Help I'm stuck! Ellen Bright. GYNINASTS CREATE ORIGINAL ROUTINES The uneven parallel bars, the ropes, the rings and the horse may look forbidding to a sophomore gym class, but to the Gymnastics Club, they are a unique and satisfying form of physical recreation. Under the skillful coach- ing of Miss Wilber and Mr. Formichella, many of the talented gymnasts at S.P.F.H.S. have participated in this extracurricular activity, per- fecting basic skills and creating original rou- tines on the gymnastic equipment, MODERN DANCE DISPLAYS UNIQUE ART FORM Every Monday night when the school has stood darkened for hours, the gym lights flash on and centered on the floor are 30 figures, spinning, leaping, contracting, and extending -this is Modern Dance. But Modern Dance is not only the outward movementsg it is the inward feelings that motivate these movements as well. For 11 years the group has met to give any interested and eligible students a taste of this art form. The club is sponsored by G.A.C. and advised by Miss Birkins. In May of each year they share their inter- est with fellow students by performing in an assembly. When they have performed their dances and the audience has understood and appreciated them . . . then they have reached their goal! Debbie Brower comes in for a hard landing

LANGUAGE LAB AS SISTANTS MAINTAIN AND REPAIR EQUIPMENT Maintaining and improving the equipment in the language lab has been the job of the Language Lab Assistants Club this year. In its second year of existence, and un- der the advisorship of Mrs. Lar- son, the club has been outstanding in its service to the school. The assistants are divided into two crews: maintenance and re- pair. They assist teachers during lab periods so that they can con- centrate their attention on the stu- dents. All repairs on the desks and headsets are done by the repair crew. SKI CLUB SNOWPLGWS THROUGH ANOTHER YEAR The Ski Club was organized for those students, pros and novices, who have a genuine interest in skiing. This year the club took a series of one day trips to such popular New England resorts as Camel Back and Scotch Valley.

The growing popularity of this winter sport is demonstrated by the enthusiasm of the Ski Club members. L Hi there! Can we be of assistance? Ted Waller, David Borger.
