SWIMMING Happy voices echo gaily, the rainbow-colored balls skim over the water, and red, green, and blue-capped heads bob over the sparkling green waves, as the students gather in the swimming pool to enjoy the free hours of recreation. Among the contests which stimulated their enthusiasm was a Marathon conducted by Aliss Magnuson, with attractive gold and crimson emblems for the winners. Fifteen emblems were awarded, Elaine Krambles and Pauline Duzeski ranking first. Candidates for membership in the Terrapin Club directed their efforts to perfecting strokes and stunts for the tryouts in February. Others executed graceful dives, soaring high into the air, and then slipping down into the green depths, with scarcely a ripple, their shadowy figures moving like sea nymphs beneath the water. The new courses in fancy diving and life-saving in the second semester gave opportunity to the more advanced swimmers to develop their ability. The life saving class met every Monday at three o'clock. The hour was brim full of hard but fascinating work, and at the end of the semester the merit badges given to those who successfully passed the rigid Red Cross examination fully repaid them for the long hours of practice devoted to rescuing, breaking holds, carrying, and administering resuscitation. Front dives, back dives, swan dives, jack-knife dives all were attempted by the members of the fancy diving class on Wednesdays at three o'clock, and many students achieved a high degree of perfection in performing each one.

SWIMMING That swimming at Mundelein College is a major interest is evidenced by the existence of not one, but two clubs for swimmers. The Senior Terrapin requires expert execution of a wide variety of strokes and dives, and is the goal toward which every swimmer strives. The officers of the group are: Elaine Krambles, president; Alary Jane Sullivan, vice-president; and Alarion Siffermann, secretary-treasurer. The second club is the Terrapin Junior, little sister to Terrapin Club. Membership in this group is obtained only by passing severe entrance tests in swimming. The tests are similar to those of the senior group, except that the requirements are fewer in number. The purpose of Terrapin Junior is to augment the activities of Terrapin Senior in the latter's endeavor to stimulate interest in swimming, and to set up standards of excellence in this most fascinating of sports. Terrapin Junior is especially able to perform this function, for its members are constantly trying to increase their swimming ability in order to gain the coveted entry into Terrapin Senior. Its officers are: Ruth Tangney, president; Rosemary Guinivan, vice-president; and Helen Ryan, secretary-treasurer. Although the clubs are organized separately, they are closely allied, since the vice-president of the senior club is adviser to the junior. In this manner, close unity is obtained and good fellowship among all the swimmers results. Terrapin Junior has taken an important part in swimming activities this year. Its members were on the list of Alarathon swimmers, as well as on the list of contestants in the first swimming meet at Alundelein College. They also took prominent parts in the water carnival, on May 6. The swimming pool, with its soft lights, glistening water, and pale green walls decorated with grotesque figures of crabs, porpoises, and terrapins, is particularly inviting after long hours of study, and one feels delightfully refreshed and exhalirated after taking advantage of the beneficial means of exercise and recreation it offers.
