Jennifer Pitney Patrice Mostello JoAnn Magers Jill Lipton GIRLS ' GYMNASTICS The Dayton Gymnastic Team competed against eleven teams this season raising last year ' s total of two wins to an improved record of six wins and six losses. Coach Nancy Dougherty is pleased with the record and the overall improvement in strength and flexibility of the team. By the end of the season almost every member had achieved her full potential, which helped to raise the score considerably. The team ' s original goal was to reach a score of 70 points. They unfortunately missed this goal by 6 10 of a point, but all was not lost for they increased their previous score by 30 points. Dayton ' s most gratifying meet was against Union Catholic. Even though the score of 68.65 was not the highest achieved, the individual performances were at their peak. The Dayton Gymnasts finished their season triumphantly at their last meet against Governor Livingston. The team was victorious with a score of 69.4, their highest score of the season. Five of Dayton ' s gymnasts qualified for the Northern State Sectionals. Sophomores, Barbara Calamusa and Moira Halpin qualified in two events. Barbara competed on the balance beam and the uneven parallel bars, and Moira competed on the balance beam and in floor exercises. Sophomore Denise Francis and freshman Carol Wingard went to the States to compete in vaulting, and another freshman gymnast, Jill Lipton, went to the States for competition on the uneven parallel bars. The Gymnastic Team will lose only two members in June, Jennifer Pitney and Melissa Purkiser. The strength of the team is carried mainly by the freshmen and sophomores, so the outlook for next year appears to be excellent. Coach Dougherty is looking forward to a winning season in 1976!

You Can ' t Take it With You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman November 7 and 8 8:30 PM Halsey Hall YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU is a comedy involving an eccentric family named the Sycamores. The play takes place in the home of Martin Vanderhof (the grandfather) in New York, 1930 ' s. Each member of the family has his own strange hobby: Penny — writing plays, Essie — ballet dancer, Paul — making firecrackers, etc. Alice, Penny and Paul ' s daughter, seems to be the only normal member of the family, for she is a secretary for Kirby and Company. Conflict arises when Alice falls in love with Anthony Kirby Jr. The two families just don ' t seem to mix until the very end of the play when Grandpa, Tony, and Mr. Kirby have a heart to heart talk about life. Alice and Tony plan their wedding and everyone lives happily -ever after. The actors and actresses did a fine job and were rewarded by the responses of both the Friday and Saturday night audiences. Laughs and applause were common for this play and made the hard work worthwhile.
