GYM SKETCH Irene Haworth , an 18-year-old native of Saska toon went from Ballet to Acrobatics to Gymnasti cs. After seven years of Ballet her teacher introduced her to som e 10-minute acroba ti c classes at the end of each Ballet lesson. Irent began more and more to look forward to the Acrobatic tumbling classes and later joined th e gymnastic club at th e YMCA_ With enthusiastic interest and hard work during practice hours, Irene is now one of the top women gymnasts of Canada. For her gymnastic success, Irene credits Frank Szucs, Phy. Ed. Dir. of the YMCA who coached her for four years. . Her gymnasti c excellence has taken her on tours and competitions of many countries and the family piano is decked with a glittering array of medals, ribbon s and trophies. Besid es the 1962 World Championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia and the Pan Am Gam es in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1963 (where she won a medal for the Balance Beam and placed 4th All-Around) , she has been to En gland, Switzerland , Germany and Trinidad. Irene is in her second year at Southern Illinois University where she and Saskatoon's Gail Daley (Canad ian and USGF National Champ) are members of coach Herb Vogel's Gymnastic team. ACCOLADES Dr. Josef Gohler's report on Germany's contribution to World's Gymnastics Sport 65 magazine. The following is an extract about my good friend Karl Nutzemberge r : " Karl establi shed a gymnastiGs stronghold ten years ago in Toronto, Canada, from which th e German immigrants, Wilhelm Weiler and Richard Kihn, emerged to win illternational fam e. Both were several times Canadian National Champions and were members of th e Canadian Olympic Team. Wilh elm Weil er was elected sportsman number one by the Canadian Sporting Press for two years in succession . Weiler's gymnasti c education as a young man in the Rastatt Cl ub may have helped in this direction." I am sure everyone in the Canadian Gymnasti c fraternity thanks Karl for his efforts in promoting the sport. CANADIANS AT A 1ERICAN SOKOL SLET Twenty Canadian Sokol members entered t he Ameri can Sokol Slet Jun e 25th-27th.
