Downs Nata- 1 torium by taking an afternoon dip in “Pinky’s Pool.” Those who do not know- how to swim are fast oecpriling experts under the cap- ablp, guidance and instructions of kArt Adamson, physical education instructor in charge of the pool. Racked by the Recreation i Council of College Station, this I community has one of the most extensive swimming programs in the j United States. Classes are held; for every type of swimmer, accojrding to age and ability tb For the beginners there are three groups with wtuch to receive in struction; novice, low and high. In addition to this lessons are givph to lojijv intermediates, high inter mediates and a class for advanced swimjmers. There are two , classes for women swimmers; the Ladies class, which; meets .on Monday and Wednesday at 1 o’clock, and the I Business Girls class, which meets Son Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30.; Every boy and girl is eligible to- take the course if the parent has paid (taxes to the city or county. According to Art, just about every boy and girl in this area has taken the course, and every afternoon the youngsters eagerly await the opening hours. A fee of $2 is charged, of which .$1 goes to the College for the use of the pool, and $1 is placed ia a fund! to purchase emblems and awards. i r- — Jesse Owens Loses To Quarter Horse Cajp a man outrun a hors*?
