.J eed and mn are euen tial SWIMMING Skill and co-ordination in the water, such as the Bather swimming siluad has displayed this year, comes only a ter long hours of difficult practice. Such diligent practice is usually re- warded and this ear is no exception. Two school records fell to the relay team of Tom Coulon, Bob Gibson, Bill A bee and Jack Smoot. With a overall year's record not quite as ipod as had been hoped for, the 1956 Tan team must be content to be winners in the less tangible columns of sportsman- ship and co-operation. Coach Charles Nemeth is to be con- gratulated for his fine work in producing a team which will long live in the memories of the students of M. C. H. S., 1955-56.

However, long hours of drill and practice under the able coaching of Robert Lockwood gave the team shape. As each player on the team must rea- lize, no team can always win or be cham- pions. Learning to lose may well be a more important lesson than learning to win. A season's record such as that posted by the Bathers of 1956 teaches both winning and losing as well as teamwork and good sportsmanship. 19 , Lan ' A Xxx . sr' ' Chuck Nicholai 1
