The night before had been spent packing and the day had been spent pondering over the next three days event. The swimming and div- ing team were psyching themselves up for their first pre-season meet at the Univer- sity of Alabama. They had been practicing hard six days a week. The bags were packed, cars were loaded and jobs were made to crack the tension. Sixteen out of 40 swimmers and divers were chosen to go. The few were selected by those posting the best times and best dives and a swimathon was held to pay for expenses. The results of the meet turn- ed out good for both the girls' and boys' team. Out of 36 teams from Mississippi, Ten- nessee, Alabama and Florida, the girls finished fourth and the boys took sixth.
