He is one of the foremost of the few pioneers who, out of all the chaff and all that was once considered beneficial but is absolutely impractical in our twentieth century, helped to develop this present adequate system which represents the true purpose of Physical Training - a healthy mind in a healthy body.

He's still the same old Carl, and he entertained me for days with his wacky jokes, like he did in "Gymnast" when we graduated. He is certainly doing well as supervisor of physical training in the public schools of St.

Die Elementarklasse
In der pädagogischen Lehre wird dieser Grundgedanke gebührend beleuchtet, indem das rückschrittliche Verhalten der Kirche in der Entwicklung von Nationen und Wissenschaften weiterhin deutlich dargestellt wird. In der Stunde zur Geschichte des Turnverbandes werden die politischen Gründe für den Freigeist der Turnpioniere hierzulande diskutiert und verständlich gemacht. Wir werden weit zurückversetzt in die früheste Geschichte der deutschen Auswanderung nach Amerika in den turbulenten Zeiten um 1848.
Wir glauben, dass, wenn wir mit dieser Überzeugung in unser neues Wirkungsfeld eintreten und diesbezüglich Einfluss nehmen, die Bemühungen der Lehrer unserer Schule von Erfolg gekrönt sein werden und daher dem Turnerbund für seinen Einsatz ein herzlicher Dank gebührt. die uns gewährt werden, angeboten werden. Wenn Sie, liebe Freunde, Jahre später in diesem Buch blättern und diese Zeilen alte Erinnerungen wachrufen, vergessen Sie nicht die kleinen Begebenheiten, die den Unterricht manchmal so angenehm machten.
OFFICERS
B S a suitable preface to a new department of the " Gymnast," it would perhaps be well to consider the value of the position of the freshmen in relation to the college and its business, and to what purposes they were to stand. It is during our college days that we prepare ourselves for useful lives, and it is here that we must shape and round out our individuality, not at the expense of others, but in such a way that we may become an influence, stimulating for the good. and dignified action the large number of people with whom we come into contact now and throughout life. We can get so little out of our college life unless we put it into what we have, and this very reluctantly.
So let us all believe that we have a power that depends on our own thoughts and will for our expression. Let us offer our College the very best that we have and with a sense of regret at the departure of those from nineteen to fourteen and a most glorious welcome to those who come, we unite with each other in creating a spirit that unites you with what is already present and be an increasingly greater force in the lives of future students.

To move "' from the heart of the city to its outer hell and back again was a fitting undertaking, considering the strike. One of the capacious trucks of the Indianapolis Abattoir Company was hailed, a sail and captured by those with enough energy. left to be free, and a lucky number came home the easy way. Perhaps the liveliest tour we made was on the Thursday of the first week of January.
The village grocery store at the end of the car line in Meridian Heights was the scene of active activity for about fifteen minutes after the girls were "lit." Oh. Once we were out of the spooky, abandoned cabin, we were moved to sing until the woods around echoed with our joy.

There were eleven happy girls behind one horse-drawn carriage and the merry tinkling of bells. And when winter turns to spring, and new and fresh winds invite us all to seek their sweetness and refreshment, we plan our sports with pleasure, "Sedlar".
History of Athletics
Their Olympic, Pythian and Nemian festivals, the Pentathalon, Decathalon and other events, have never been equaled in modern athletics. During the excitement of the Roman and the depoti m of the early German, gymnastics gradually advanced through the introduction of military tactics and other innovation. Through the efforts of men like these and those of succeeding generations, the German-American.
The Advance of Athletics and Gymnastics In Our School
McComb was found in one corner of the field, jogging in place and reading Shakespeare. The 100-yard dash, one of the fastest in history, 29 flat, was marked by excellent efforts from all participants. Moore were the heroes, and only the expert knowledge of the Greek jumping style Mr.
