Ooh! kind of low, wasn't it? . . . quit the waltz time, chump, this isn't a dancing party . . . He's up, he's down, or am I wrong? Highlighted this year by some splendid boxing bouts, the boys' gym exhibition again proved itself a wonderful success. As usual the boxing matches, some of which might more rightfully be called slug fests, appealed to the brute instinct of the crowd and really stole the performance. This year, the main attraction of the eve- ning was a demonstration to the audience of an actual phys ed class. Under the supervision of Instructor Ioseph Guerrera a group of huskies slaved away on the paral- lel bars and flying rings, performing many difficult routines to awe the crowd. In the new column of this portion of the show were demonstrations on the Swedish vault- ing box and bar-bells. The wild capers of clowns, Kollenkark and Coates, caused gales of laughter to break from the audience. The tumbling exhibition as always produced alternately many thrills and laughs for audience. After the performance dancing was held and the crowd responded to the music of their favorite orchestras, courtesy of R. C. A., to conclude a truly wonderful evening. Grand Finale at Girls' Gym Exhibition Count, 1-2-3-4, right wheel . . . Hold that pivot . . . Come on, girls, dress it up . . . Let's make it look good . . A riot of colorful uniforms, the girls' gym exhibit scored a triumphant success this year. The gymnasium, filled to the overflow- ing with hundreds of spectators who had come to see the B'Ville beauties strut their stuff, resounded with shouts, cat-calls, and whistling as girls from the seventh grade to senior high went through the snappy drills which marked this great extravaganza. Highlights of the evening were a tango, danced by four of the local hep-cats , and a Krazy-Kat routine put on by the seventh graders. Under the careful direction of Miss Mae Forrest, physical education instructress, the affair was an exhibition of precision at its best. Music for the event was furnished by a portion of the academy orchestra. Yes you've guessed it, that was the Connecticut March they were playing. A fitting climax to a great evening was the grand finale. This consisted of a return appearance before their audience of all the girls taking part, interspersed with an im- pressive presentation of the colors. After the pledging of allegiance to the flag, the entire audience joined in with the chorus to nearly raise the roof with the singing of The Sar Spangled Banner.

34049 .Have ludic . This year, although slightly handicapped by the loss of so many of the regulars , the orchestra be- gan Monday night rehearsals as usual. At first things looked and sounded rather dismal, but before the end of the year, with a great deal of effort on the part of Miss Roth and Mr. Silvio, everything took on a more cheerful aspect. The Annual Concert held May 19, and the Music Festival in Syracuse, May 24, were the main objec- tives, but they also played for Prize Speaking, P. T. A., and other events during the year, not to mention assembly programs every Wednesday- but then, how could we forget those? Whoops-almost forgot! Today is Tuesday and fifth period means Glee Club! This year, every Tuesday and Thursday after- noon at l o'clock has found the Glee Club warbling under the leadership of Miss Roth, with Phyllis O'Brien at the piano. The Glee Club sang for their Christmas Cantata, Hope of the World by Schnecker. For the spring concert, the male section starred with Stout Hearted Men, and the whole group sang The Waltz of the Flowers . Yes, many aspir- ing young tenors and coloraturas come out of the Academy's Glee Club! eff: 3119 ogef e
