Junior Water-skiing Champs At celebrated Cypress Gardens, Florida, junior water-skiing championships, with 15-year-old Barbara Cooper and 12-year-old Perry Boswell making record jumps to become pace setters for aquatic American youth. Water ski stunts. Skier jumps using ramp. On shore, male in bathing suit holds up two cards that say "8" and "4" (maybe the skier's score?). Boy in swimsuit climbs out of water, shakes hands with people. Teen girl and adolescent boy shake hands, then the girl rubs boy's head in a playful (patronizing?) older-sister way. (Looks like an image of how girls mature faster than boys -- though they really aren't the same age, apparently.)
