Head Start Gymnast Sheri Gerardo practices her routine on the balance beam. Because the gymnastics team is only open to high schoolers, girls in the seventh and eighth grades who wished to participate in com- petitive gymnastics had to wait one or two years. To remedy this problem, the Intermediate Gym- nastics Team was founded by Mrs. Linda Holman, who let these in- terested girls come together and form a team of exhibition gym- nasts preparing for their chance at high school competition. These girls praticed their skills in tumbl- ing, balance beam, and other demanding gymnastic routines and performed for large audiences, always to a warm reception. This preliminary training gave the girls a head start on the high school ranks. INTERMEDIATE GYMNASTICS: Sponsor: Linda Holman. Assistant Coaches: Patty Crawford.

Colors Once a week, Intermediate girls could be seen wearing purple and gold uniforms over white blouses. These spirited uniforms signified that the girl wearing these colors belonged to either the seventh or eighth grade drill team . To have the honor of being on the team , the applicant tried out in front of a panel of judges and was rated on poise, timing and grace. The seventh and eighth graders who were accepted wore their uniforms proudly while they both practiced and cheered at pep rallies and sporting events for their school, their class, and, of course, their colors.

Imaaine CONFLICT SIMULATIONS CLUB: Sponsor: Dick Lisi. Pres: Joe Jurinski, V. Pres.: An- drew Frie, Sec.-Treas.: Keith Czelusniak. Members: Bryan Baldwin. Roel Cuejilo, Jay Gruendi. Ken Holtz, Mike Jurinski, Chris Lerche, Carter Rodgers. Carlos Solaves. From ‘Afrikakorps’ to Dune, any student with an imaginative and creative mind could have found en- joyment in the Conflict Simula- tions Club or the Science Fiction Club. Conquest and victory were the key words for the wargaming enthusiasts of the Conflict Simula- tions Club. This club met every week to promote the playing of wargames and to introduce new players to this hobby. But, the members’ zeal for the games was too strong for just these weekly en- counters, so a tournament was held in the spring for all interested. If a less active, but equally im- aginitive. role was desired, the search ended with the Science Fiction Club. As with their strategy-minded counterpoints, the members of this club sought to acquaint more people with their in- terest and to further the field of science fiction. Among other events, the club held their annual science fiction writing contest to encourage new fans and authors. If other worlds and other times were to be conquered, or merely contemplated, one needed only to join the Conflict Simulations Club or the Science Fiction Club. SCIENCE FICTION CLUB: Sponsor: Rudolph Rumlik. Pres.: Marc Beebe. V. Pres.: Jim Lampton. Members: Tae Im. Neil Keller. Phil Plait. Robert Schafer, Mike Thomas. The results of the day's 'Time Tripper' game are explained by Joe Jurinski. The cover of 'Amazing Stories' and the characters of 'Star Trek' allow Robbie Schafer and Thomas to show their knowledge. 254 Time Out
