A Hidden Peril
Os Underwater
Swimming
On September 25, 1967, 15-
year-old Roger Munts of Madi
son, Wisconson — considered
an excellent swimmer —
drowned in his high school
swimming pool. At the time,
the death was a mystery as
an autopsy failed to reveal
any useful information, ac
cording to local newspaper
accounts. Several months
later, however, students who
had been swimming with Roger
during the last period of the
day recalled that he had been
practicing stroke improve
ment and underwater swim
ming. Several said that he
was hyperventilating before
going underwater to improve
on his underwater distance
swimming.
Subsequently, the Munts
family and the local school
board issued a statement which
said in part:
“Although the circum
stances will never be fully
known, investigation indicates
that the death of Roger Munts
was probably attributable to
hyperventilation. Hyperventi
lation, when followed by under
water swimming, can result
in a loss of consciousness.
In the late afternoon swim
ming class Roger had been
engaged in repeated deep
breathing in an effort to ex
tend his underwater swim
ming distance.
“Medical studies in 1961
were the first to indicate that
hyperventilation was an ex-

Hyperventilation — in lay
terms — is repeated deep
breathing with the emphasis
on exhaling. It rids the body
of as much carbon dioxide as
possible, even carbon dioxide
reserves, and replaces it with
as much oxygen as possible.
The result may be sudden
loss of consciousness without

to U. S. Navy Captain Jerome

“Unlike experienced swim

Commission would be the first
in the nation to name its
winners,” reported Francis J.
Fritzpatrick, Franklin Mint
vice president.
Fritzpatrick said more than
200 entries were entered in
the Georgia competition.
The winners were selected
by a panel of distinguished
Georgians: Joseph Perrin,
Georgia State University art
department chairman; Gerhard
Bosch, Columbus Museum art
school director; Dr. Kenneth
Coleman, University of
Georgia historian and member
of the Georgia bicentennial
commission; Mrs. Mary’

Orr's design will be used as
the basis for the Georgia

ether, the first Sunday school,
the first orphanage, the
invention of Coca-Cola, the
granting of the vote to
1 8-year-olds, the first
steamship to sail the Atlantic
and the establishment of the
Girl Scouts.
Orr, who was born and
reared in East Point, says he is
now semiretired from the sign
painting occupation he started
in 1929. He recalled he started
drawing when he was
4-years-old. “It’s just a gift.”
His formal art training
consisted of three years of
night art classes at Georgia
Tech during the early ’3os.
“However, things were so
tough back then I had to give it
up. I’m proud I was able to
attend but I kinda wished I
had been able to complete the
course.”
Orr reported that a friend
encouraged him to enter the
Franklin Mint bicentennial
competition. “I put everything
I had into it as, at my age, I
didn’t think I 'd ever have an
opportunity to win another
art contest,” Orr reported.
“I put a lot of thought on
it. Friends gave me ideas and I
read a lot of books on the
history of Georgia. There are
many more ‘firsts’ in Georgia
but I used what I thought
were the best ones.”
