Gymnastics, a New Skill The gymnastics team met with success last year in its first Ama- teur Athletic Union Meet in April. This year the members aimed higher in order to top their previous record. The team, composed of both boys and girls, grew this year with the requirements of moderate skill and a will to work. Each student practiced individually at his weekly work-out, perfecting stunts of co-ordination and strength. In Addition, the girls used the flying rings and balance beam; and the boys performed on the still rings, long horse and high bar. This spring the team again pre- pared for a meet and gave the first performance in Beachwood's annual gymnastics assembly. The group represented Beachwood in official competition. Ed Huber practices A.A.U. routine on the high bar. Sue Mielenz and Sharon Morantz prac- tice for their up coming meet.
