Nurse Goodbody giving Mr. August a physical during the assembly before the finals. Nurse Goodbody was Sherry Burbank The cartwheel! It would have been bad enough, for me. to be in front of the whole school at an assembly. It would have been even worse if the whole gym started filling with “cartwheel — clap-clap — cartwheel! I would sweat hard, turn red. and hope for the best It has to be a quick decision. If I do it I will probably fall on my butt. If I don’t do it everyone will boo me! Oh no! It never mattered how well you did it. All that mattered was that you tried! There weren’t to many who didn’t do it. Even our principal. Mr. Hurt did one! He ended up on the floor. It was a good try! I thought it was neat that our principal could take time out and make us all laugh! Why did we have the cartwheel tradition? Sophomore Sonia Harms thought. Because people like to make fools out of their friends. To allow the teachers to show their spirit. Junior, Nolan Gerber thought. Liz Dawson said, I don’t know why it got started but it has continued as a symbol of school spirit.” Also Doug Akin replied. ”1 don’t know, something different, something the old fogies made up. I guess. When he was asked why the tradition got started. Standing next to Mr. Lyell. Mr. Betschart said, Because there are fat. old men like us that can't do them.” Whatever the reason for the cartwheel, it’s fun. Something the whole school gets into and can have fun with! Wouldn’t it be strange without the cartwheel? By Ann Berry
