GYMNASTICS Miami-Dade's gyninasts completed a successful cam- paign under the coaching skills of Coach Frank Seco cle Lucena. They began the campaign with an out- standing victory over the University of Florida and completed the season with a Znd Place finish in the South Florida A.A.U. Championships held at the I,F.K. Health Center. The most outstanding member of the squad is Sophomore Neil Starkey.
