GOLDEN DOLPHINS MADE BIG "SPLASH" AROUND SCHOOL A new organization around the school, pattern– ed after the K.G.'s, is the Golden Dolphins. The club was founded at the beginning of the spring semester and is to swimming what the Knights of the Gridiron is to football. There ore nine charter members, all of whom hove been approved by Coach Feiling. To qual– ify a boy must hove been a member of the team for one season, must show team spirit, drive, the will to win and must contribute more than just his presence to the team. Most of the members belong to the Block L, and con be seen wearing their Golden Dolphin pins on their blocks. Plans for the 'future ore vogue, but the members would like to possibly purchase a movie camera, so that they con watch the films of the meets, and profit from viewing the errors that they mode. IT WAS HARD TO KEEP //TRACK" OF FAST SILVER SPIKERS The Silver Spike Society, sponsored by Coach Barney Wolf, is the track team's equivalent of the Football team's club, the Knights of the Gridiron. Li~e the K.G. club, members of this organization are selected on the basis of team spirit, good sportsmanship and ambition, plus membership on either the cross country or track team for two seasons. Silver Spikes con be distinguished by their small silver spike shoe and their emblem of two hands passing a baton which ore the sym– bols of this society. The main purposes of this group ore to help Mr. Wolf organize the track team and to promote team spirit. The spring team members, who ore all upper division boys, elected Sergio Tores to the office of president. He filled fall term presi– dent Don Belkin's silver shoes. A banquet was held by the club on January 9, 1959, which Mr. Wolf as well as the Silver Spikers and cross country team attended.
