Ever now before the season has officially started, the regular and auxiliary gynnasiums and the handball courts in the "crows nest are attracting many and it is reasonable to state that the gym will be used more this year than ever before. With the in creased interest in handball two more courts will be needed.
 A sure sign that the training sea son is about to begin, is the daily renewing of memberships, the ever lasting bundle or handbag in the members hands, denoting either a cleaned gym uniform or a new one and a mental and physical attitude of eagerness to get into it and start the season.

Glasses will be conducted in the afternoons and evenings. In the senior division the ages range from IS to 70 years of age, and in the junior division the ages are from 10 10 IT.
 The casses in the senior group will attract men from all walks of life, industrial, professional and bus mess, in the junior division employed and student.
 A great percentage of men and boys who enroll in the various classes will regularly take their training until the end of the spring term knowing that supervised class work secures the best results, others will follow their pet hobbies, some regularly, others now and then, as the spirit moves, each feeling physl- cally and mentally better for the ef- fort
