SLU CREW TEAM DEDICATES NEW SHELLS

WADDINGTON -- Two new shells for use by the men's and women's crew 
teams were dedicated recently, at the University's boathouse in 
Waddington, NY, on the St. Lawrence River. In the first photo, above 
left, team captains Freddy Yust '05, of Scottsville, NY, and 
Doug Smith '05, of Brookfield, CT, prepare to pop the corks on
champagne, in order to christen the shells. In the background 
are, from left, Head Crew Coach Nick Hughes, Athletic Director 
Margie Strait and Vice President of the University and Dean of
Academic Affairs Grant Cornwell '79. In the center photo, 
Yust and Smith officially christen the shells "The Shark" and 
"The Kingfisher." In the photo at right, the women's team 
carries one of the new shells on its way to the river for its
maiden voyage. Purchase of the shells was made possible by 
gifts from anonymous donors in the Class of 1977 and the Class 
of 1979. Photos by University Photographer Tara Freeman -- click
