On your mark, gol Grab those ankles! Swimming leam This year's swimming team came through with six wins and one loss. Mr. Oyama, the likable swimming coach, said this team was among the very best he had ever coached. The team did a surprisingly good job considering the tact that many members were hit with the flu. They had seven meets, six with Oregon schools and ,one with a California school. The lone out-ot-state school, Shasta Union High School, was de- feated by the score at 45 to 44, During the whole season, the Axemen rolled up 487 points to 236 for their opponents. The swimming team had many stars. Dick Moody and John Gale, the co-captains, placed third in the state in their respective events. Ron l-leddinger, Bob Cross and Jack Pratt also did very well throughout the season Point your toes
