St. Josephs College Turnverein To Present Acrobatic Program.

Members of St. Joseph’s College Turnverein have been busy for the past few months practicing for an athletic program, which is to include among other features work on the horizontal and parallel cars, ground tumbling and pyramid building. A troop of clowns, themselves finished acrobats as well as fun makers, will liven up the intervals between the regular acts. _ The performance will be the first since a year before the fire which destroyed the old gymnasium. It is hoped by the management that ‘t will awaken the lively interest in the art of turning which marked the years previous to that calamity. Those who witnessed the exhibition in 1913 will recall the excellence achieved in the work at that time. Despite the fact that many of the performers in the coming program are first year men, it is believed that the event will prove equal to, if it does not excel, all former efforts. The program will be given on Tuesday evening, May 16, in the college auditorium.
