After School  -  Gray-Y 

The Gray-Y (boys gymnastics) was a big part of sport and fitness through the 1950's and 60's. Alec McCullough and Stan Hemmings were the main organizers and the groups put on many demonstrations for the community of Mt Beauty.

The High-Y changed its name and vision in about 1954. It was then re-badged as Gray-Y with new rules, and the dress and ceremonies were done away with. Ian White displays the previous senior dress. (Photo supplied by Ian White)
