Timothy Bohl Mark Borcherding Shawn Bowman Robert Bowsher Stroke .. . Stroke . . . Senior Jim Gripp claims his life is based around swimming and you have to believe him when you see how much time he spends in and around the water. Jim was a senior co-captain of the boys’ swim team and at the same time a member of the Rock Island Y.M.C.A. swim team. Jim spent his gym periods sharing his swimming skills with gym stu¬ dents learning to swim. Between Rocky and the Y Jim spends over 25 hours a week in the pool. Those hours don’t in¬ clude the many others that he puts in as a lifeguard at the Y and Aqualetic Club. Jim has been swimming since he was four years old. When asked if he ever got tired of swimming he said jokingly, “yes, at 6:30 A.M. every morning.’’ Relaxing on the diving board, Jim Gripp takes a break from practice. Stephanie Bragg 1 Seniors 29
