Bryn
Mawr Fencers Defeat Barnard;
End Of Season Finds Team Unheateri
Gymnasium, March 20.—Bryn
Mawr met Barnard College in the
_ final fencing match of the year and
made a clean sweep of both the
Varsity and Junior Varsity events,
6-3, 5-4, respectively.
. On the Varsity team, Caroline
Morgan won her bouts -three to
nothing, Alicia Gardner lost one
and took two, and Lynn Fain took
one and lost two. Junior Varsity
accomplished the following: Ginger
Mee, won one, lost two; Mary El-
len Klock, won two, lost one; Alice
Baer, won two, lost one.
For the Barnard team, this was
the only fencing match of. the year,
as they do not ordinarily . fence in
competition. As-a result, their first
and second teams were of very
much the same calibre. Because of
this, bryn Mawr’s Junior Varsity
faced a much harder fight than did
tne. Varsity.. They came through,
nowever, very well.
Barnard displayed a variety of
styles, using predominantly the
French, with one fencer using the
italian style employed by.-the -Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania team in
their bouts with Bryn Mawr. A
lunging, vigorous style was noted
in one of the Barnard second team
tencers; Pluskse, which tended té
tie up her opponent, and made her
a dangerous fencer...
With Saturday’s match, Bryn
Mawr made a fine ending to the}
year’s fencing season.
Caroline Morgan Wins
Amateur Match
In Fencing
By Carol. Bradley, ’57
As she was gasping for breath
after a fencing match with Bar-
nard College, I approached Caro-
line Morgan, otherwise known as
“Morgy,” for an interview on her
victory in the Amateur Fencers’
League of America competitions.
The occasion was her winning of
the Opens matches in the Philadel-
phia - Division,
Morgy stared, said, “why inter-
view me?” and proceeded to. an-
swer questions. Turns out that the
reason she entered the Opens this
year is that she had taken first
place in the Novice and Junior

Mr. Read then: gave an account

Some of the best places to refer to
are the Round Room of the Public

Lansdowne, Sloan and their con-

Mr. Read stressed town and
local libraries, and private collec-

personages is a great help.
Mr. Read also stated that the re-

Freshmen Win Interclass Swim Meet
With 37.5 Points; Senior’ Score Close
By Mimi Collins, ’57
The Class of 1957 put aside all
deverance for age and swam their
hardest to capture the annual In-
terclass Swimming Meet with a to-
tal of 37.5 points. Seniors forged
ahead of the Juniors, who racked
up 27 points, to take second place
honors witha grand total of 30.5,
while Sophomores brought up the
‘rear with 19 points. <
The Meet was actually closer
than the score indicates, since both
Freshman and Senior teams took
two firsts and one second place.
Freshmen swam to victory in the
Freestyle Relay and Seniors cop-
ped the medley relay, which tallied
ten points for each class. By tak-
ing first in the backcrawl, ’57 ran
neck and neck with the Seniors
who were blue ribbon winners in
the breaststroke, each thus adding
six points to their respective
scores. A ‘second in the ‘breast-
stroke for the freshmen and a sec-
ond in the freestyle for Seniors,
tied the score at 20-20 going into
the-diving events.
Joan Kuchai won the diving for
the ‘Sophomores with. ease, while
Senior Phoebe Bell, too stubborn
to cede the fight, tied ’57’s Mo
Gibbs with 3.5 points.
Strangely enough, the. deciding
factor of the meet can be consid-| § |
