The ninth annual gymnastic exhibition, given under the direction of Prof. A. K. Aldinger and associate Miss Margaret M. Bogenrief, in the gymnasium Monday evening was one of the most successful and enjoyable performances ever presented there, and the large audience was delighted. Every number on the lengthly program was executed in a way that merited the applause received. Polka steps by Senior model school girls, Indian clubs by Junior girls, dumb bells by Junior boys, scintillating solo with illuminated clubs by Alfred Armstrong, pyramids, by middle boys, and Aesthetic exercises by senior girls, are worthy of special mention. In the last mentioned number every gesture was the personification of grace, and the various attitudes were adequate in expressing the gamut of human emotions.
No end of time and inexhaustible patience on the part of the instructors and a close application of those participating must have been necessary, in the rendition of such an enjoyable program. The school is certainly to be congratulated on the success of the annual gymnastic exhibition.
