At first the club contained only a few members, but it soon included many who became interested. The first few periods we Tould do very little in the line of tumbling because we had never tried it before. After a few periods we started fi.do easy tricks. Mr. Leech, our tructor, showed us how to do handsprings, dives, and other stunts every period. We practiced in the gym with two mats until the girls organized their club. At the presâ€" ent time the school owns three good mats. We have only one tumbling period: a week and we try to make the most ofâ€"it. During the next few weeks we started new stunts and polished up on the old ones. The most imporâ€" tant ones we learned were forward roll, dive for height and distance, backward roll, snap up, and cartâ€" wheel. We learned the Eskimo roll later. ‘ In the gym several weeks ago we put on our first program. . We did mostly simple stunts we were sure of. The audience liked it so much we decided to put on a program in assembly. This program was also successful. We hope to have as much success in the future as we have had in the past, and we hope this club will eontinue to attract as many boys as it has been doing for many years to come. By E. A. T. P.
