of New Zeal and, conquered Everest, t he world's highest mountain, May 29 , 1953. Born in a village high in the Himalayan foothills of northern Nepal, Norgay began mountain-climbing in his youth, and was a c limber with six expeditions attempting the monster mountain before it was conquered. Sixteen men died on the slopes attempting to scale its peaks. In the early days, Norgay fought his way up Nanga, Parbat, Katchnjunga and scores of the hundreds of Himalayan peaks, before the conquest of Everest. On his path through life he became a linguist, learning first his native tongue, Sherpa, then Hindi, Nepalese, Tibetan, the language of Pakistan, French, English, German and Italian. He was decorated with the St. George Medal by the Queen of England, became a lifelong friend of Nehru, late prime minister of India, and met and was acclaimed by both Sir Winston Churchill and President Dwight Eisenhower. "In 1970, Larry Pugsley, of Escondido, met Norgay in Darjeeling, India, and they became friends," the college announcement said. "In July, Norgay along with Pugsley will lead South American and African ventures, guiding 30 travelers through the mountains, rivers and forests of two continents, sponsored by Club Extrordinaires of San Diego. The climber is in California toengage in pre- expedition planning. Other personal appearances being made in the area include programs for the Los Angeles Adventurers Club and the Sierra Club. Norgay said, "I was a young man when many mountains outside of my own country. Among my favorites are the beautiful mountai ns of the Pacific Northwest, where I have climbed Mt. Rainier in Washington and Mt. Hood in Oregon. These mountains are not half the height of Everest, but the view is still magnificent and the thrill of reaching the top comes back."

Diamond dual scheduled with San Bernardino
Mermen take second with Chaffey meet
Dana McManus will try to close the first round of conference play with a victory when Saddleback invades the Palomar diamond Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. San Bernardino's Indians were the latest victims of the Comet pitching staff last Tuesday in a 2-1 Palomar victory. Yesterday the Comets, with a 3-2 conference record, traveled to Riverside for a 2:30 p.m. tilt. This game also marked the beginning of an improved batting attack and a sharp defense. Ace pitcher Dennis Thornbury threw the entire nine innings, allowing just two hits and one unearned run. This brings his ERA to 0. 78 for 50 innings. The Comets got on the board in the in the bottom of the third with one run. Steve Schmidt singled, followed by Greg Sherman with a bunt single. Thornbury helped his own cause with a single. Schmidt scored on a single from Don Johnson. Run number two was set up by Greg Price receiving a walk, advancing to second on a passed ball, and getting to third on a ground out. Schmidt banged another single to bring Price in.
Fresh from a 60-40 victory over Chaffey, the Comet swimmers captured second place in the final Mission Conference standings with a 5-l record. The Palomar-Chaffey meet, determined the second place position with both teams entering with a 4-1 mark. The first place conference spot was taken by the Grossmont squad, which had a perfect 6-0 record. The Chaffey team took an early lead in the March 24 event by placing first in the medley relay and taking first and second in the 1000 yard freestyle. Mike Silvestri captured third place for Palomar with a time of 12:27, a twenty second improvement over his lifetime best. The winning time was 12:09,7. Comets Dave Bender and Glen Thomas raced to first and third places, respectively, in the 200 yard freestyle. In the 50 yard sprint, the Comets took first and second to cut away at the Chaffey lead. Tying up the meet were divers Ken Palmer and Bill Laird who won the diving event. Palmer, the first place diver, had a total of 182.30 points,
while Laird took second with 177.50 points. In the seventh event, the 200 yard butterfly, the Comets took the lead for the first time when Bender finished first with a time of 2:14.5 and Bob Dosek took third with a 2:48.5 t~me. From then on the Comets did not give up their edge. Buck Webster took first in the 100 freestyle, while Mike Burdick annexed a second in the 200 yard backstroke. First and third places were captured in the 500 yard freestyle by Bender and Silvestri with times of 5:36.3 and 6:06,2. Harry Peterson swam to a second place in the 200 yard breaststroke with Laird following him to third. At this point, Palomar was ahead 53-44. The Comets received an automatic seven points in the freestyle relay, since Chaffey did not have a team for that event. The Comets will be swimming today against Southwestern here in a nonconference meet. The contest will begin at 3 p.m.

Four Palomar archers qualify for All-American in meet win Local archers scored a win over Cerritos March 23 and continued their undefeated conference record tie with powerful San Bernardino. Although that pre-Easter foray did not produce spectacular scores, another encounter with Cerritos did provide a learning experience for the fledgling opponent team. Their coach emphasized the meaning of the meet to them when she remarked, "Since they (Palomar archers) are all better than you are, there will be no formal target assignments. Try your best and learn from your experience . . . '' In the individual standings, Bonnie Bass scored an upset on the Palomar women's team when she served Gail Vittitoe her first conference loss. The total point difference between both of them was one point. Bass' final score was 255 and Vittitoe's 254. Both of them had enough points to qualify well above the standards for all-American.

Olympics film set '''Olympia, Part II' is some of the best sports footage ever made," says Film instructor, Dick Peacock. A record of the 1936 Olympics held in Germany, "Part II" covers the gymnastic and aquatic events. Leni Riefenstahl, film maker, was given an unlimited sum of money by Adolph Hitler to film the events. Therefore, the viewer will find that all the German victories are subtly emphasized. "Olympia, Part II" will be shown in P-32 on Wednesday night (April 12) at 7 p.m.

Probably the best thing that ever happened to the Comet swim team was when Mrs. Marrianne Bender decided to move to Encinitas. The results--sophomore ace Dave Bender was eligible to swim with the Comets. Bender has been a swimming star most of his life. "When I was five years old I swam my first meet with the San Diego AAU. I was entered in the 25 meter backstroke. I tied for first with another fellow in the eight and under age group, and was given second place because of a judge's decision." Since then Bender has had no trouble taking first places. He has taken 15 of the last 16 individual events he has been entered in with the Comets.
Tmckmen capture second relay title For the second time in four years, . Coach Doc Marrin's spikers won the Southern California Relays at Golden West by edging out Compton 59-57 1/2, March 30.
"In my first AAU meet I also swam in the 25 meter butterfly and won it, but was disqualified because the officials said I looked like I was doing the freestyle. I learned the butterfly stroke five minutes before the event," said Bender. Since then Bender has sharpened up his butterfly stroke. His best time this season is the second fastest junior college performance in Southern California. Bender prepped at Oceanside High School under Coach William Wagner. He holds records in at least five events there. "I started swimming with Coach Wagner when I was in fifth grade. Competing with the high school kids helped me improve my times." Last year the local ace swam at the University of Arizona on an athletic scholarship. · His coach was Charlie Hikcox, winner of three Olympicmedals. "My workouts were 1400 yards a day, compared to 1000 yards here, The coach at Arizona would push me because I was on a scholarship. If I was out of the dormitory after 8 p.m. they would threaten to take my scholarship away. · It was like a prison. ''I like Palomar better because I am
able to get individual attention from my instructors in all my classes. At Arizona, classes were so large that one class had to be held in the auditorium. On an average most classes are at least 100 to 150 students. It was almost impossible to see the instructor after class," Bender complained. Waiting for his opponents before arecent swim meet, Bender said he. would like to go to any of the California Universities or even Indiana (the top swimming college in the nation), he added, jokingly. The local merman also teaches lifesaving, intermediate and water safety classes at Palomar. ''I would take a swimming coach position if I am given a good one." Bender will resume his position as a lifeguard this summer for the fifth consecutive year at Oceanside. Based on times throughout the season Bender has qualified in the individual medley and 200 yard butterfly for the state meet April 27-29 at Los Angeles. On the Southern California meet level he has qualified for the IM, butterfly and also 1000 yard freestyle April ~ ·20-22, also at LA.

However, the March 24 meet with Chaffey wasn't as successful. The Panther's 18 man team handed the locals their first loss of the season bringing their season record to 7-1. Today the Citrus Owls will be on hand to challenge the locals for another tough 3:30 p.m. meet. The locals will have some advantage since they are running on their home track, but Citrus will still be slightly favored. "There's no doubt about it, they're a very fine team and could very well upset us," commented Marrin. Citrus is strong in the mile with Mike Walker running 4:17.2. Dave Mency is a 9.8 100 man compared to the local's Rich Hunt, another 9. 8 possibility.
Golf team scores wins over Griffins, Owls Griffins and Owls alike fell prey to the Comet golfers recently in Palomar's attempt to take the Mission Conference crown again. The Comets swept thP. cnurse with Grossmont just before Easter vacation with a 54-0 victory. Pete Moren and John McDonald were medalists for the match as a fired-up Palomar team. shot no higher than a 76. Jim Kronus carded a 74; Scott Dunlar and Milt Galik 75s; and John Morris a 76. The Citrus Owls were next on the Comets ' list. Though the match was played at Citrus' home course, the Owls hadn't a hoot of a chance. The local swingers trounced them 46-8 as McDonald medaled again. He was backed up by Moren's and Kronus• 77s; Dunbar's 78; and Galik's and MikeWildman's 79s. The Comets, who are in second place (a half-game behind San Bernardino) will be competing in a non-conference match today against San Diego Mesa.
