Girls Compete In Qualifying Meet FOR THE first year at Sag- uaro a girls' gymnastics team has been organized. Twenty- five girls have been practic- ing under the coaching of Miss Sinah Goode for two hours each day after school all spring. They received two third-places and one fifth- place in a play-day hosted by Washington High School. Their activities have been predominantly intramural, but they hoped to have some girls enter the State meet this year. Girls have specialized in floor exercise, balance beam, tumbling, and trampoline. This activity has attracted a great deal of interest from Saguaro girls, and hopes are high for an even better pro- gram next year. .JW GAIL MICHAUP demonstrates her talents on the balance beam. Many long hours of hard work were put in by the girls on the gymnastics team. CATHY THEISEN, one of the many girls who entered gymnastics, is showing her skills on the trampoline as she dries 1 flip.
