Leading the team in the state meet at McArthur Court on the University of Oregon campus were senior co-cap- tains Dan Tutt and Mike Lyons. Tutt, the only double winner in the meet, took first in all-around and the hori- zontal bar and placed fourth in both long horse and parallel bars. Lyons showed his prowess with first in floor exercise, second in all-around, second in high bar, and eighth in parallel bars. Senior LeRoy Moninger placed second in parallel bars.

Tim Rayley and Tim Pearson, rivals in the side horse throughout the season, tied for second, while sophomore Rick Sikes captured fourth in the horizontal bar and eighth in all-around. Accounting for South's remaining points were senior Spence Kissler who took sixth in still rings and Tim Ferguson who placed fifth in the side horse. A key factor in South's success was Coach Harry johnson. Since his arrival at SEHS in 1961, johnson has coached a state championship team three out of his four years. He has been instrumental in building South's gymnastics pro- gram, as well as in the promotion of the sport on a competitive basis among high schools in Oregon. rsiiy Manager Mark Dickinson, Marc Lehrman, Tony Parker, Kurt Jerry Donaldson, Tim Ferguson, Erik Myrmo, Jack Carler, Bukh Barhalls Coach Harry Johnson Dave Blumensiein, Robbie Paffraih, JV Manager Tim Sirausborger.
