbers to produce a full team by conference standards, the Tigers pooled their swimming abilities with sister schools East and Central. For the swimmers, the arrival of dawn brought the prospect of a morning workout at the Y.M.C.A. and the setting of the sun signaled the start of the evening practice. Coached by Mr. Kienlen of Central, the aquatic youths spent many hours in the water perfecting strokes, times, and endurance. Individual standouts such as Warren Block, who placed fourth in the 100 yard backstroke and fifth in the 200 yard freestyle at the Hins- dale South District meet, gave testimony to the merit of the squad. To be sure, the swimmers took to the water willingly and gained themselves a good reputation in the process.

Coached by Mr. Kistner, the team achieved an eight-five-one record and a second place standing in the Illini 8 conference. Supplementing this feat was the winning of sec- ond place in the Grant Park Invitational Tourn- ament by the golfers. Seven strokes barred the way between the Tigers and a first place trophy. Material for future varsity teams appeared promising as the Sophomore -Golf team finished their season with an upset victory over Catholic High.
