SWIMMING Rice swimmers are back in inter-school competition this year after an absence of Three years. Brother Reidy coached and moderated both varsity and freshmen teams. The result was a fairly good squad which showed tremendous promise. The varsity made a weak showing in league competition. They had some individual stars, but lacked team strength. The Freshmen did much better, scoring wins over Power, Loughlin, St. Leonard's and St. John's. At the C.H.S.A.A. Championships, the individual swimmers showed their ability. Rice took home eight medals-more than any other team. The relay team of Por- teus, O'Leary, Karasch and Rogers took second place in the 200-yard freestyle. O'Leary earned a gold medal in the 75- yard medley and set a new meet record doing it. Henry Karasch, Phil Porteus and Doug Mitchell also earned medals. Since all varsity and Frosh swimmers will return next year, Brother Reidy is confident that Rice will be the team to beat in league competition. SOPHOMORE JOE McANDREWS, above, hits the water at attention after completing a nifty one and a half. Varsity was generally outclassed in the diving because of the few on the diving squad. However, since most divers are only first and second year students, the prospects looked good. TWO VERSIONS OF THE SWAN DIVE at right. Junior Mike Occhipinti, above, executes a perfect swan as he appears suspended from the ceiling. Below, Frosh James Dyer is all effort and little form as he tries to imitate Mike. He hit the water in about the some position-nearly bit off his tongue. James improved with practice. DEEP KNEE BENDING to get in shape, swimmers do as much exercise out of the pool as they do in ii. They are: Thomas O'Gara, Paul Moss, Timothy O'l.eary, Philip Porteus, Joseph McAndrews, Douglas Mitchell, John Higgins, Guy Beaudine, James Dyer, and Albert D'Angelo. Team practiced each afternoon and on week- ends. They loved to swim but complained about exercises.
