fhe flip side The Gymnastics Club has many pur- poses within its active organization. It was designed to improve personal prowess and also to produce benefit shows such as this year ' s Christmas project which was held in West Los Angeles. The club met three mornings a week at 7:00 a.m. under the supervi- sion of Mrs. Ida Mae Crowell. During the early morning sessions students improved their dexterity and worked on new skills. The gymnasts mastered the beam, uneven parallel bars and long horse; these were the main pieces of gymnastic equipment they used when not practicing floor excer- cises. Gymnastics is a serious sport, demanding athletes in top physica condition. Baptist girls met the chal- lenge as they learned to move quickly and gracefully while studying ballet and special free excercise move- ments. These drills benefitted the gymnasts greatly in building strength and creating smooth routines. Mrs. Crowell summarized the year by say- ing, The girls in gymnastics this year have been both willing and enthusias- tic. We enjoyed being mascots for football and are looking forward to more activities next year. 1. A new breed of spider. 2. Point those toes Sande Carter. 3. Alex Johnson gets ready for a flip. 4.

They incorporated excellent pitching with good hitting while practicing hard and playing to win. The whole team showed marked improvement throughout the season as they gained experience and devel- oped their skills. Baptists was in a very competitive league this year. St. Paul provided them with very tough competition, along with Van Nuys Baptist, who gave them some long and grueling games. Outstanding players for the ' 78 sea- son were Greg Goens and Pual Sper. The entire team learned that good atti- tudes, personal ability, teamwork, and a desire to win makes a quality squad of athletes. Junior High baseball also concentrated on refining the funda- mentals of the game and developing the players further for future Senior High competition. .l!« ..L- ' 4t ' ' JR. HIGH BASEBALL 123
