GYM. OPENING WAS
NEATLY CARRIED OUT

The opening of the gym. last Fri
day night was attended by about fifty
people. The ladies had been at work
and had nicely decorated the hall in
autumn colors, the yellow predominat
ing in the large punches Of golden
glow brought in.
The program was a little late Of
starting, and the Columbia grapha-
nola was kept busy. President Nichols
announced the program, which in
,cluded the splendid rendition of q se-
lection from "The LITTLE Minister"
by Miss Emily Brown, addresses on
"Organization," by w. r. Whitver,
Instruction" by Rev. F. C. Oliver,
and Benefits" by Harold Solem. The
latter address was especially good,
and was worthy of a much larger au-
dience.
Stunts were indulged in which Gre
ated considerable amusement, and re-
freshments of ice cream and cookies
rounded out an evening of pleasure.
| The gymnasium is being equipped
rapidly as the gathering of funds will
permit. Nothing in the city offers the
health-giving, clean amusement as &
good gymnasium. The expense is
small. Will you help?
