HORSEBACK RIDING Horseback riding, the sport so dear to the heart of the G. A. A. girl, was begun this fall. A club was organized with Georgiana Moser as secretary, and on Saturday the girls met down town with Miss Feely, and then went out to the Park Riding Academy where Robinhood, Jessie James, Raven, Top, Dandy, Sapphire, Energy, Cornet, Going Up, and other horses were waiting impatiently to be off. Oh, the thrill of mounting for the first time. After instructions were given in mounting, holding the reins, and sitting in the saddle, the girls were accompanied by escorts to the riding ring at a brisk trot, and learned to post the trot. After the girls became fairly proficient in posting, the club would follow some of the beautiful bridle paths around the lakes and they would return feeling that no sport could be quite as lovely as one which allowed them to mount their favorite horse and to wander out under the trees beside the sparkling waters. Deep breathing exercises did not need to be encouraged here. and what exercise could be more invigorating than posting. The club has beenilreorganized this spring, with many. new .members added to the original number. Aileen Cowley, Margaret. Theis, Sadle Cohen.

A. A., went to all the rooms and gave a cordial invitation to every one to be present at 3:30. The gymnasium, festooned in gay and lovely colors, was the scene of such strange and wonderful sights as to bewilder one. A ferocious monkey, Beppa, from the wilds of Africa, and his master, Spaghettaethen a flowery bower sheltering alluring Hawaiian maidens who sang entrancing melodies to the accompaniment of their ukelelesea booth where one Viewed a lTswimming match, a Abit of old lace and other phenomenaaall these passed in bewilder- ing panorama. A bowling alley where the boys loved to tarry was the next attraction, followed by diminutive clog dancers. darky buck and wing dancers, and an animated marionette, who all kept time to the gay melodies floating from a music box. The Sportive little clowns climbed ropes and did various stunts on the mats. It was not necessary to go to a riding academy to lind an excellent horse, for Spark Plug and others were found galloping about. The last attrac- tion was a movie entitled, uSchool Daysf, featuring Gloria Swanson and Char- lie Chaplin. A great deal of the success of the entertainment was due to the combined efforts of the offlcers, representatives, and members of the G. A. A., who worked so wholeheartedly for the success of the undertaking. 64
