1 l Boys Track Team The turn out for the Boys, Track Team showed a general lack of enthusiasm on the part of the student body. With just one veteran, Captain Keith Claxton, Coach De Leon' bravely led his team through the M.A.A.S.S. Open Meet. However, the sea- son served to give experience to the new boys, and next year should bring a greatly improved American School team to the meets. Captain Keith Claxton spears wild boar.

K Girls' Track and Field Early in January, the long, hard training for the Girls' Track Team got underway. The turnout this year was quite large, and competitive spirit was strong. Our girls entered events which ran the gamut from high-jump and broad-jump to foot races of every kind. The encouragement and guidance of Coach Lina Nepomuceno were invaluable and the Team fought its Way to a place in the M.A.A.S.S. League which shows that a very successful year has certainly rewarded the efforts of the group. Susan Jones prepares to heave her discus for a new record.

Rhythmics After months of practice under Coach Lina Nepomuceno, girls from the High and Inter- mediate Schools participated in the tryouts for positions on the Rhythmics Team. Ten girls were chosen, two of them from the Seventh Grade, and the team began the back-breaking routine of daily practice in preparation for the Gymnastic Competition with other schools on March 11. This year's contest program included work- outs on the floor and the high beam freplac- ing last yearls low beamj, and several more advanced tumbling stunts. Very few people realize the skill, precision, and concentration Rhythmics work requires. The members of the Rhythmics Team make a pretty picture as they pose for our photographer in their crisp white uniforms. They are, clockwise, Co-captain Anita Awad, Captain Nancy Howe, Erika Schulz, Mary Vasbinder, Gretchen Schulz, Marcia Florio, Mary Esther, Pat Gerig, Joan Esther, and Lynn Davis.
