WEVE HEARD OF BORING CLASSES BEFORE, BUT Dancers in Mrs. Folmer s advanced class warm up before cutting the rug. GETTING HIGH. BRYAN? Bryan Vekovious shows his strength and talent on the gymnastics rings. Are you ready for your Long-Term Workout Stand with your feet a little more than hip distance apart and slightly turned out. Stretch your torso up tali, arms are at your side. Your chest is lifted and shoulders are pressed down. Pull that stomach in now and your weight is slightly forward. Now think of curving your pubic bone up toward your naval; feel how that le ngthens and straightens your back. Your knees may be slightly bent and now lift your head up tali and inhale .. now exhale. Gymnasts, dancers and runners go through a routine like this everytime they get ready for a workout. Performing well on the mat, stage, or track requires a loose and limber body. A person who enters a workout without properly stretching out and warming up can cause serious strain on the muscles. The campus was filled with students who take gymnastics from Mr. and Mrs. Ed- wards. The Edwards are well known throughout the gymnastics field as two of the best coaches. They have even coached United States Olympie Gymnastics Team members. “Mr. and Mrs. Edwards are two of my favorite teachers” said freshman Carol Davis. The dancers at Magnet spend half the period warming up before dancing. The track team also warms up for a while before running. RAISE YOUR HANDS IF YOU RE SURE. Carol Davis and other Magnet gymnists warm up before workmg out on the equipment. 102 • Oh YOUR MARK

This team really knows how to Sock it to Them! Europeans have enjoyed it for years, but it began in Louisiana just this year — varsity soccer. In the past, CABOSA had sponsored non-varsity soccer in Shreveport. Now soccer players can sport a letter jacket as evidence of win- ter participation on the field. In Magnefs division were four other teams, Huntington, Southwood, Byrd and Loyola. The season was divided into regular and regional seasons, each with four games. Our team was coached by 1SG Martino and Pete Nol- ton. Led by Victor Mainiero ' s offensive spearhead and combined with the de¬ fense of MVP David Guariello, Magnet ended the season with a 4-4 record, placing third in the division. The victo- ries included wins over Loyola. Byrd, and Huntington (twice). David Guarriello summed up the sea¬ son: “Our team was better than Loyo- la’s. We came just a bit short-that’s ali. I had fun, though. THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT. The team mem- bers, ranging in height from 6’4 to 5’, include 1SG Martino (coach), Thomas Schutz, David Guarriello. Victor Mainiero, Cari Millender.
