Anxious for their trip to start, the Marlins say Adios before they leave to go South of the Border. Circus Acts Feature Circus animals appeared in Rare Bird and Ferocious Felines. Capped with flappy ears and long trunks five Marlins splashed into the pool in an elephant- like manner in Elephants. Completing the animal display were the Marlins dressed as performing canines in Poodles. Joined by an 11-member aquatic club, the Cygnets, also sponsored by Mrs. Margaret Swan, the Marlins presented a two-day show in Monterrey. The group were guests of the city and stayed at the Hotel Hol-Rey. Transportation was pro- vided by the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. In the program entitled Hands Across the Border, the swimmers presented It Happened in Monterrey, Tequila, San Antonio Rose, Bossa Nova, and other numbers. Suzanne Luksh and Howard Lurker were featured in the duet Es- pana Cani. Routines which were familiar to the Monterrey and TV audiences were Sac- rifice to the Aztec Gods, and Ritual of Mayan Priests.

Symposium Returns The Marlins held their second college Swim- ming Symposium in March to which aquatic en- thusiasts from Texas colleges and universities were invited.

Those participating were honored with a sup- per and a Folk Dancing exhibition; the girls had a slumber party in the gym while the men were house guests of male Marlms.
