The returning swimmers along with many new faces con- tributed to the teams performance. The outstanding captains David Samuels and Harry Raphael led the team. David took first place in his many events and Harry excelled in the backstroke and diving setting a new Newton South diving record of 189 by breaking the old record of 164. Ned Campbell and Chris Madden have been two of the team's most consistent swimmers, and will be helpful to next year's team. Two very devoted team members, Bob Goodman and Ted Leavitt. were also great assets to the team. Bobs main event was the back stroke, where he provided the team with the depth it needed. Ted Leavitt's determination and hard work have shown through in many difficult events. Other fine swimmers this year were promising soph- omores Mike Berwin and Mark Lipoff. Mikes tre- mendous effort paid off as his times consistently im- proved. Seniors David Pill, Pierre Sasson, and Steven Pilivan will be greatly missed next year. The entire team helped South achieve a respectable record in a very difficult league. Though the team lost a few close meets. Newton South often overwhelmed its opponents. David Samuels best described the season and the team spirit by saying, The team work and the members' support for each other are what made this season as much fun as it was. I ,.-. 4 .21

J' Like last year, this year's Newton South Girls' Swim Team had a split record of 5-5. However, this year's losses, unlike last year's, were mere two or three point deficits, which demonstrate the teams vast improve- ment. Coach Bill Grimes said, Having more depth would have helped us get the few extra points to win those close meets. We had some excellent swimmers, but not enough back-up to make the difference. All things con- sidered, we did very well. The team, indeed, did very well. Senior Tri-captains Ruth Berggren, Dierdre Anderson, and Denise Anderson, Iunior Carla Chiaravelotti, and Sophomore Karen Hay- den qualified for the Girls' Interscholastic Regional Swimming Championship. Each of the girls competed in the 200-medley or the 400-freestyle medley. Both of the relay teams set school records, and the 400-freestyle relay qualified for the finals. The following week, Ruth, Dierdre, Denise, and Karen participated in the state championships. They competed in the medley relay and the 400-freestyle relay. Karen competed individually in the 100-yard freestyle and she set a school record of 59.3 in the event. Diving was also a major key for the girls' swim team as Senior Erica Campbell displayed her talent through- out the season. Thus, this productive season was the result of a total team effort. 26 is 'C IP' if . . J . -fit X .. M...
