Two nights each week, from November to April, were devoted to gymnasium work, consisting of Swedish Gymnastics and Volley Ball, Wands or Indian Clubs. Such physical exercise has proved both beneficial, after several hours of mental work, and enjoyable, as was manifested by the interest taken in it. Another new feature has been added to the work of the Associa- tion this Spring, that of making a tennis court. And in this the boys, with their brawn and siuewy arms, have been a great help to the girls. Next year some credit is to be given for work in the Physical Culture department, based on attendance and quality of the work.

BASE BALL Owing to the late start in Baseball in M. H. S. this year, the Annual goes to press too early to report any of the games. Never- theless, we are assured of a good team, for with Mr. Torrence as manager and Lyle Ritchie as Captain it is sure to go.
