— r Gymnasts Have Vaulting Ambitions ' r uring that time of year when gym- - nasts have vaulting ambition, they conipete in numerous events displaying their athletic ability. Including many events such as bars, vault, floor, balance beam, and rings, gymnastics is a difficult sport To participate takes skill and prac- tice This year ' s team exhibited both of these qualities. ' ; The team attends many different meets r ' throughout the year. First semester meets consist of compulsory events that are standard routines. Second semester brings the optional events in which the gymnasts improvise showing their style. The team travels to far away places to compete. This year ' s team traveled to Bryan, Kingwood, and Humble. The team maintained a good attitude after the loss of the coach midway through the season. According to senior gymnast Sonya Weaver, The team went through some hard times, but we learned to work together as a result. Patty Pascavage commented. I en- joyed gymnastics very much, and I wish more people would be involved. The team has improved very much over the last year and has many good freshman prospects, making for a good team in the future.
