Ginger Enjoys Friendship of Pan American Gymnasts After completing a twelve week course in gymnastics at the National Summer Palaestrum in Williamsburg, Michigan, Ginger accompanied by big sister Muriel had an exc’ting week in Chicago working out with the Pan American Gymnastic team, and also seeing the various games. Being the only small fry present (she’ll be ten in December), and a fine gymnast to boot, Ginger became an instant favorite of Americans both North and South as the picture indicates. She is the daughter of Evelyn and Harry Davis, 1819 Christopher Lane. Some of the athletes predicted that Ginger would become as good as Muriel in another four or five years, so time will tell.

Already an investerate performer, she stars in a dance group sponsored by the Evelyn Davis School of Dance, which has successfully performed for numerous church ana fraternal organizations. And speaking of Evelyn Davis, trying not to be out done by her ambitious daughters, she spent ten weeks in New York, this summer at The National Academy of Ballet, studying dancing under the guidance of famous stars, Thalia Mara, Arthur Mahoney, Yurek Lazowski, Marie Grimaldi, Hilda Butsova and Mary Skeaping, M.8.E., Director of the Royal Swedish Ballet. In addition to this she was honored by the National Association of the Dance with a gold pin award for five years participation in the activities of the organization. Although closed for the Summer, Evelyn plans to open her Speedway studio, on or about September 22nd.
