Description:	A newsletter issued by the South Bend Turnverein, begun in September, 1937. Sec. 562, P. L. & R.SOUTH BEND TURNERVol. IIIMEMBERSThe officers of 1940 feel honored tobe entrusted with the guidance of theSouth Bend Turnverein for the comingyear, but inasmuch as only 15 or 20members have been present at the recentmeetings, feel that they should ha~emore support from the 175 members mgood standing.We have often wondered if the membersrealize that this society is a cooperativeorganization in which eachmember has the privilege of expressinghis thoughts at the meetings and should,therefore, endeavor · to do his share tofurther the social and physical activitiesof the society. Our children andactive gym classes are well attendedand we are proud of their achievementsin the recent and other gymnastic meetsin Chicago. Our social affairs have alsobeen successful.We regret to say, however, that ournew members are not attendiqJS themeetings and we are particularly interestedthat they become acquaintedwith us so that they will enjoy th~benefits of the society. This goes forthe old members too, that dont showup.We all want our Turner Hall to be aninteresting spot. vVe know Lhere iroom for improvement and we needyour help. Only thru cooperation ~anwe continue to improve. So, lets ALLset aside the SECOND and LASTMONDAY of EACH MONTH for theTURNER MEETINGS.(E. 0. W.

Herman warimmer ein treurer Saenger, der vieleAbende dem Deutschen Liede widmete,denn er sang nicht nur mit uns allein,sondern auch mit dem Maennerchor undden Fortbildungsverein. Als Sangesbruederhaben wir seinen letzten Wunscherfuellt, und Ihm noch ein DeutschesGrablied zum Geleit gegeben. Fuer dieunermuedliche Aufopferung zur Foerderungdes Deutschen Liedes sangenwir: Ehre seinem Andenken und Friedeseiner Asche.Es fruet uns sehr dass unser DirigentEmil wieder im besseren Befinden ist,March, 1940HANS A .

S.LADIES GYM CLASSThe reason for the breakina downof classes has been revealed to thewriter by her absence from three sessions.The first time I hated to miss ;the second I wondered if I d be missedand the third I didn t care, so .. . ..the moral to this story is - COME TOCLAS RAIN OR SHINE.And, speaking of rain, Spring is justaround the corner (I hope) also Springhousecleaning (I Know) so to keepthose muscles limbered up for thatladder climbing and crawling into cubbyholes to sort out stuff we should havethrown out last year, youll need yourregular exercises.

Ordid we have fun? Y owsa, we did, allthe boys and girls who attended thetobbogan party will never forget it. Idon t see where any outfit can offermore that we had in those few hoursSunday, February 1 lth. There were spills and thrills, tobogganing,watersports, skiing, free refreshments,free movies, plenty goodfellowship and plenty of exercise in thefresh air. It was funny to see how distrustfulthe hikers were of the sleds·all of em starting out on sleds, butmost of them finished the rides on theseat of their pants. As a matter offact, no two ever went down the sameway; some went fast, some slow, somestarted out with two on and only thesled went all the way, and yes, sir, oncewhen Hans and Dina went down, thesled got stuck and the two kept goingfor another 1 S feet with nothing underem but 2 pair of wet pants, and Dinasarm was still around Hans mid-section.I guess the two never missed the sled.Some went down three-layer one ontop of the other. Thats the way Grapenutswants to go down the next time,sandwich style with Marie and Virginia.The sun was out bright and earlymeltina some of the snow into a nicelittle creek right down the best part ofthe run , making the party especially interestingfor the spectators ; they alwayswondered if the next ones down weregoing to get a shower or a good soaking.As a matter of fact, Virginia, (shewho is wooed by Korky) asking howshe should go down, was told if shewanted her face washed to do down belly-flop and if the feet needed itSOUTH BEND TURNERmore, to ride sitting. Mrs. Wolle, anewcomer in our ranks, only went downtwice, and after hugging the warm furnacefor three hours, insisted she wasdry outside, but her inside was all wetyet. Emil Wirth and Hans Seifert hadfirst experience on skiis, liking it, whileHilde Wolle did the pioneering in thisnew sport.Refreshments were served at theWirth residence and there were almostthirty of us who accepted this hospitalityand made the most of it. TurnerWirth finally had to start his movie tostop the most ardent bellystuffers.The movies were mostly of ourselveson previous hikes, in full color and werea surprise to most of us, due to the factthat we were unaware that we were beingfilmed and so had a real chance tosee ourselves as others see us. We certainlyare indebted to Emil and Hazelfor the trouble they went to in providinga pleasant afternoon and eveningfor us.Attendance was very good with Billand Mildred coming all the way fromChicago as they have done on pervioushikes.Lets keep up the good work.Grapenuts.BASKETBALLThe Turner A and B teams arefinishing their basketball season withtwo more games, after which a GoldMedal Tournament will be held the21st, 22nd and 23rd of March.Three more games were added to thewinning list of the Turner A and Bteams.
