Gymnasts Were in City's First Legalized Meet f! i F' Catalina's Girls' Gymnastic Club participated in the first legalized girl's gymnastic meet on February 16 at Palo Verde High School. All Tucson high schools were asked to participate with awards going to individual schools. Catalina's team sponsored a variety show. Anybody could enter an act or routine in any type of gym- nastic event or free exercise. Girls in the club sold tickets for the show and donated the money to a worthy cause. Starting meetings in December, the club met every Monday for two hours. The club is a selective one. In order to be eligible, you must qualify in any of four events. These events are trampoline, parallel bars, horse and balance beam. Prospective members practice for a month and then make up and perform a routine of stunts and exercises in one of the four events.
