FINE EXHIBITION
OF GYM CLASSES
Miss Bolles and Her Pupils
Garry Through Successful
Program Last Night

That the annual exhibition of the
Y. w. c. A. gymnasium classes held
in the Chestnut Street Auditorium,
last night, was the finest display of
the sort witnessed in this city in
many years, was the consensus of
opinion reached by spectators last
night after they had seen the gor-
geous spectacle. Much of the sue
cess was due to the untiring efforts
OF Miss Marjorie E. Bolles, physical
director of the Y. w. c. A. whose un-
f1agging zeal and devotion to the
work was reflected in every move
ment of the classes.
In a seat near the rear of the bal
cony sat a woman who has had
years of experience in gymnastic
work in colleges and seminaries. Her
criticism summed up the entire eve
nings work. I've never seen finer
work. she remarked. This has
been an inspiration to me-" And to
all who believe in the principles of
sound health, sound mind and sound
morals, the exhibition was, to bor-
row the critics words, "A source of
inspiration"
The first part of the program, an
exhibition of calisthenics, was really
a revelation. Watching a wee kiddie
swinging her Indian clubs with the
grace of a born athlete, a stout man
remarked mournfully, Gee! I'm
forty and I can't begin to do that"
Everywhere throughout the audi
ence there was much approval of
the splendid work of the smaller
students. The program of the first
part included:
"Dumb-bell Drill" 1919 Business
Girls Glass, Club Girls; Indian
