Flips entertain half-time cro d The Gymnastics Club ad- ded a new taste to boys' basketball games by rolling out a mat at halftime to per- form for an interested crowd. Twenty guys per- formed tumbling exercises from front summersaults to no- handed back flips. They also expressed their talent on the vault. The girls worked on their skills so that we could also get out there with the guys. The guys did a good job, but we wanted to show what we could do too, stat- ed Lisa Gawrych, junior. The Gymnastics Club met on Tuesdays and Thurs- days after school to work on tumbling, parallel bars, uneven bars, balance beam, vault, and floor exer- cises. The students helped each other by giving critical advice or spotting. Coach Frank Walsh com- mented, l believe that this club helped the students, and they enjoyed it because they came when they were free and felt no pressure from anyone to be the best. They just went out and gave it their all. The club aided many off- season teams. Students liked being able to use the facilities to keep in shape and ready for their up-com- ing season to compete.

Swimmers assist throughout year No, l can't do that. I don't want to put my head in the water. Mommy! These were just a few of the cries made by the chil- dren from ages five to thir- teen that took swimming lessons from students over the summer. Having a summer job as a guard was a good way to make money as well as work with chil- dren, said Kris Lovell, ju- nior. The kids really looked up to you, and it was better than frying hambur- gers. Timers helped both the boys and girls swimming teams. Each lane needed at last two reliable timers. These timers might tell the difference between first and second place which could be less than on hundreth of a second. At conference, the big- gest meet of the season, three timers per lane were used to write down swim- mers' names, take times, and display the times on the boards in each lane. Of- ficials relied on the timers to back-up times in case the computerized touch pads malfunctioned. Conference meets were hectic to time because of the constant rush and pre- ciseness needed. Good tim- ers were needed at such meets, and we did our jobs well, said Tina Bona, ju- nior. Mr. Phil Broum, director of the summer swim program, told his guards to reach out to the children and make them want to leam to swim. The guards took his advice, and it helped them make the kids more willing to leam. Timers and guards, being the same people, leamed to do their jobs well after teaching in the summer and timing during the school year. ..
