Girl Archers Held Saturday Practices, Tourneys From November to March, Catalina girls met each Saturday morning to master the art of archery. Besides Weekly practicing and hosting an all-Tuc- son high schools meet for fun shooting, Archery Club members participated in the U. of A. tournament on March 16. A week later Trojan archers attended the A.S.U. Archery Tournament in Tempe. Archery competition is divided into three classes. Class A shoots from the 30, 40 and 50 yard lines, Class B shoots from the 20, 30 and 40 yard lines and Class C shoots from the 20 and 30 yard lines. All entries in tournaments compete in a clout shoot-a replica of an enlarged target face that is marked on the ground 80 yards away. Then archers shoot into the sky so that their arrows land within the target area. The clout shoot is scored in the same manner as target archery. According to Miss Emma Cappelluzzo, Archery Club adviser, One of the values of archery is that it enables the individual to compete against himself, and therefore improvement becomes a personal achieve- ment. t If fi 5 :IN Ready, aim, firef' Catalina's girl Robin Hoods practice weekly to keep their aim straight and insure a winning number of bulls-eyes in competition with other Arizona schools. Weightlifters Make Use of Well-Equipped Room One of the largest and most informal clubs at Catalina is the Weightlifting Club. Members are all boys who wish to use one of the best equipped weight rooms in any high school in the United States after school under supervision of one of the advisers. There are three lifts used by the members, the first being the press. In this lift, the barbell is raised to the shoulders and then lifted over-head without bending the knees. The next is the snatch, a lift in which the barbell is raised over-head in one motion by means of a squat or split. The last lift is the clean and jerk, in which the barbell is first raised to the shoulders by a squat and then jerked over-head by using a split. WVeighlifters are classified at Catalina by the total poundage they accumulate in these three lifts and charts posted in the weight room list the totals of all club members. In May, members held an intramural Weightlift- ing meet and also a meet with the U. of A, weight- lifting team. Straining to complete a barbell clean and jerk lift, Bill Rishel works at weight-lifting after school while john Norris watches him.

In addition, the council tried to promote a general feeling of security around Catalina. Because of their sound ideas and efforts, the Tuc- son Civil Defense Agency has praised the council for this yearis Work in the CD affairs. Catalinans were receiving too many driving tickets so Safety Council members undertook a project of placing stop signs at all school ground exits.
