615132 Qllumet Swimming f ' T IS surprising that a. school like New Utrecht With TES line swimming pool and its modern equipment Sh0111d progress so slowly in the yearly interscholastic swimming tournament. Last year Mr. MacDavitt developed a fine team that lead the league for a number of weeks only to lose it in the final in the last few weeks to Manual and Erasmus. u gf H' Src 'ss , -Q? A L.-5-sbt , '? '-15 I This year the team started out like a whirlwind, in much the same manner as la.st year's COII1blI13Tl0H- The team, led by Captain Arnold Finfer, easily defeated Jamaica and Lane in rapid succession, to assume the leadership. Flushing, however turned the tables on the Green and NVhite in the next meet. Madison, one of the weakest teams in the league provided a sensation by holding Utrecht to a tie, thus relegating the team to a position among the tail-enders. Since Brooklyn Tech and Erasmus completed the season of the Green and White by ad- ministering defeats there is little likelihood of rising above sixth place, this winter. However Manual, Jefferson, and Boy's are still to be met. A victory over Boys is assured while victories over the other two schools is not at all un- likely. If the team does not end up well this season, we must remember that next winter is another year and that Mr. MaeDavitt in time, may convince the swimmers that they are not all wet.

Ciba Qlumer Soccer I i VER since Mr. Yudell has taken charge of soccer the - ji sport has flourished at New Urtrecht. The team turned i1 , in a fairly good record for the past year, finishing second in its division and for a time threatening the leader. The -.fh a gii high lights of the past season were the victories over ? x Erasmus and Boys High, and, in a way, the tie game GD lf! :-3 with Madison. Chepacoff, an all-scholastic selection, Singer, W and Driscoll played well on the defense while Sperling, Schneider, and Withkoivslcy starred on the offense. Captain Emil Cerota was all over the field and proved to be an inspiring leader. Oscar Blumberg proved to be a good manager.

TO ALICE BACK FROM VVONDERLAND I too have slain the flame-eyed J abbcrwack, I too have leaned against the Tumtum tree, I too have heard the sad mock-turtle mock, And laughed at Tweedledum and Tweedledee. I too have laughed and inwardly have wept To see the sun's last rays in the White Knightis eyes, And dreaming dreams within a dream have slept On checkered fields beneath fantastic skies, Oh, Alice, has ever a sunless day made known To you the VVhite Knight as a stray sun beam? The jub-jub Bird, the frumions Bandersnatch, The Jabberwocky, all, a shapeless dream? Twenty-eight Thelma Levine
