SWIMMING for the state tourney. Also undefeated was tri-captain Dave O’Brien representing the team at the States in the 157 lb. class for the second year in a row. Eddie Wilcox, the third captain, was kept out of state competition after a controversial match in the sectional tourney where he was penalized after he had won and time had run out. The swim team again had a winning season which saw the participation of girls equal to that of the boys for the first time since they began to swim on the team. They finished fourth out of ten teams a the G.B.L. Conference Championship. The first two losses came to perennial swimming powers Haverhill and Danvers who annually replenish their teams with the cities’ AAU-YMCA swimmers. A disqualification filled, controversial meet at Medford resulted in the only other loss. Four of the five wins were solid Tornado victories, the fifth was the last meet of the year where the Tornadoes took a second and third in the final relay to edge a strong Salem team by two points. 919: a school record lonely sports 21

OUTDOOR CLUBS Whether it’s green pancakes, sore backsides or red and cold noses, it’s all a part of the outdoors. Nature was in” and very enjoyable despite the physical aches and pains of skiing and horseback riding or the bugs and strange food of camping. The fun was still there. The back to nature” boom effected everyone. Walking or bike riding became a way of life for many rather than a car. Hiking and cross country skiing were also very popular. The evidence was shown in the boom of the outdoor clubs. Although the Camping Club was just a year old, it was very large and nearly all the members took part in the frequent trips to campsites, mountains, and hostels. The club camped twice in Tamworth, N.H., once to climb Mt. Chicaoura. There was a hiking trip to a hostel in Martha’s Vineyard and a ski trip to Jay Peak in Vermont during the February vacation. The Ski Club was also active in its trips to New Hampshire and its large scale trip to Austria during the February vacation. The nature boom that swept the country left its mark on the outdoor clubs. clubs 23
