Dull-phins Show Talent a11dWell-practice PERFECT form - the result of many weeks' work. LWAYS a popular event, the Doll-phin swim show this year brought record crowds to the Wilson pool. The show's theme, The Great White Way, referred, of course, to New York's famous Broadway, and the girls swam to some of Broadway's biggest musical hits. The annual swim show was held on April 29 and 30, and the apparent ease with which the Wilson rnerrnaids performed was, as always, the result of many, many afternoons of arduous practice in the pool. This year saw a new division inaugurated into Wilson's synchronized swimming organization. This new group, called DOLL-PHINS imerpret ,.L6ura,, in Water ballet. the Pogies, consisted of understudies for Doll-phinhood. Pogies, DOLL-PHINS - Row l 0 E. Westcott, D. McCarty, C. Strayer, M.

1'vi3 gat mf' ml Individual Sports A few hikes were planned so that the girls could bring their lunches and enjoy well-earned meals after reaching their destinations. The remaining two of the six points required for a letter could be earned by whichever of several methods the girl earning her letter chose, she could participate in an extra team sport, in ice or roller skating, in school league bowling, or in swimming. Swimming constituted the most popular of these sports, with ten after-school plunges required for one point. Girls who had previously earned their Iife-saving certificates worked as life guards and received points for this service. The members of Doll-phins who participated in the swim show also received points toward their athletic letters, as did drill team members who performed at games or in the Daffodil Parade.

The Pogies also participated in The Great White Way in the spring. Doll-phins met regularly every Thursday after school for a period of rigorous training which included gym exercises, swimming exercises, and practice in water ballet skills. Both Doll-phins and Pogies found membership strenuous and time- consumingg however, they unanimously agreed that not only did they gain ability and experience in water ballet, but that they also made friends they will remember and value the rest of their lives.
