Swinging through their routine indoors and out during football and basketball half-times, the group, 35 strong, proved their skill at the YMCA Com- pulsory Gymnastics meet on Febru- ary 17. Facing stiff competition, the ner, Pat Long, Susan English and Ellen Ward took five first places-to seize title in the first of four meets.

Under the watchful eye of Miss Helen Cook the girls competed in anticipation of the awards banquet at the end of the year. Steve Brodie sings The ,World Turned Upside Down at the Northwood show.
