Dancers, Gymnasts Practicing the techniques of Martha Graham, agile Modern Dance Club members limbered up with extension and reac– tion exerci es. At Christmas and again in April, the troupe performed dances accompanied by the chorus. The April program included choreographed routines in such fields as jazz, folk dancing, and ba11et. To raise money for costumes the girls held bakesales. Once a month the club sponsored workshops for non-members who were interested in creative dance. From these girls were selected candidates to try out for member hip by devising an original dance. Expertly e ecuting round-offs, double back flips, and handsprings, members of the Gymkhana Team distinguished themselves in advanced acrobatics. In practices after school, the group, chosen by a panel of teachers for gymnastic ability, investigated more complicated stunts than those studied in class. Gutheil, W. Becker, K. Dorris, K.
