In "Gyr," Class
<tou1o,,ro NJ nY'

A new attendance record In local
gymnasium attendance, and possibly a
record in the state, was set during the
month of February at the local Y. NJ,
C. A., when total of 1927 men and
boys attended classes of various ma
lures during the month, Director Gil
man said this morning that this total
exceeded any that he had ever had in
any Of his classes, either here or in any
other city.
There We're 1t6 sessions Of twenty
nine classes held during February, and
the record is all the more remarkable
when It Is taken into consideration that
February Is the shortest month. and
that several of the classes did not meet
as often as they generally do. In Jan
uary Marshaltlown led the state in at
tendance, with a total of $500, and
there is every reason to believe that
such a record will again be established
this month.
