Quack Club Members Swim For Pleasure, Performance
University women who belong to the Quack Club might be called bathing beauties who are not afraid to go near the water. The 40 members "get in the swim" every Thursday night in Robinson Gymnasium pool. They swim in the summer too, to keep in practice for the Quack Club.
Many of the members help instruct Red Cross swim programs in their home towns in the summer, and some members are instructors in camps.
Women are pledged to the Quack Club on their merits as swimmers. Members of the club and the instructor sponsor, Miss Ruth Roover, associate professor of physical education, make the selections.
"We use a merit program." Mary Ann Tinkler, Leavenworth senior and president of the club, said. "The first merit award is the Quack Club badge, and the second a small trophy. It requires much practice and skill to win these."
The swimmers must be able to execute certain strokes and diving techniques. After they are pledged to the club, they begin a program of learning more complicated skills.
The club's big event of the year is the annual water show. This year's presentation, "Seeing New York," will be presented Feb. 22, 23, 24 in Robinson.
