Classic dancing class. The members or
each class were indicated by a differ
ence in the tie attached to the collar
Of the gymnasium blouse. one OF tne
events of the occasion was the club
swinging by Miss Edith G. Russell,
keeping time with the music. The
music it may be said in passing, was
furnished by the Wheeler & Wilson
orchestra, which was directed by one
of Miss SIocum's assistants. The Fri
day evening class gave A foil drill
which received much favorable com
ment. Some so or more dancers partl-
cipated in the scarf dance. The dane
ers wore broad bands of colored gauze,
which f1oated in the air, producing
beautiful effects. Another attractive
dance was the American School Dance
entitled. srHow Do You Do" The
games included competitive straddle
ball by the Senior Glass and the Fri
day evening class and relay race by
the Junior class The classic dancing
was a revelation to those who were not
familiar with the work that is being
done in this direction. The military
drill was as nearly perfect as such a
thing can be. The Czardas Hungarian
dance was rapturously greeted. The
dancers wore the Hungarian National
Costume. short gown, little aprons, and
high heeled shiny boots: Next Satur-
day Miss Slo0um will give the closing
reception for her dancing classes and
will q little later go to Europe, not to
return until the autumn.
