Gaining special attention the past year has been the boys' gymnastic class, tutored by Football Coach Don Mietzner. Early meetings were characterized by shyness and silence reigned supreme. This gradually changed. Mr. Mietzner insists that there isn't a boy in the class who is afraid to tackle any physical test that he can dream up. The picture above demonstrates one of the class specialties - pyramid building. Tumb- ling, balancing, and calisthentics are major portions of the course. In most schools the athletes hold the heroes' places. This is not absolutely true in Blue Hill High School. Many a heroic athlete would just as soon not trade places with Dennis Kort in the picture above. This makes for a refreshing atmos- phere in the school.
