GYMNASTICS Team Scores Well Against Experienced Opponents Although this was Norland,s ftrst year of com- petition in gymnastics, the team fared exceptionally well in the face of stiff competition. Under the di- rection of Coach Greene, athletes were instructed in the various areas of gymnastic competition which included the free exercises, long horse and side horse, tumbling, and parallel bars. High point man was Lee Jones. Specializing in the parallel bars, long horse and free exercises, his season was climaxed by participation in the Dade County Championship Meet. Also represent- ing the Vikings against the county,s best was Ray Octaviano on the parallel bars and side horse. 1964 GYMNASTICS SCOREBOARD 50 . . . . Miami Military . . . . 291 37 . . . . .

TRACK TEAM S prints to Triumph Over Gold Coast Adversaries Undefeated in dual meets last year, the 1964 Track Squad, under the supervision of Coaches Stolk and Varone, held even greater promise for a successful season. For Nick Lore the 1963 track season was exceptionally fruitful, as he set new e school records in the 440 and 880 with times of 50.7 seconds and 2:04 minutes, respectively. Tra- veling t0 the state meet, his efTorts were rewarded by fourth place in the state in the 440. Bolstered t this year by the return of Gil Shearon and Archie Turner, both on hurdles, the squad opened the ,64 season against traditional rival North Miami. 1963 DUAL MEET OPPOSITION Norland Opponent 74 . . .
