many WOMEN
At T''Y" EVENT
Splendid Pogram is Given by
Various Glasses Under Di-
rection Physical Directors

Nearly 500 women and girls
thronged the Y. NJ. c. a. last night,
the night for women and girls at
the "Y," to view the splendid pro-
gram of events presented by the
various classes under the supervi-
sion of the directors, Miss Robertson
and Miss Reichardt. In this one
short evening more was accomplish
ed in a material way not only for
the future of the Wednesdays at the
Y. NJ. c. A. but for the future pos
sibilities for a Y. w. G. A. than any
lecture or campaign might do in an
entire week.
Shortly after 1880 o'clock the Z
and o'clock classes began the
events with marching exercises sand
aesthetic dancing under the direc-
tion of Miss Reichardt and this was
followed by a wand drill, executed
by the morning and 5 o'clock class
es led by Miss Robertson. The
younger girls from the grammar
and high schools showed up in
splendid form in the pyramid for
nations, tumbling exercises and
dances which they cleverly executed
as a part of the program
A volley ball game was the inter-
esting and concluding fact of the
events in the gymnasium. This
game between the morning class
and the o'clock class resulted in a
win for the o'clock class to the
tune of IL to 10 although the morn
ing class were in the lead in the
early part of the game. Mrs. Schuy-
Ter Pew, Mrs. Max Fucker, Mrs.
ham, Mrs. William Pemberton and
Mrs. Jesse Seaman were ,the oppo-
nents of the morning class team
against Misses Elizabeth Nebel,
Louise Eth, May Tozer. Sybil Nc
Connell, Mildred Bitzthum and Mrs.
Ethel Grof, of the 5 o'clock class.
The ledge around the pool would
scarcely hold the crowd which, after
the series of events in the gymna-
stun, adjourned to the pool for the
races and diving contests. Miss
Margaret Counihan took first place
in the Junior twenty yard dash,
Miss Helen Kehrer second and Miss
E~elyn Silber third, while in the
senior twenty yard dash the first,
second and third honors went to
Miss Lillian Byork, Miss Evelyn
Nickenig and Miss Eleanor Brogger
respectively.
A number of the women of the
morning class tried for first place
in form in the side stroke. Here
Mrs. Merrill Mosher took first place
and Mrs. Walter II. War; second.
The umbrella race, which consisted
of swimmers clasping the handle of
an open umbrella and swimming the
length of the pool without touching
the upper part in the water, fur
nished amusement as well as inter-
est and in the three heats run off,
Miss Cora Du Bois, Miss Evelyn
Nickenig and Miss Hattie Dehlmel
took first place. Only three of the
senior girls entered into the diving
contest, the conclusive feature of
the program. Miss Lillian Byork
took first place with as points, Miss
Eleanor Brogger second with 40,
Miss Cora DuBoios also deserved
credit for her form, but she lost out
to the others because of the lack of
grace in her approach.
Although none of these events
were presented as exhibitions of ex-
ceptional clever skill but merely as
a program to show the girls pres
ent,, as n-members, the value of
these classes and the necessity of a
faithful attendance, many of the
feats were clever exhibits and all
were a remarkable improvement
over the performances at tn opening
of the ''Y" one day week to the
women and girls of the city last
October.
