gymnasium b ass - ™fHE J. T. H. S. Boys ' Gymnasium Class was organized in the fall 111 of 1905 by Prof. Hawkins. Its original purpose was to give an opportunity to the boys of the school, whose greatest need was to take a course in physical culture, some careful exercise; but this year it is open to those who did not enter any other athletics. The class met twice a week during the fall and winter in Room 66. After a few minutes of military drill, exercise was taken both with and without Indian clubs and dumb bells. This lasted about half an hour and was closed by a short run around the room. At the beginning and end of the term, complete measurements were taken, and the results showed what great benefits can be obtain- ed from a small amount of exercise taken regularly. The membership of the class is now limited on account of floor space, but when the school is provided with a large gymnasium more can be accomplished in this line than at present. Many thanks are due Mr. Hawkins for his services in this department Thirty-three .
