Crazy divers, clowns, beautiful ladies, Siamese twins, acrobats, and even circus animals took part in the annual swimming carnival. This event brings more spectators than any other held in the pool. Many girls come out for Life Saving instruc- tion and examination. Every Wednesday after school, instructions in resuscitation. breaks on holds, approaches and carries, floating, tread- ing water, carrying victim from pool, and sur- face diving are given by Miss Schwehn, Miss Smith and Mr. Ivy. Every spring final exam- inations in both Junior and Senior Life Saving are given. Those passing these tests take part in the performance for spectators. which is held late in the spring. The individual and inter-class swimming meets claim the best and fastest swimmers. The winning team in the class meet has its class numerals engraved on the swimming cup, which is kept in the trophy case. Points won by both girls and boys are added to determine the win- ner. The Senior Class, 1931, with its fast swim- mers, Chuck Leuenberger and Marjorie Slack, placed first in the meet for this year. Through much competition and effort of those taking part in the individual meet. the winners were determined. The winners of the girls were: Wiliiia Geisler, Ruth Hans, and Ruth Shreve. There are fifteen swimming classes conducted by Miss Schwehn and Miss Smith. These classes are divided into three groups: The beginners. the intermediate. and the advanced. The beginners have had little or no instruc- tions in swimming. After much encouraging and instruction these beginners actually become friendly toward the water and learn to do the dead man's float and a few of the easier meth- ods of swimming. In the intermediate classes the technique and many particulars of perfect swimming are brought forth. Diving and long distance swimming are stressed in the advanced classes. Many perfect divers and fast swimmers get their first instruc- tions in the beginners division. The favorite sport of the girls is to try to ride Horatio, the rubber pony. So difficult is this animule to ride that only one girl, Lavon Gauert, succeeded in the first two weeks that he breasted the waves. Horatio is the girls' pet, and one Freshman tried to feed him a lump of sugar! Did you emulate the Prince of Wales and get thrown? THE 1931 LEGEND Page 103
