...week rode five despairing, middle-aged women put aboard by a noisy, demonstrative crowd of friends. In a parlor car on the same train, rode New York's bald, kindly Governor Herbert Lehman, glad to be unnoticed. At his office in Albany, some hours later, he met them face to face. For five hours Mesdames Fanny Zimmerman, Yetta Friedman, Ellen O'Loughlin, Yetta Chaleff, Mary Guariglia sat before him silent and tearless (by advice of counsel).

The picture is sans love...

This year, after two years of League championships and records, Coach Hal Uien and his boys may have to face the inevitable. Of the group of phenomenally fast swimmers captained by Charles G. Hutter '38, only one, Jim Curwen '40, remains. Most of the Old Guard have graduated and Willie Kendall has abandoned college leaving two intercollegiate records behind him.

Only within the grasp of scholastically ineligible Curwen is the possibility of smashing a record in the Hutter story-book fashion...
