. . . It's the daring young man on the flying
trapeze . . . and it's happening over at Sisters High
'School. A small Class B school in athletic circles,
Sisters has added a new competitive program in which
only the state's very largest dwell GYMNASTICS. A
recent blurb in one of the Salem papers has an
nounced the addition of the sport at South Salem
High School.
North Eugene and South Eugene have dominated
the not-so-old gymnastics competition in its short
existence in Oregon. ... a good achievement, this
addition, for South Salem, but even a more amazing
effort at little Sisters. Compete? Yes, compete they
will. Sisters Coach Roy Runco wishes to include
Sisters in the full scale of things state-wise. The
Outlaw tumble and gym-men are working hard. This
will be Sisters' first year of actual, formal competition
after two years of dabbling with a tumbling and gym-
WiPJwn nasties club. Runco, basketball coach, has inaugurated
the program and works with his gymnasts when he
isn't coaching his hoop team. The strange thing about
it is . . . three or four of his gym-men are on the
basketball team.
