Although the Gymnastic Team lost three meets out of five, the team was dedicated and worked hard. Roxanne Brown, the most valu­ able gymnast placed first seven times, second eight times, and third five times within only five meets. As Coach Helen Sjursen pointed out, “ Roxanne Brown has natural talent for gymnastics and Olympic potential if she pur­ sued gymnastics seriously.’’ Ellen Hicks re­ ceived Coaches Awards because she was an excellent spotter, teacher, competitor, be­ sides being, “ unselfish, cooperative, patient and pleasant. It is rare that a single student has all these important qualities at the same time.’’
