Not pictured is Elise Car Girls Risk Life o Tumbling Class By LACY BUTLER Crack! - Thud --Boom !-What are these girls doing? Setting up exercises? Uh huh!! They are tumbling!!! Several girls have been begging for instruction in this noble ac tivity. For a while thumbs went down on these requests for several reasons. Someone whispered that the infirmary could not hold all the victims of broken arms and legs from the last class in tumbl ing. Someone else said that an other class turned into a group of rather chubby young ladies who had no interest whatsoever in be coming proficient at gymnastics, but who really desired to take off a little weight. In order to eliminate both of these possibilities, Mrs. Moses, who is the coach, looked "up and down and all around," selecting those not too heavy and not too weak. Would you like to look in for a minute ? Crack! - Thud! - Boom!- You hear again. "Not enough spring", "Get those feet together", "Head under", "This is the way," "No, no, you'll break her neck!" Boom, boom, boom. There they go-- 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on down the line, one after another in forward rolls. 6 DA U 614L MARCU iTIU FoL LO THE CROWDS GET TICKETS NOW FOR NITELY AT 8:3 Prices, McGREGOR'S' rvice Club.
