Tankmen Break More Than One School Record VARSITY SWIMMING Pool records fell when the '59 MC tankers took to the water. Hours of diligent practice perfecting their swimming skills and team enthusiasm were im- portant assets for the record setting times.

Throughout the season exciting moments filled MC swimming meets and sometimes the winner was not decided until the final relay events. Then team cooperation, spirit, and skill were the factors which made the decision. Constant improvement marked the progress of Coach Reaume's swimming team. Following a slow season's start, the tankers swam to a 8 won, 6 loss record and placed third in the Eastern Michigan League standings.

Nearing the end of the gruelling two mile course, Coach Norman Keehn urges his M.C.H.S. cross-country runners to greater effort as a victory appears within reach. Toeing the mark, Mount Clemens and Berkley High School cross- country runners wait in intense anticipation for the starting gun. It will set them off on the gruelling two-mile course. Harriers Have Better Than Average Season CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING The first meet was held at Memorial Stadium. Coach Norman Keehn's harriers ran the rugged two mile course in outstanding time to take the first four places and beat Ferndale. As the season progressed, the Bathers went down in defeat to Royal Oak Kimball, but bounced back to victory over Port Huron. Preston Bolden's top mark of 10:14 minutes set a new school cross country rec- ord and helped determine the win. Hazel Park and Birmingham proved to be too much for the Bathers. They were toppled by the two E.M.L. opponents. The last two meets of the season saw the Bathers romp over East Detroit and upset Berkley. Excellent performances by team members Dean Carpenter, John Brinker, Preston Bolden and Bob Gillespie captured the wins.
