Anyhow, the Whole Outfit · ·Is Decidedly in the Wrong "Hap" Gathercoal blames the office stenographer; says she can't read. The office stenographer talks right back and says it is "Hap's" fault because he can't write. Anyhow because Hap's account of · the basketball game between the Presbyterian II team and the Ridge Avenue Pharmacy team last week was construrd to read, "Presbyterian II (16) , Junior A. C.

From Which It May Be Gathered the Skating Season's Here Again "The first snow flake fell and the telephone began to ring," Director Daniel M. Davis of the Recreation board paraphrased, and co!ltinued, "Came gentle tones over the wtre asking when we're going to have ice skat- Women's Swimming Class to Be Held Three Weeks More Three weeks extension of time has been granted to the members of the women's swimming class at the Evanston Y. M. C. A. The class officially : nded Friday, November 29, but since so many requests for more time were made to the Recreation board, Daniel M. Davis, director of recreation, announces that the class wilt continue to meet until the last of December, 0r until the old Y. M. C. A. building ts torn down. The class meetings are on Wedtiesday and Friday mornings. During the t erm just closed the beginners class was held at 9 :30 o'clock and another class for advanced swimmers at 10:30 o'clock hut the lesson time has bec~ n limited and the beginners will meet at 9 :30 and the advanced at 10 o'clock according to the new schedule. "Duke" Slater, instructor of the classes for the past two years, will continue to conduct the class during the ne\v term. No· term fee is being charged for the extra sessions but a rate of fiftv cents per lesson will be pavahle each time. The class is op e n to - \\'ilmette residents and by special permission to Evanston re sidents. The onlv requirement besides the entrance fee witt be a tank swimming suit since woolen suits are not allowed in the Y. M. C. A. pool. in~~~e answer is the middle of th e month if it ts cold enough to freeze the i·ce, if not, the last of the month or during the Christmas holidays. The staff a ss istants have been busy erecting a portable shack at the golf course to be used for warming shelter. The poles for lighting at the Village Green and the wiring at the golf course have been erected. The coal has been ordered and the hose for flooding and the actual work of preparing the tw 8 courses will be started within a da:v or two so the Recreation hoard will he ready by the middle of the month it the weather conditions are suitable. Indications are that the ice . skating season will be as long in Wilmette this vear as last when a total of fifty -se \·en davs of skating were recorded at the Villag-e Green ·and fi'fty-three days at the golf course. At leas t the Recre::ttion board is prepared to hold out as long as the weather .does. The annual ice carnival wilt be conrlucted again this year in January atHl the ice hockey league conducted f o r 'Hammar school boys for the fir st tim e last vear will be continued under the 1irection of Glen W. ("Hap") Gathercoal. The Technique Seems to · Be Identically the Same "Five and six and seven and eight and-. Turn. Gentlemen forward, five and six and-. Ladies next, one and two and-. Now together." No. It isn'.t what you think. Far from 'being an old fashioned square dance. It's the very latest tango. If . you don't believe it, come to the Recreation dancing class next Friday ev~ ning at Stolp schoql and you'll be so'rry for your skepticism. A dancing class is conducted from 8 to 9 o'clock under the direction of J eanettc AdlatHI of the Adland Dancing studio in Evanston and following that the class members have the privilege of dancing to music supplied by AI Butow's four-piece orchestra. · Previous to last Friday's meeting the class \vork had been devoted entirelv to teaching the fundamentals of dancing but at the last lesson the class was promoted and the remaining six le:;sons will he devoted to new steps and combinations of the old ones. A significant feature of the class is that it is still growing. New members are added each class session, although at the present date the membership is not large enough to finance the proiect entirely. However if enough new couples attend the class during the next six lessons to warrant a new class, it will be started at the close of the nresent term. which ends in January. The fee is $1.50 per couple per lesson and $7 for the entire term, Daniel M . Davis. director of recreation announces.
