Miss Grose has had charge of the work and her genuine interest and enthusiasm combined with her skill and training have made the class a success. On November second the class gave a rehearsal of the fundamental drills, this was appreciated by an interested audience and showed skill with only a few weeks' training. The receipts were used to purchase an equipment of dumb bells and Indian clubs with which to continue work of a more complicated nature. Practices have been held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon through- out the year, ending with the May Day drills which are now taking place of the exercises. This training, besides meaning much to the girls, will insure a higher class entertainment for the pageant and make it a success. '

tight. t,.,e.l1.i. . - - . Tama County Fair Among all our college customs, activities and annual events there is none that arouses keener interest or creates more genuine fun, and at the same time accom- plishes such a worthy object as that of the County Fair. It originated long ago in the Y. W. C. A. as a means to help that association financially. Every year since its beginning it has had an increased acceleration, not only in moneyreturns but in the merriment and royal entertainment given to the public. This year's Fair surpassed those of former years in many Ways but especially in the ingenuity illustrated in the inventions of the different classes. The con- trivances that were rigged up by these money fakirs to fleece the thrifty populace of Toledo and bleed the innocent Freshie of his dad's freely given dollar, deserve a place in history. Monte Carlo has had its day, but it is doubtful Whether it can claim to have disrupted some folks as bad as the County Fair. For many are the broken hearts, the aching sides, and the emptied pocketbooks that are carried away from that scene of gayety. The same variety of dress that has made former years famous was Well rep- resented. All the fashions of the races peculiar to this western continent since the days of Columbus were fearfully illustrated. Indians and negroes added their characteristic colors to the milder shades of the white folks. Dignified Senior girls took another chance to again live their youthful days by garbing themselves in the shortened dresses of the happy past. Freshmen were conspicu- ous in the number of clowns so ably represented by them, as though that vocation were their sole ideal of wit and intellect. The dazzle of color certainly harmonized with the crude, monotonous music so noticeable at fairsg the blare of horns, pipes and siren calls, the yelling of gate keepers inviting the people to see the wonders behind the curtains, and booth keepers crying for the hungry to come and be satisfied, all mingled in the con- glomeration of sound. The memory lingers of the Seniors exhorting the crowd to patronize their bowling alley and try their skill at that pastime. A booth with all that the appetite would need was cared for by the Juniors until the last Weenie had gone the way of all weenies and the last bun had accom- panied it. The Sophomores contributed their commotion and exhausted their vocabularies beseeching the fun seekers to enjoy the sensation of a rush through space on the chute-the-chutes. From another corner of the gym, negro voices bade one welcome in song and there at the Freshman minstrel show you got your money 's worth. The Academy with the aid of an ancient air rifle and a dinner bell did a brisk trade at the shooting gallery. The Toledo City Band robed in gorgeous uniforms to suit the occasion, invaded the sideshows and played for the different attractions, something that at least approached music. Thus for another year the Tama County Fair filled the coffers of the Y. W. C. A. and at the same time made an evening of high entertainment, good Whole- some laughter and genuine amusement. T, MCM.
