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.

Doing It On The Weekend LOOK AT WHAT. CHRIS? Chris Keller speeds down the road as he does everyday on his bikeride to be the best. With the academics leaning so heavy on the students here, it is hard to believe that there is time for other things. Being the talented students that they are. our kids have found a way around that prob- lem, and it is cal led a weekend. Some students like to join the recent rcraze, call themselves skatepunks, grab a board, and head off for the streets with a little Black Flag or Dead Kennedys. Others will spend a good amount of money and equip themselves with the latest and the lightest in biking gear. Stili others at Mag- net will go so far as to race cars on the weekends or climb mountains., When asked why he liked to race cars, Tom Fanning grins and says, “lt ' s the only time I get to take the car out for a spin above the speed limit .. . well. without worrying about getting caught anyway.” Not everyone liked to go so fast, Senior Mike Miller confesses that he just started riding bikes a month before school let out, but he is already riding about twenty to thirty miles per day. Whatever they may be doing, our stu¬ dents are always the ones to find new and exciting ways to do it. Pelex n 0 mv v f fc ai luglc ai u)ltPn lui cdunbing.
