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.
