Coach Burnett has begun his
school wide quest for tumblers
to > participate in the May Day
activities. Physical edu cation
classes have had a few days of
tumbling to find possibilities;
then they will practice during
noon hours for approximately
two weeks before May Day in
order to cultivate the talents of
those who are chosen.
♦ ♦ *
Girls’ physical education classes
have also caught the May Day
bug and have started practicing
for their dances to take place on
that glorious day.
