Executive Council sparks school spirit Executive Council meets at 12 every Tuesday and Thursday to plan student activities The bridge between the stu- dent body and the Executive Council was gapped last se- mester when council mem- bers made spirit their goal. Headed by ASB President Stan Broder, Executive Coun- cil members set out to achieve this goal through radio, the Valley newspaper and public- ity.

ACTION fcontinuedj Exercises in form With many different sports claiming world's fastest or World's most excitingn titles, gymnas- tics has taken over as the World's most beautiful sports almost without argument. On the Valley College campus, gymnastics can also claim the most improved trophy for 1962. Ray Follosco's gymnasts became the team to beat in the Metro Conference, this coming just one year after they recorded a disappointing 2-7 overall mark, and finished 14th in the state. In an early season prediction, Follosco rated Harbor as the team with the best chance of up- setting Monarch title hopes, but seasonal results showed only Pasadena City College, probably one of the best teams in the country, could top the Lions in dual competition.
