soa ‘ oe s Robert Goldbaum, Albert Cappella. As the Rhodester went to press, the Baseball Team had played only one game. This was a winning effort against Music and Art. Stalwarts of the team in this game were returning Co-Captains Mark Cooper and Donald Freidel. Both players hit well in this contest. Freidel kept up his high runs-batted-in count, and Cooper's slugging average promises to be high once again. Prospects for the team this year look good. Seniors Mike Kozak, Richard Hess, Rodney Lewis and Arthur Schwab bring needed experience and maturity to the squad. Talented juniors Charley Manzo and Eric Arnson portend well for the future. The Coach and Mr. Miller have scheduled an ex- tensive slate of games, which promises to give the team enough experience to handle all comers. The people involved with the team are very enthusiastic about training, and hope for a most successful season. Gary Michaelson becomes airborne in a desperate attempt to reach home before the throw.

SWIMMING Despite a season record of three wins in eight meets, the Rhodes Swimming Team turned in some outstanding individual performances as well as strong team efforts. The limitations of practice at the Thir- teenth Street Pool as well as constant turn-over in the squad prevented the team from taking final shape as a consistent winner. The team started the year with only three of last year’s lettermen returning; Ronny Nordhauser, Larry Nordhauser, and Robert Siegmann. Larry Nordhauser specializes in the freestyle and the short distance re- lays. Ronny Nordhauser is a backstroker who prefers short distance races. Robert Siegmann is a breast- stroker, who has turned in a most creditable time for the hundred yards. Bob placed in all Rhodes’ meets save one. Co-Captain Chris Jones, who keeps in shape as a lifeguard in the off-season, is by far the most con- sistent winner on the Rhodes squad. In twenty-four events this year, Chris took top honors twenty-three times. Although proficient in every stroke, Chris en- joys the distance races. In his most outstanding per- formance of the year, Chris garnered a meet record in Rhodes’ clash with Fieldstone. Chris has the high- est point total of any Rhodes swimmer. A latecomer to the squad was Vince Armstrong. In his short competitive life, Vince placed first in seven events. Gerry Starr, Rhodes’ only diver, had enough spirit and skill this year to win many points for Rhodes although other schools sent four divers against him. The margin of victory for Rhodes was often the points that Gerry gained in his efforts. An example of this was the Regis meet, where Gerry’s ten points at the end of the meet put Rhodes over the top at 49-45. Not content to be our entire diving contingent, Gerry made a valuable contribution to the team in the backstroke races. Gerry's finesse off the board was so obvious in the Stuyvesant meet that the opposition gave him a standing ovation. Individual stars do not make up a successful team. Carrying the load in continued efforts for Rhodes were such stalwarts as Harry Butcher, Al Cappella, Jim Vallance, Mike Wang and Ron Levine. Assessing the season, Coach Kramer felt that with a little added depth, Rhodes would make a much more successful showing. He looks forward to next year with a great deal of confidence in the many returning Varsity swimmers.
