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.

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.
