Keen Interest in Swimming.
Girls at Nebrnska have- n keen interest
,in swimming. With much effort Miss Git-
Vtiiigs succeeded in getting tho nso of the
SX, M,' C. A, pool for n few hours weekly.
As a result nbout fifty nrdeut mermaids
c spent many hnppy mornings doing the
liigh divo or the Austrnlian crawl. Occa-
sionally ambitious swimmers venturing
out beyond their depth were filled with
fear of the deep, deep sea and shrieked
loudly for help. Here was opportunity for
would-be winners of hero medals. Tho
courage and dispatch exhibited by the life
savers in dragging iu tho drowning maids
by the hair is worthy of honorable mention.
