GYMNIC A SUCCESS 
A novel and decidedly entertaining 
gymnic was given under the auspices 
of the Parent-Teacher Association at 
the Town hall, Manchester, last even- 
ing with a large attendance present. 
The affair was in charge of Mrs. 
George R. Dean, who is well known 
to Manchester people as a teacher of 
gymnastics. The program’ included 
numbers from the smallest tots in the 
public schools of the town to the 
mothers and teachers. The folk 
dances were more than attractive, in 
that they showed what one month of 
training could do in instilling some 
idea of rhythm and co-ordination of 
mind and body in the minds of be- 
ginners. The younger, as well as the 
older pupils, showed a_ surprising 
amount of quickness of thought and 
grace of motion in the dances, and 
the gymnastic drills were well carried 
out. Mrs. Dean’s work is too well 
known here to need any comment. 
Cake and candy were sold by a com- 
mittee. At the tables were Mrs. John 
Prest, Mrs. Frank Floyd, Mrs. Harry 
Purington, Mrs. John Connors and 
Mrs. Bohaker. Miss Ladd and Miss 
Fanny Knight of the corps of teach- 
ers sold the candy. Alfred L. Saben, 
Chester L. Crafts and Alexander 
Robertson were ushers. A_ few 
changes were made in the program, 
which was taken then as follows: 
1. Simple Folk Dances and Singing 
Games—iIst grade boys and 
girls, 
2. Gun Exercises—Boys from the 
Priest School. 
3. Folk Dances and Singing Games 
—Pupils of 2d. and 3d. grades. 
5. Folk Dances—Girls from the 
Priest School. 
6. Dutch Dance—High School Girls. 
7. Spanish Dance— High School 
Girls. 
8. Indian Dance—Boys 
Priest School. 
g. Mistress Mary in Flower Land— 
Price and Priest School Girls. 
10. Violin Solo—Miss Grace Salter. 
11. Old English Dance—Mothers and 
Teachers. 
12. Folk Dances—High School Girls. 
13. Flag March—Price and Priest 
Schools. 
Among the many pretty singing 
games played by the youngest chil- 
dren, those from the first grade, “The 
Pied Piper” seemed to be the fay- 
orite. The children took the part of 
the mayor, his advisor, the children, 
the piper and even the rats to per- 
fection and seemed to enjoy all 
equally. The well-known story was 
cleverly set forth in dance even to the 
little lame boy, who was left behind 
when the cave closed behind his 
playmates and the piper. 
Perhaps the most elaborate num- 
ber on the program was “Mistress 
Mary in Flowerland” an adaptation 
of the story of “The Little Match 
Girl.” The costumes in this were 
effective and the dances pretty. The 
Indian dance and the gymnastic drills 
by the boys were very creditably per- 
formed under direction of Miss 
Lila Goldsmith and Mrs. Dean. The 
work by the high school girls was very 
fine especially the Dutch dance. It 
seemed as if all the old attics in Man- 
chester must have been ransacked to 
provide the splendid specimens of 
colonial costumes which were worn 
in the Old English Dance, which was 
executed with grace and beauty by 
the mothers and teachers. The fol- 
lowing took part in this dance: Miss 
Lila Goldsmith, Miss Fanny Knight, 
Miss Parker, Mrs. George B. North- 
rup, Mrs. Leonard Andrews, Miss 
Ladd, Miss Bragdon, Mrs. Hans 
Dahl, Miss Lena Jones, Miss Went- 
worth, Mrs. John Baker, Mrs. Ches- 
ter L. Crafts, Mrs. Cruikshank, and 
Mrs. Charles Scott. 
The entertainment is to be repeated 
tonight at 7.45, admission is to be 25 
cents and cake and candy will be on 
sale as last evening. The entertain- 
ment is worth while, not only as 
an entertainment, but as an intro- 
duction to the Manchester public of 
an educational feature, new here, but 
quite popular in larger towns and 
cities,
