Blair swimming drops to Division II
By Kristina Yang | Feb. 16, 2005, midnight | In Print »
FEB. 12, MONTGOMERY AQUATIC CENTER-- For the last few seasons, the Blair swim team has teetered on the edge between Division I and Division II, its place in the former secured mostly by the strength of its boys' team. After narrowly escaping demotion to Division II at the end of last season after the boys finished fifth and the girls placed sixth at Divisionals (Watkins Mill, with its sixth-place boys and fifth-place girls, went down instead), the Blazers had hoped to avoid demotion once again this year because of an especially strong boys lineup.

Jazz legend Louis Armstrong, also known as Satchmo, was born into poverty in 1901 in New Orleans. He had a rough childhood and was sent to "James Home for Colored Waifs," an institution dedicated to reforming troublesome youth, after he fired a pistol into the air on New Years Eve; he was only 11 years old. While there, Armstrong started playing the cornet in the home's brass band. After about 18 months, Armstrong was released, and he started playing at clubs with his mentor Joe "King" Oliver, one of the first jazz musicians.
