Tarnow AndCyml
Glass Show Here
On Friday Night
Fine Group of Hutchinson
Athletes Entertain More
Than 500 People.

People of the Askov community as
well as several from nearby COM
munities were afforded Friday night
the privilege of seeing thoroughly
trained group of girls and boys from
Hutchinson's schools present pro-
gram of gymnastics which has made
that school famous throughout the
state and the Northwest. The teams,
Is girls and Is boys, are under the
direction of Viggo Tarnow, who has
been physical education director in
the Hutchinson schools for II years.
The routine which the teams went
through for their Askov audience is
known as the Niels Bukh system of
gymnastics and Mr.. Tarnow has per-
sonally studied under that famous
Danish teacher of gymnastics and
originator of the system.
From the more simple rhythmic eX-
ercises to double forward summer
saults and backward flips the teams
took it in stride like professionals and
displayed fine knowledge of group
precision. Many of the pupils had
studied under Mr.. Tarnow for six
years and their technique and phys
ical makeup were certainly admired
by the audience.
The Bukh system of gymnastics is
widely becoming popular in this
country and Mr.. Tarnow has thor
ough knowledge of it and the gift
to pass it on to his pupils.
The Hutchinson folks visit to Askov
was sponsored by the local Parent
Teachers Association.
