Girls aid in promoting spirit The Wrestlerttes are a group of girls interested in devoting the time and energy to the wrestlers and the meets, defined sponsor Mr. Jarrett Hubbard. The girls played an essen- tial part at home meets by keeping time, scoring, and running the con- cession stand. More importantly the Wrestlerettes attended all meets to promote team spirit and to cheer the wrestlers onto victory. Every Thursday club president Kathy Ful- ton organized meetings to plan the weekend events and to create deco- rations to hang on the Wrestlers lockers to show their support. To fund their various activities and trips to Wrestling meets mem- bers sold Christmas ornaments and key chains. Wrestlerettes also par- ticipated in the Homecoming activi- ties by entering a float in the parade and banner in the spirit contest which merited a second place. The girls also participated in the Sham- rocks for Dystrophy collection orga- nized by the Presidents' Council. Above: Tina Bartolini and Anne McCarthy ' read over the list of Weekend events.

Co-ed bowlers strike up fun Bowling balls rolled and pins wild- ly flew as Mrs. Lydia Coatar's co-ed bowlers chalked up points. On Wednesdays from 3:30-6:00, twenty teams of Thornwood bowlers enliv- ened Glenwood Lanes for enjoy- ment, relaxation, and some friendly competition. Competition was strong, but we enjoyed ourselves at the same time, remarked team member, Richard Deeken. As the season progressed, most of the bowlers raised their averages and increased their skills. The top averaging team fluctuat- ed practically every week, as they strived to attain first place. Team sixteen, Donna Chambliss, George Chambliss, Mike Jones, and .I eff Jones attained first place for the year, with an average of 124. A May banquet concluded the ac- tivities of this year's co-ed bowlers. Besides the winners, every bowler received a trophy to remind them of the good times shared these past seven months, added Mrs. Coatar. Above: Penny Lee adds her special touch as she throws her ball down the alley. Top: Each team selects a scorekeeper who records the scores on a transparency using a special type of pencil. The scores are then projected onto boards above the alleys so any member of a team can check out the scores at a glance. Above Left: Kurt Pottinger and Richard D- eken anxiously wait for Mrs. Coater to tally the scores and determine the top bowlers for the day. BOWLING 75

Every Thursday afternoon at the south end of the fieldhouse, gymnastics enthusiasts practiced difficult stunts as well as persever- ance. Learning new tumbling or a- paratus routines was not always easyg at times it could be quite pain- ful because of a nasty fall or a bad landing. Sponsored by Coach Dick Foerch, i .

Although most stu- dents were members of the gymnas- tics team, Tumbleweeds is open to all students. Tumbleweeds was not a fund rais- ing club. Members join, said one Tumbleweed, to relax and wr 'c out with friends. It's a great way to get away from all the tensions of school. ,.,Myg,g4MW,.. ..,,, ..,1.l , V V it Above: Lynn Tomlinson balances herself in the split position.
