You should have been at the gym
last night. We had the best time.
1 laughed until I didn't have any
laugh left IN me, and am sure any
one passing q block away could hear
US. Yes. it was the track meet"
that we have been planning. All the
girls wear their gym suits, and there
is something about q gym suit that
makes you feel happy whenever you
put it on; thinking of the good time
you are going to have I guess. The
Honey Moon Express was the first
thing we had. The girls each had a
suit case with coat and hat and
skirt in it. They had to race down to
one end of the rom and open the suit
cases, put on the clothes and run OF
and take them OFF and put them in
the suit case. Then we had one
legged and two-legged races, and a
back to back relay, where two girls
hooked each others elbows and they
stood back to back. You see that
made one girl run forward and the
other backward, and it sure required
team work to win And the high
hurdles, well we put up two benches
and had two girls to Jump over them.
Then we blindfolded them and took
the benches away without them
knowing It and made them jump. /
nearly died laughing seeing them
trying to jump over imaginary
benches. And the Whee1barrow race
one girls hands were the wheels,
and her feet the handles, and another
girl ran her. was in that one. and
got first prize. too. Oh yes, we had
prizes, blue ribbons for first place
and red ribbons for second place.
Then came the biggest eaters race
and after that the highest Jumpers.
In the biggest eaters" each girl who
took part was blindfolded and seated
opposite her partner. Each one had
a bowl or corn flakes a spoon. then
the partners had to feed each other,
and the girls who ate their flakes up
first won. Most of the girls got it
down their middies instead of their
mouths. And the way they went af-
ter each others spoon and missed it
was worth the prize Of two movie
tickets.
never knew girls could jump 50
high as they did last night. Why,
some OF them could jump over g
stick held as high as their waist.
Then we had a twenty-five yard dash,
each girl holding a cup of water filed
to the briTn she couldn't spill a drop
of it, either.
Do you know what the Charlie
Chaplin 'glide" is? You roll a pea
nut along the floor with a toothpick.
We finished up with the first basket
ball game OF the year between the r.
al. G. and the Felicia Clubs. The
girls have already learned to play in
the gymnasium this year. and have
only been practicing for about five
weeks, but they sure can play and
throw baskets.
Then after all we had punch: or
course you are sorry you missed #.
III wouldn't have missed 1t for
lss@..heaps.''' Now join the gym ght
away, and then you won't have TO
miss any OF the good time we hace
up there. MI They are the finest bunch
OF girls. and everyone real sport
for playing. Well I must run along.
III never thought could, until 4 got
to running races in the gym, and now
1T is just as il I had never for gotten
Ito run for about ten years. Why,
