Only Advanced Swimmers Elected to Ripplettes ln its third year Ripplettes, North's Girls' swimming association, is continuing to grow in popularity. Membership is limited to twenty girls, therefore the competition is very keen. To qualify for tryouts the girls must be at least sophomores, and they must have one semester of advanced swimming to their credit. The girls competing for membership in Ripplettes must be able to perform the following swim- ming skills: ballet legs, dolphins, porpoises, revolving duets, back surface dives, graceful front dives, rhythmic strokes, waltz crawls, and front crawls. ln addition to these stunts they must be able to swim twenty-two lengths of the pool. Members of the club judge all contest- ants as excellent, good, or fair, and of-fer sug- gestions for improvement. Ripples in Rhythm, the water show which is presented biennally by the Ripplettes with the help of the swimming classes, is the club's most important project. They must practice diligently to synchronize the various acts. .
