THE WINNAH AND NEW CHAMPEEN! 8:30 IN THE GYM Boy! Look at that girl dance. Come on, shoot the ball! Comments such as these were heard as gym programs were put on by girls and boys during morning assemblies. The girls sponsored basket- ball games, folk dances, posture and tum- bling skits, while the boys' programs con- sisted of basketball games, parallel bars work and ping pong demonstrations. THE HOE DOWN l Ninety TAPPERS CONCENTRATING TAP TAP One, two, three, four, one, two. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Well it should. Whenever one sees students of the tap club he finds them repeating this expres- sion and stamping their feet to the time. The tap club is an extra curricular ac- tivity under the direction of Miss Parm- ley. Their routine includes military tap, Waltz clogs, horn pipes, soft shoe dances, and buck and Wings.

THE SCENE OF MANY LARK TRIUMPHS THE DANCE EMPHASIZED IN GYM Step close step. Step close step. Well, well the freshmen certainly are taking advantage of the ballroom dancing les- sons given in gym classes. You can't blame them though, can you? They want to be prepared to take their place in the social club next year. One look into the gym during the ex- hibition would show three different types of dancing being presented. Folk, tap, and modern dancing play a prominent part in the girls' half of the exhibition. The folk dancing is given in class and consists of the German, English, Russian. and Austrian folk dances. Both modern and tap dancing are ex- tra curricular activities taught to any student interested. The modern dance group is a selected number of girls whose aim is to give expression to feeling. Each year for the exhibition the girls present something new. This year they rendered a dance orchestration which is a romance by Rubenstein and a nursery rhyme, Ding Dong Bell. The tap club learns military taps, Waltz clogs, horn pipes, and buck and wing dances. Eighty-nine STRIDE AND STRIKE
