Jack Halstead casts a critical ' ?'mcz'6oe When the basketballs went back to the storeroom until next season, poles, hurdles, and shots, along with bats and gloves, were trotted out. Spring sports had arrived, and Trona's track teams began running laps, jumping, and hurd- ling. This yearls A team was smaller than last year's and operated on an individual basis. As many as usual showed up in the B division, giving them a good chance to place in the Desert-Inyo League Meet. Though considerably smaller than usual, the C squad was out to prove itself. Two dual meets, one with Burroughs eye. Is the pit really that hard? Or is Bruce trying to hypnotize the bar in place In the background Tommy Wilson and Deril Schmitt are watching how it's done.

Jaw! Six periods a day girls trooped out to the gym to get their exercise along with some whole-hearted fun. Miss Anderson kept about 165 girls busy everyday, five days a week. Learning the steps for the latest in the modern dance or the oldest in folk dancing interested them for weeks. Some liked to take a period of exercis- ing to straighten their posture. The ten- nis courts were frequently filled with excited girls, swinging rackets, and fast- flying balls. After passing, dribbling, and juggling down the court during a fast basketball game, everyone shuffled in hot and tired but ready to try for a win again tomorrow. In volley ball the kids perfected their setting up and their spiking. When the boys were out swing- ing their bats, the girls came along swinging lighter ones. Miss Anderson strove to coordinate class activities with the various sports seasons, While the whole class joined in for group sports, they divided up for individual work such as tennis, badmin- ton, or dancing. Why take a gym class? Besides catch- ing up on the latest gossip, the girls learned games which they could enjoy after graduation. Better posture, more poise, healthier exercise than sitting and suffering through tests, and time to mingle with friends were convincing reasons for coming out and getting in the swing of it.

Don't miss it, they yelled as the eighth graders waged a volley tennis battle. It looks like these girls are really having fun while modern dancing in the foyer.
