nnual quatics Show Transforms Pool Into ' Q 9 Mystical Land of UZ 1 Somewhere over the rainbow, there exists a land populated by munchkins, witches, and a wizard. Created by Frank Baum, the land of Oz is believed by many to be a mythical world. But for three nights in April, a glimpse of this land appeared in the Stevenson pool as the Diplo- mats, Stevenson's synchronized swimming team, presented its annual show, based on the Wizard of Oz. Preparation for the show began early in November when experienced members of the Diplomats held a clinic to teach prospective members the required skills. After learning the basic skills of synchronized swimming, the girls were divided into groups to learn the numbers being prepared for presentation at the show. Many of the girls received a chance to participate and perfect their skills by performing in stunt competition at one or more of the several meets that the club par- ticipated in. Some of the girls also demonstrated their routines at the state meet at the end of the year. i i I x Lending each other moral as well as physical Wheeler, and Pam Kloote struggled to close the support, Candy Rankin, Leisa Hatfield, Gail accordion as tightly as possible. Although the absence of her partner made work on their duet impossible, Linda Heusner found that it gave her time to perfect her performance of the stunts in the routine. Synchronized Swimming 117

Dedication, Hard ork Bring Girls, Success It takes determination and interest to play any sport, but it requires real dedication when practices are held at seven o'clock in the morning. Due to the crowded schedule of games and practices in the Stevenson gym, the girls' basketball teams found themselves working out at that early hour. By combining dedication with hard work, they came up with their most successful season ever. While the girls' varsity team did not post a winning record, their play improved greatly. They Won only three games, but three of their losses came by less than three points. The girls often beat schools with more established teams, like Bloomfield Andover. The dedication to the sport also paid off for mem- bers of the JV team. With the aid of Coach Elizabeth Embree, who also handled the varsity squad, the JV's won five of their games, while losing only three.
