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
