The Lamar swimming teams
brought home two beautiful tro-
phies a couple of weeks ago at
the Gulf Association AAU meet at
the Rice Institute swimming pool.
Both the boys’ and girls’ teams
came out on top with a wide mar-
gin. At a practice meet out at the
high school stadium, the track
team pulled from behind to win
top honors. Next week I’ll have
the results of the Oleander Relays
that were to be held on the night
of the 15th.
At an assembly program the
other day, the 1951 State Cham-
pionship trophy was presented to
the captains of the basketball
team. Also the Junior Chamber of
Commerce presented them with an-
other beautiful trophy for winning
the JCC tournament earlier this
season. Coach Don Longcope com-
mented, “This reminds me of BSC,
before the semester changed.” As
you all know, at midterm the ’skins
lost several of their key players
after winning 20 straight games.
Congratulations to the new offi-
cers of the Lamar National Honor
Society. Burton McMurtry was
elected as the new president, Katie
Hunter as secretary, and Davie
McComb as treasurer.
A bit more Lamar news is about
a “Pink Tea” given in honor of
Cynthia Wheeler and Claire Fon-
taine on March 8th. Seen there
were Jan Marshall, Dee Dee Meek,
Elaine Coffman, Nancy Sullivan,
Ann Strong, Mary Ann Fain, Carol
Ann Stevens, Mimi Ford, Betty
Bowlin, Jan Smith, and Ginger
Kliene.
The Girls’ Chorus of Pershing
put on a concert in the San Jacinto
auditorium last Thursday night.

and their dates met at Kaphan’s
Restaurant for dinner. Some there

Thought for the Day
There are mighty few people
who think what they think they
think.
Three residents of the South-
western section are joining hands
to construct a public swimming
pool at 8510 South Main, behind
their present Gateway Roller Rink.
They are Hamilton Anderson of
506 Bolivar, Bellaire, Myron An-
derson of 4301 Mildred, Bellaire,
and Lester Oldfield of 2532 Sheri-
dan.
The three former AAU swim-
ming stars said that they plan to
have sanitary facilities and tem-
porary bath houses completed in
time for the June 1 opening of the
$100,000 mammoth pool.
The Andersons, who are contrac-
tors, have built about 45 pools.
They said that several Gulf Am-
ateur Athletic Union swimming
meets have been scheduled for the
pool.
The owners also said that future
plans call for the construction of
added athletic facilities, including
volleyball, basketball, handbars,
trampoline and punching bags.
Excavation of the hole for the
pool has already been completed.
