Swimming Coach Waters, who had lost many outstanding swimmers through graduation, opened the season with prospects none too bright. The natators finished with a record of nine wins, two losses and two tie meets. This placed the Trojans in third place in Border Cities competition. Dan Morrin, Don Atkinson and Phil Wood established themselves as record- breakers. This trio set the medley relay record at 1:10.3. By the close of the season Morrin had lowered the 40-yard free style record to 18.3 seconds, and he became the third Monroe swimmer to swim the 100-yard free style in fifty-five seconds. At- kinson, in lowering the 100-yard back stroke record to l:03.5, broke the poo1's oldest record. It had been set by Carl Yentz sixteen years ago. The Trojans finished seventh in the state meet. Dan Morrin captured a first in the 50-yard free style and a third in the 100-yard free style. Jim Moody, who per- formed capably all season, was a very close second in the diving. Don Atkinson finished fourth in the backstroke to round out the Monroe scoring. A star-studded alumni squad with numerous: swimming veterans subdued the high school team 48-36. Don Jennings captained the squad. Don Atkinson was voted most valuable.

Carl Herkimer, Jlm Moody. The tennis team, under the direction of Coach Fielden Tambling, rolled to four consecutive wins to get the season under way. The team has few returning letter- men and a rough schedule but hopes to win a majority of their matches. Track Coach Richard Waters informs us that the outcome of the track season depends almost entirely on the ability of untried material to round into shape quickly. Be- cause of the bad weather at the beginning of the season, for the most part the early victories will go to the teams with the most veterans. The Trojans looked good in their opener, however, as captain Don Ethridge led the boys to an 84-25 win over River Rouge. slr? row: Gene Clute, Lewis Cross. Carl Elsenhauer, Bill Heck. Arden Krug.
