GYMNASTICS ... ,,ay umbling Towards Victories by Molly Smith Strong with determination, the Titan gymnast sprinted steadily toward the vault, flinging herself into the air. She completed a perfect front flip and confidently landed with a proud smile. Miss Minius encouraged everyone to try their best and improve in each new prac- tice. commented Christina Collins. HI ad- mire her dedication. Inspired by the guidance of their coach, the gymnastics team excelled in each of their given specialties. They needed a fo- cused eye to compete on the balance beam, and the courage to spring offofa vault. The strength to perform on the parallel bars and dynamic technique during floor exercises was required for ultimate performance. They always managed to express tremen- dous physical skill. Competing proud- ly in their meets, they defeated other schools in their league. During daily practices, each team member guided one another with their routines. They participated in a conditioning pro- gram which consisted of stretching, lift- ing weights, and practicing gymnastic ma- neuvers. lnspired by friendship, they con- stantly improved and achieved tremendous success. Pride swept the season. Tina Neeley stretches in preparation for an upcoming meet. 306 Vorsity ond JV Gymnastics 4...-L. Opponents Vista Mt.

An in- crease in population has encouraged the teachers to find new techniques and ideas to get the students motivated to learn. I have twenty-one students in one class and they ask a slew of questions, explained Mr. Hall. Many of the teachers have stressed partici- pation by the students in the classroom. My teachers have strived to inspire the students to express their opinions in class, stated Joann Schlecht. The extremely positive atti- tude of the teachers greatly influenced the students which brought forth their best ef- forts and allowed them to participate in a positive way.
