Head Over Heels They jump, they roll, they leap, they tumble, but they don’t fall down! But who are we speaking of? (You ask) lt’s most definitely the “Gymnastics Bunch.” As one ventured into the building that we call the gymnasium, a certain group of athletes could not be unnoticed. Under the talents and leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, gymnastics became a vital part of the athletic curriculum. These students spend endless amounts of time swinging on the parallel bars, leaping onto the balance beam, working out on the pommel horse, and perfecting their most Creative routines. What were these young athletes like? Could they be consldered Mary Lou Ret- ton and Mitch Gaylord “want-a-be’s”? Does it hurt when they hit that bar? Senior Gina Hili commented, “I was in gymnastics my freshman year. I guess you could have called me a raw talent. I wish I would have followed up with gym¬ nastics. After ali, Mary Lou Retton and I are about the same size.” When asked what was so special about gymnastics, junior Tomika Jones com¬ mented, “The class kept me on my toes ... Everyone should take gymnastics. It is something you will not forget.” Could these healthy young athletes be future Olympie medal winners.
