Although the gymnasts were rushed to be ready for the new fall season, the girls made a line showing at the District meet which was held at Mitchell. Besides the nine low and high intermediate state qual- ifiers, many beginners received top honors at the District meet. These sophomores and juniors also placed very highly throughout the rest of the season and should pro- vide a strong base for the team next year. In addition to the new season, the team had a new and very experienced coach. Mrs. Cheryl Lovering aided the girls in many local meets and provided leadership for the girls in the statewide meets. ll lil ll iii gi l il l ,- uve ' Posing in her routine, Patty Teague expresses amplitude Displaying steadiness, Patty Haines pauses in splits on the beam -scrwiwasz Keffer, Sue Warsen, Conch Lovering.

Completing an important shot, Cis Haydon wins the match. B Increased interest in the tennis team was very sig- nificant during the season. The girls participated in two weeks of conditioning and one week of challenges before their twelve-meet season, excluding district and state, began. Determining their playing position on the basis of ladder challenges provided the opportunity for all of the members of the twelve-member team to improve or even to move up to one of the top four competing positions. Through long hours of practice and individual instruc- tion, Mrs. Kathy Glasmann, the coach, felt that the girls improved immensely before the season was over. The members learned the importance of playing the best game possible by analyzing their strokes, conserving their strength, and aiming for perfection.
