Mitchell at State Meet Girls who were chosen by Mrs. Kerstin Edgar for the advanced gym class were judged on their ability, cooperation, and attitude. Out of eighty-five girls trying out, thirteen were chosen and added to the twelve who had belonged to the class last year. Members began the year by an all-around perfor- mance in group work with hand apparatus, floor exer- cise routines, vaulting, uneven parallel bars, and the balance beam. They then specialized in the areas in which they were most interested and skilled. Demonstrations, given during basketball half-time shows, were a prelude to the District, State and A.A.U. meets. The University of Colorado at Boulder extended an invitation to these girls to give a'ball gymnastics performance in December. For the girls' advanced gym class and its instruc- tor, the year was filled with excitement, despair, work, competition, and the joy that came when they mas- tered a difficult routine. They learned that top physical condition was rewarding and that determination was always the most important attiude. POSING ON THE beam, Cathy Hanson combines the ability and atti- tude so necessary to the completion of a routine. SKlLL AND GRACE are displayed by Liz Canfield as she demonstrates her gymnastic ability in.this beautiful stag leap. AT THE TOP of the uneven parallel bars, senior ludy Rodas begins a sole-circle dismount that will end her routine.
