On Sunday, February 20, from 9 am. to 7 p.m., there will be a swimming marathon in the pool. The boys' swim team, Aquiana, the girls' swim team, Des Plaines Guard, Warrior timers, and the Des Plaines Park District team will be swimming to raise money to buy a kyroscope (a timing and judging device) for the school. The coaches will also be swimming.

The freshmen came in sixth out of nine schools in the conference. George Erickson '75 came in third for the 50-yard backstroke. Kevin Stoltz '75 came in fifth for the 50-yard butterfly.

The Maine West swim team would like to give special thanks to the timers for the outstanding job they've done this year.
