For Skills Clinic
The Girls Gymnastic team is
practicing now in preparation
for a skills clinic on January 1 1
in Medford.
The clinic is a day long
session of gymnastics practice
under the direction of a
well-known gymnast. This year's
coach is Dale Flansas, a former
Olympic competitor in womens"
gymnastic teams.
All gym teams from the
schools in the area attend this
clinic which is designed to teach
new and better techniques in
gymnastics.
Miss Lancy feels the whole
team has a good chance to go to
state this year.
In Order for the team to go

It seems as though the jamboree tonight is going to be a
thriller. All God's creatures will be there. The birds and the
bears and the tornadoes are pitted against the Injuns,
cavemen, and comets. Of course we will emerge victorious
from the ensuing storm.
Around school I have seen one team with white jerseys
that say "Mothers Little Helpers" on the back. What is
their sport?
It is hard to imagine that the motley crew seen jogging
through our crumbling corridors, sweating in their grey
baggies, will some day be sporting the scarlet sweaters
9and matching hats) of the AHS ski Team. On the
mountain, this dedicated group Jives by the two rules laid
down by their leader, Mr. Roger: 1 . To stop blood from
flowing from a wound in the leg, wrap the leg around the
body above the heart. 2. The climate of the Sahara is such
that its inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
