Our guys fought hard, but just didn’t have the manpower to beat Randolph-Macon. However, Richmond Christian School was a different matter. They had roughly the same number of swimmers, so we were expecting a close match. However Fishburne blew them out of the water. We got first place in all but two events, and we swept the breast stroke getting 1st through 4th places. Our guys did a great job and dropped time across the board.

I have seen it all, and in the end, I am proud to say that I found what works for me.

Cadets at Fishburne Military School acknowledged the value of author J. D. Salinger and his introduction of the main character, Holden Caulfield, through The Catcher in the Rye. Fishburne cadets read this novel about a student who is expelled from a private school in Pennsylvania and travels to the village in New York City.
