BY DAN CONWAY
Bouyant as the Whirlie “fish-
men” look this year, hours of de
termination and hard work are the
keys to the teams’ success. Vic-,
tories do not come easy in any
sport, but it can be said swimming
is one of the most thrilling and
“breath-taking” sports of all.
Since a good word is in order
for our Whirlie cagers, certainly,
there should be recognition for the
work Senior’s tankmen have done.
Dan Derby, a senior and captain
of the team, holds the state record
in the 100-yard breaststroke at a
speed of sixty nkie and nine-
tenths seconds. Dan is making
great strides to break his own
record in the Southern Invitation
al Meet which will be held in
Chapel Hill, February 20, of this
year. He’s predicted to be the
most outstanding member of the
Greensboro team this year for also
being an excellent all-round swim
mer. Bill Kesler, another outstand
ing senior, is extremely well vers
ed in diving and is expected to
lead the team in the diving events
this winter.
Jnniors
Lem Walters ,one of four jun
iors on the tank-team hasn’t seen
much action in the water this
year, but he is favored to grasp the
state 400 yard record for free
style by the end of next year.
Skipper Bxurwell, Billy Brooks, and
Joddy Peer, all juniors, took part
in several meets last year, ranking
high in every event. These boys
really look good this year. Their
work this winter will pay off in
indispensable “know-how” next
season.
All of the junior and senior
boys are lettermen. Coach Frank
Bondanella has high hopes for the
sophomores in the coming seasons.
Jim Petty and Ed Oliver represent
the sophs. According to Coach
Bondanella, Petty’s events lie in
the short distance swims (about
50 yards). Oliver’s talents lie in
diving. He’s shaping up and will
give stiff competition in the diving
events in the latter part of the
season.
Participated in Meets
This year GHS’s swimming team
has participated in three out of
five swimming meets scheduled
for this season. The first meet was
with the Carolina Freshmen, Jan
uary 9, the second meet with Page

Park was also called off ,and the
last meet was with Chapel Hill,

ming Schedule remaining this year

meets are held at the Central
YMCA. Attend the last two home
meets.
In every event five out of six

ceive a certain number of points
for the position in which he fin
ishes First place is worth 7 points,
second 5, third 3, ’fourth 2, and

year, for the Medley Relay. Myers
Park of Charlotte tried to beat oim
record in the East Carolina Invi
tational Meet last January 16, but
was not successful.
Hard Workouts
To attain such heights in the art
of swimming, developing tech
nique, and endurance must be un
dertaken and strict health rules
followed. How do these boys do it?
The answer lies in daily, workouts.
Seven a.m. seems to be the break
of dawn to many of us—it is. But
being at the Central YMCA at 7
a.m. is a MUST for these guys.
First, to loosen the leg muscles,
they each kick a quarter of a mile
on a flutter board. Next, a semi-
inflated inner-tube is placed about
each swimmer’s legs so he’ll have
to pull the next quarter mile. The
rest of the workout is followed by
the 400 yard swim the 100 yard
clocked races, the two lap sprints,
and the grand finale when Coach
Bondanella falls into the pool.
