Basketball is a team game and this year, with Miss Garrison as coach, Plaza's girls proved it. They worked well together and really strutted their stuff. After rebuilding the team from last year, the team with Pam Byrd and Sherrie McLaurin as co-captains won 5 games. With the help of Gwen Handke and Judy Maull, Plaza earned its way to fourth place in the regular season and a chance to com- pete in the tournament. With many returning players next year, the team will again compete for the rank of number one. D. Davis, Y. Matthews.

These bars are only part of the equipment used by the Plaza gymnastics team. Along with the vault, floor, and balance beam, the uneven bars are used at all gymnastic meets for both compulsory and optional events. Some of Plaza's out- standing gymnasts were Lori Schaarschmidt and Leigh Warren as All-Around in Compulsory and Optional, Janine Lowery on Bars, Myra Lilley on Beam, and Toni Scarcelli on Floor and Beam. Plaza's gymnasts won four meets and lost two, earning them third place in the city. The team members were greatly helped by their managers Bonnie Barton, Ricky Crescini, Cathi Green and Tami Lackey during practice. The gymnastics team had a very successful year with Lori Schaarschmidt and Leigh Warren compiling over 240 points. Their successes were the result of many long hours spent practicing after school. Let's propose a toast to the gymnastics team. Gymnastics 59
