Prepares for Competition Liz Canfield executes a difficult yogi trick in her free exercise routine. Primary objectives of the girls' gymnastics team this year were to attain skills and to compete in the interschool meets climaxed by the district and state meets. Through the efforts of Mrs. Charleen Colvin and Mrs. Carol Daniels, the state meet was held at Mitchell for the first time. Much of the girls' free time was spent working in the gymnasium under the coaching of Mrs. Daniels because of the departure of Mrs. Kerstin Edgar in December. In the spring the members of the class were chosen on a basis of attitude, ability, and cooperation. The main areas of competition included vaulting on the horse, performing on the balance beam and parallel bars, and creating free exercise routines. Showing her gymnastic ability, Patty Sarter flies into a jump-back straddle on the parallel bars.
