The crowd filled the bleachers of the
gymnasium to watch the athletics class
of the club give exhibitions of military
marching, Swedish dances, Danish folk
dances, wand drills and Indian club
drills. When the relay race began
the spirit of cheering which infests a
contest floor became manifest even
among dignified club women. Thirty-
two women entered the exhibition
yesterday. The class, which is under
the instructorship of Mrs. Fred C.
Williams, formerly an assistant gym-
nasium teacher at the University of
Nebraska, has met but one hour a
week since the first of October. The
ages of the members vary from
twenty-five to forty. Some of the
work exhibited yesterday was excep-
tionally good and won the applause
not only of club members but of gym-
nasium students who watched the per-
formance.
