Fred Ptaender, President of the

liberal patronage and In . few we'll.

on the history Of the movement since

The program was opened with Z

off we're the little boys In their anita.
gonistic exercises and It was certainly
comical to watch them. They we're
deeply interested in their work, and
some showed decidedly combstive and
aggressive dispositions. In the mex,
number this boys class and the first
girls class went thru calisthenlc
exercises, tried out their strength in a
tug Of war and wound up With q
game.
The second boys class did good
work with their short wand exercises,
showed of their ability on the
"bucks' and played . game also.
Tho song ROUNDED by the 2nd girls
Glass WAS something decidedly new. It
Was short and pretty and pleased the
audience very much. The "Juniors''
whose 47th anniversary Was celebrated
that evening were on the program with
three numbers. The long wand exer-
cises we're exceptionally good and
were received with vociferous ap.
plause. One OF the prettiest, il NOT
the PROTEST number on the program
were the free exercises and dancing
steps Of tho ladies' class. The young
ladies developed , grace in their
movements which was truly charming.
The last to make their debut Was the
mems class. The gave an exhibition
Of the iron wand exercises that will be
presented Ut the Denver funniest and
exercises on the horizontal bar, paral-
lei bars and the side horse. Their
work was finished and showed the
effects Of careful training for years.
