Mr Taylor, the well-known basketball scorer, has been elected to the Physical Committee. Members will be glad to hear that Mr Eric Grocott is regaining his health and hopes to again attend to his many committee duties during the coming month. Mr A. W.

P The Leader’s Corp are responsible for building up a particularly efficient physical culture class which meets each Monday In the Horotlu 'Hall. The membership is evenly divided over senior ladies, senior men and juniors, and with the guidance of the senior leaders from Hamilton, very pleasing progress has been attained. The expert exponent of gymnastics is Tom Wylie specialising In the Flying Angel, while Alf Hedges and Boy Jamieson are showing considerable promise in tumbling -and horizontal bar work. The baby of the outfit is Barbara Patterson, who has an art all of her own. It has been reported that Barbara spent her week-end practising dives over the Shetland pony. Let the seniors emulate this keenness arid their coming display will feel the benefit. Table Tennis.

Tables are to be erected in the upstairs rooms and a committee selected to ensure that Y.M. and Y.W. members have a full opportunity to commence team practices prior to the commencement of competition play.
