With future Olympics contests in mind, they formed a Gymnastics Club. Immediate plans included the formation of a team for inter-school competition. Members worked diligently each week to bring these goals closer to reality. Advisor Mr. Templin stressed safety at all times. Before each workout all members were required to vvarm up thoroughly with a series of exercises. Activities included work on the parallel bars, side horse, horizontal bars, and trampoline.
