I love te compete, eml, of 'course, I try my best te win, but I don't mind the defeats 'cause Us all In fun. When I was ten years old, I nearly drowned. That frightened mi Inte wlmnilng Icsmjiib and I joined the Turners. I was one of the hundreds of youngsters who watted patiently for the" peel doers te open en Saturday mornings, and eic of the mnny girls who took g)m lessens twice a week. I liked gymnastics, but swimming had a better appeal. I progressed only moderately. A vrar later I web playing with an other girl and we tried te de n double dive I was just getting my balance en her shoulders when Mic slipped. I foil nnd lilt my neck en the diving benrd. I hail te tbc pulled out of the water and my swimming enthusiasm left me. i.i The following summer I went abroad nnd the deep, blue European sea took jny fright from me nnd 1 grew fend of the water again.

Perhaps this year niiether Cozens, another Scott or another Ramsdell will be found among the liw candidates, .
