Mr.. Klambt was quite surprised
when little Phyllis johnson asked
permission to use the mats once a
week to keep in condition. While
the mats were out, Gene Montan-
arr and Fritz went through some of
their routines, which finally led up
to daily workouts. Young Phyllis
started to practice hand-stands,
rolls. and 1imbers, and is now
working doubles with Gene and
Fritz. which all leads up to an add
ed attraction for next years exhibi-
ton.
The "Y" tumbling troupe consist
ing of Montanari, Kleiva, Wood and
Klambt will now have a girl, Phyl-
lis Johnson, as the added feature.
Even on the hottest days, the
three are working hard on new
