SWIMMING TEAM The swimming team this semester, sad to relate, was no great improvement over its immediate predecessors, and enjoyed only a mediocre competitive season. Captained by Clifford Sager and John Lindquist, the latter one of the finest breast-strokers Townsend Harris has witnessed in many years, the natators were able to capture only a single P.S.A.L. meet, winning from Curtis in its final encounter of the term. However, in en- gagements with the City College Freshmen, Dwight, Franklin, and several other private institutions, the mermen emerged victorious by overwhelming scores. Encouraged by the surprising development of many lower classmen, Coach Counsellor, who recently relieved Mr. Cahn of the coach- ing duties of the squad, has hopes for a bril- liant showing in the next P.S.A.L. season.

ATHLETIC SECTIIDN This past term has finally seen the much heralded turning point in Harris sports. With the elimination of several of our athletic ag- gregations from P.S.A.L. competition, an entirely new policy has been installed. Here- tofore, hopelessly outclassed, we were in- gloriously defeated in every phase of sport- dom. These constant defeats necessitated the removal from League competition of those teams which were unable to maintain com- mendable records. Now that our athletes are competing against opponents nearer our own calibre, we have finished the season with new glory. This movement has awakened Harris to the true realization of its standing. It was the bitter stimulant needed to rouse us from our lethargy. The punishment for failure to win any meets awoke a greater number of stu- dents to answer the call for candidates. It was their aim to try to alleviate this deplor- able state of affairs. It was gratifying to sec Harris start the battle to regain its former prestige in high school sportdom. Thus, with the knowledge that a truly constructive chap- ter has been added to our athletic scroll, we eagerly anticipate future triumphs. page one hundred thirteen Q :Ly 4 t X Xxx ., 1 'NS W if X I 1 XX Ss lx H X ' 'QA QVAVK t : f'
