This record, though not extremely impressive, shows that the swimming team fought hard in view of the opposition. These contests brought some excellent individuals to the The Baseball Team spotlight. Moe Davidson has been with the team since he first came to SMA three years ago. Besides being the highest point scorer on the team, Moe is considered one of the more versatile swimmers on the team. Steve Zager is the "Old Man" on the team, having been with it for four years. Many times, Zager has shown his splendid timing and form on the diving board. He was one of the top five point scorers on the team. Don Blank was this year's top back stroker; he made a fine show- ing at all the meets. This was Blank's senior year, and his improve- ment has been constant through each of his three years with the team. "Sheep Herder," as John Grybko is known, is the Tankmen's Ace butterflyer. Grybko joined the team during his second year and has shown his valuable talents many times during the season's competitions Bob Smith was another outstanding swimmer on the team. He has another year to go at SMA and has much to look forward to. The other members of the team, who contributed to its success are: Brad Bethel, Bob Binswanger, Mike Emanuel, "Stony" Jackson, Ned Marion, George Miller, Bill Palmer, Roger Pierce, Lawrence Stuve, and Scott Taylor. "Next year's team," says Coach Dodge, "will have much more ex- perience than this year's team did, and still retain its depth. We should have a power-packed team to celebrate the school's 100th year."

The SMA Sharpshooters practically started from scratch to build up a rifle team for this season. All but two of last year's team had graduated, leaving the team with a deficit of experts. For approximately seven months the team worked hard to better themselves in all respects. Through hard work and a terrific job of coaching by Captain Dover, the team improved tremendously and be- came one of great strength and spirit. Out of nineteen matches fired during the season, the Sharpshooters won nine and lost ten. This record was not up to the standards of last year's team, but one must take into consideration that this year's team was almost completely new. The top shooter for the team this season was its Captain, Ramiro Troconiz. Firing consistently in the first place in all of the matches, Ramiro proved to be the backbone of the entire team. Among his best scores were a 292 out of 300 and a 386 out of 400. Ramiro's grad- uation will be a great loss to the team. One of the most important matches fired this year proved to be the triangular match fired on the SMA range during the last week of January. The two opposing teams were Fork Union and Massa- nutten; this match proved to be a most interesting one. SMA broke even by beating MMA and losing to FUMA. The scores were: FUMA Season Summary Gunn, New 1365, SMA 1332, and MMA 1322.
