Originality Is Shown
In Swimming Program

TIME members of the Capitol
i Athletic club of girls gave an
original swimming exhibition at TIE
Y. W. L. A. pool last week. which was
very successful. AS each girl who
was to take part ir- the exhibition
was introduced to the audience she
dived from the springboard into the
pool. This was q decidedly effective
method of introducing the contest
ants. Following the introductious.
the different strokes used in sw,
ming were demonstrated.
Another unique feature of he
program was candle race. each
swimmer holding q lighted taper in
her mouth Following this race,
various. trick strokes were demon
stratsd. and one of the girls swan
with her hands and feet tied. A relay
race and a doutle-oar race were the
next two numbers on the program.
Mrs. Dobie Red Cross life saving
examiner. gave an exhibition that
proved to be one Of the most interest
ing and popular numbers on the pro-
gram. She told the audience her idea
of how men first learned to swim
from NECESSITY and how the art was
gradually evolved from this be-
Sihi'hS. iIei tain wax Illustrated
with actual demonstra tions of the
history of swimming. This she fol-
lowed with life-saving methods
using one of the club members as a
victim. and showed all the varieties
of resuscitation.
Then came 50-yard dash. which
was won by Florence SHADING. and
a Chinese relay race. This last num-
ber proved to be the funniest on the
program. the main purpose being to
swim as ridiculously as possible and
splash to the greatest possible ad-
vantage. Fancy and trick diving
numbers completed the program.
The participants included Florence

Winter Birds Shown
With Lumber Exhibit

THE. girls of the Wilson Norma,
l. Training School are a very lively
lot and are always doing some extreme
ly original things. AT present they are
showing a twofold exhibit of winter
birds. their habitats and habits, and of
the lumber trade.
The first exhibit has stuffed speci-
mems of twenty-five varieties OF winter
birds. all divided up according to thei,
particular inclinations for seeds or other
things for diet. 1t would be very anus
ing if the people of the world could be
so divided instead of according to the
localities in which they live. The exhibit
is arranged with an artistic effect as
gestion. incidentally Mrs. Alburtis
called attention to the fact that the
bluebird is distinctly a winter bird and
is not the herald of spring in this part
or the country that it is popularity
thought to be by those who are moi
well versed in the peculiarities OF the
feathered tribes
The rooms where the exhibitions are
shown are both fragrant with the lovely
odorS OF pines and evergreens. MANY of
these specimens We're supplied by the
7. S. Department of Agriculture. par-
ticularly the Georgia pine and the
mosses from along the Mississippi. All
KINDS OF wood that are used in lumber
projects are shown here and the fores-
Try service has lent the school the use
of some splendid little models Of lumber
mills and camps. forest fire exhibits.
and other similar demonstrations that
include all phases of this industry. The
girls themselves have made an exhibit
in sand pile that is realistic and de-
scribes the steps in securing lumber
ready for use by furniture manmfac-
turers and others from the virgin for
ests.
This lumber exhibit Is among the
most ambitious endeavors attempted
year and is decided credit to ,he;r
ingenuity and ability.

Basket Ball Games
Among Tech Classe.

THE basket ball games between
l. the class teams at Mckinley
Manual Training School are be-
ing played off with rather discon-
certing results. The girls on the
sophomore team are leading with the
highest score. So far the senior team
has only played the juniors. The
Junior sophomore game and the
junior-senior game were both close
enough in the score to prove highly
exciting. The junior team was beat
en- both times by a very small score.
In the former of these games the
juniors were defeated with the score
of 1920. In the latter game the
score was 13 to 8.
Following the senior sophomore
game Of this first set. there will be
another entire set Of games between
the teams before the champions are
announced. This second series will
give the sophomores time to strength
en- the weak points in their playing.
and thus acquire a new start which
may lead to victory in the second
series of games.
