The order of the images does not represent the actual scrapbook, as it was unbound and put into folders at an unknown time.

The first part of the entertainment was a concert in the Temple theater by Miss Jude Deyo, contralto, and Harry Duboff, violinist, with Miss Ruth Bagnell at the piano. The program was exceptionally heavy but well chosen. The dramatic num- bers of Miss Deyo's group were par- ticularly intense and powerful. The concert numbers were as follows:
Tschaikowsky, "Melody in F;" Hahn, "Where My Songs with Wings Provided;" MacDowell, "The Sea;" Strauss, "Devo- tion;" Massenet, "meditation from "Thais;" Salter, "The Cry of Rachel;" Clough-Leighter, "My Lover He Comes on the Skee;" Allitsen, "Unto Thy Heart."

The crowd filled the bleachers of the gymnasium to watch the athletics class of the club give exhibitions of military marching, Swedish dances, Danish folk dances, wand drills and Indian club drills. When the relay race began the spirit of cheering which infests a contest floor became manifest even among dignified club women. Thirty- two women entered the exhibition yesterday. The class, which is under the instructorship of Mrs. Fred C. Williams, formerly an assistant gym- nasium teacher at the University of Nebraska, has met but one hour a week since the first of October. The ages of the members vary from twenty-five to forty. Some of the work exhibited yesterday was excep- tionally good and won the applause not only of club members but of gym- nasium students who watched the per- formance.
