Grace of boa' , Beauty of Form, Precision of M ooement Algebra assignments, English compositions, and history outlines equal heavy intellectual exercise but little physical exertion. Eager to remedy this sedentary situation, Miss Romilly McMahon transforms the bleak gym into a calisthenic classroom as foreward rolls, arduous arches, and perfectly executed somersaults blend with standard sports in a uniquely con- tinental athletic program. Irish humor and American muscles join to produce a stronger but sorer student body - a body Whose most agile members claim gold medals at Metropoli- tan Play Days! ,V a 1 5 l One more try - up - anal over! Kathy Brophy and Patricia Cherfoli demonstrate the Australian version of leap frog. Modern gym throws a new light on ancient calisthenics as the current generation tumhles to the tune of the international set. Z Catchy calisthenics are executed lay Ellen Piersante, Liz Graney, Karen Water- zyniak, Rachelle Young, Heather LaRo5e, and Suellen Winstanley. Give me hack my quarter, threatens Sue Kaczor kioldingly as Ann Co-nghlin pleads innocent to all charges made hy her mercenary master. 81

I noigomtea' by Enthusiastic Fans, Bctsketbctllers Bounce to Victory Winter is snowballs and ice-skating, sleigh rides and open fires, warm mittens and knee high boots. Winter is three feet of snow and a shovel, slippery streets and icy sidewalks. Winter is basketball. When one girl sadly shelves her football pennants, another gladly dons her basketball pinnies. As girls in gymsuits put in hours of practice, the gym fills with sounds of rebounding basketballs. The teams drill passing, shooting, and jumping until near perfection shines in even the most difiicult plays. Behind every great team, there is a cheering section. Demure Dominicanites become screaming fans as the Black and Gold bounces onto the courts. Packed with spirit, loyal students bulge the bleachers to shout the varsity on to victory. Rafters ring with D-D-D-O-M . . . as spirit rousing cheerleaders leap, stomp, and shout to spark enthusiasm. When the score is down, they elevate sagging spirits to prove that Dominican is the best of all the rest. Balls bounce on a waxed courtg shrill whistles knife the air, girls shriek victory criesg teams fight to win. This is winter at Dominican. The mouths that move the team-Row 1: Joanne Corrado, Janice Cailotto, Mary Wood, Elizabeth Graney, Donna Krolikowski, Colleen Lundwall, Diane DeConinck, Kathy DeRosiersg Row 2: Chris Iacohs, Mary Herrinton, Carol Reardon, Diane Latchney-instigate vigor that makes victories. Is the marvelous minuet really coming hack into style? The unusual jumphall stance exe- cuted by Cathy Romano and her energetic opponent indicates a possible revival of this dainty dance from Washington's day. Modern misses, with sturdy muscles, might surprise Martha-and themselves-if they dressed in demure colonial styles.
