aaf MAHLBURG ' BIESHER l Sylvester Beisher was one of the lettermen back from last year's team. He always placed in his favorite event, the breast stroke, and was a great help to the team in the relays. Charles Mahlburg, captain of the team in 1928, left it this year in order to play basketball. He was able to ,compete in only one meet, in which he managed to place second in the backstroke. Howard Arfstrom divided his time between basketball and swimming. When he was not taking care of the cage equipment for Coach Lundahl, he was in the pool winning points for R. H. S. in the backstroke. Coach Charles Beyer, one of the most consistent pro- ducers of winning teams that Rockford high school has ever had, again put out a winning, though not champ- ionship team. Most of the squad returns next year. ARFSTROM COACH CHARLES A. BEYER WAITING FOR THE GUN v 7 .- one hundred twenty-two

- - .. JONES PAVALAITIS Harry ,Tones was another valuable man to the swim- ming team. Not being a sprinter, he confined himself to fancy diving. In this event he usually gave Zukas a fight for first place. Anton Pavalaitis, a letterman from last year, proved himself to be the best sprint swimmer on the squad. He not only heaped individual honors upon himself, but also helped the Rab team in the relays. Maurice Hartnett was another member who made good on the swimming team this year. Although he was small, he made up in determination what he lacked in size and was a dangerous contender in the breast stroke. Anton Zukas, captain of the Rab tank team, was a most consistent performer. Although he was a sprint star and an expert inthe backstroke, fancy diving was his specialty in which he invariably placed first.
