SPIDBTS Dunkers Deliver SPLASH! After five months of pain- staking, perfectionistic practice, the Power mermen have come through to victory. In our Christmas issue we hinted rather broadly that they were not practicing hard enough, so that team's moderator, Brother Lawrence, increased the number of days and times of prac- tice. As a result of the increased effort, they brought a trophy to Power. The Winning On the evening of February 14 at our home pool the KIPS Bay Boys Club Power won the Novice Championship in the Catholic High School League The Bishop Loughlm team was defeated by us by a score of 31 to 30m the final 160 yard relay Account In the 120 yard Medley Relay, silver medals were won by P Holfelder F Ahearn and J Kenny The 40 yard freestyle saw G Gries come through in second place to be awarded a silver medal also while m the 100 yard back stroke P Holfelder came through with his second medal of the night, this one though, was gold for first place In the same event J Carroll placed second to be awarded a silver medal I Gallagher took the 100 yard free style for a gold medal for first place and in the 160 yard Relay we again got first place and a total of four gold medals, won by-I Carroll, G Gries R Stewart and J Gallagher The amazing time clocked 1 27 3 The school compliments the team and its moderator for bringing the swimming season to a close with this splendid v1c tory Trophies On ll ednesday, March 19 the members of the Swimming team were come the stars in a surprise cere mony XX aitmg for the group was Brother Lawrence their moderator and he stood besides a table laden with an assemblage of seven and three quarter inch golden trophies One by one they received their awards, which were inscribed above the golden figure of a swimmer about to dive Power Memorial l952 March 26 1952 mi A MEN- comsa Q 1 valign MNH, riurfxeooo cue! mn mme N 'EJECOND IN THE SENIOR cuAnPloM- SHIP, 100 YD.
