Qifyrnriasts Required to Participate in All Events Senior jack Kenan does an iron cross on the still rings. Due to a change in the rules, the gymnaStS Of the State are required to participate in all of the eight events, instead of specializing in one or two of the varied contests. The eight events which the State has chosen include parallel bars, high bar, side horse, vault- ing, free exercise, still rings, tumbling and the trampo- line. Of those, Catalinais varsity gymnasts are ex- pected to excel in the high bar. Senior Jack Kenan promises to be one of the top all-around gymnasts in the State especially in the parallel bars, side horse, and free exercise. Juniors Steffen Monk and John Voss are great assets to the team on the trampoline and the high bar. Coach Ritten- house predicts a good year for Catalina, as the Trojans are expected to take City Championship, and battle it out with Phoenix Union for the State Championship. Senior Bill Strait, the Trojan gymnast manager, also participates. Last year CHS had four wins and three losses, took second in City, losing to Tucson High, and third in State. CHS gymnastic team has but three men on the varsity squad, but next year is expected to increase to five or six. Coach Rittenhouse is now training new men for a future squad.

Bid for Tennis Championship Expecting a great season, Catalina's Varsity Tennis Team has only one loss on the schedule in six games this year. The Trojan racketmen did not find defeat spelled on their schedule for five matches, but upon meeting Tucson High School, last yearis state cham- pions, the picture changed to a defeat. Coach Meenan claims We will defeat them next time this season. The racketmen have practiced and prepared all year to make the ,62 season go down on the records as one of the best in the history of Catalina. Bob Salant, Catalina's top netman, has helped lead the Trojan team to many victories with other high school teams. The CHS tennis squad played twenty-two matches and five tournaments this season. Catalinais Jayvee team has beaten every team it has played so far this season and should come out with a fine record. The freshmen, which have their season in the fall, came through with a four-one season, defeated only by Tucsonis freshmen team. Coach Keith Meenan predicts an excellent season next year because he is losingvery few lettermen through graduation. 7 ' i' I, 'A' T ' le-all -51552 .J it R 3 V :L il ,Q if 2 nr J, V ,Q 4 rn , ' ,4 -:J : gf-,N J- J ,fa It ,af u We-My 1 f i P 5 - i' J Nl, A gag- ' v ,-- ,gniilfgi 'ig 5. .ir . ,, ,. f 5.
