Up, up and over

Being a pole vaulter isn't all fun and games. Hard work and determination came into play. So on a wet, dreary afternoon some Coral Gables High students got out to practice the art of sailing over a bar, suspended in midair. Rick Waugh, a Gables sophmore, starts his stretch over the bar. Coach Ken Clark looks on and gives encouragement. After a few misses, Rick gives an extra heave. Photos by FRANK TURSI
