SC Gymnastcis Exhibition Team Poster, Proctor High School Gym (c. 1940)
Description:
A poster for the Springfield College Gymnastics Exhibition Team, which performed at 8:30 p.m. on February 9 at the Proctor High School Gym under the auspices of the School Physical Education Department and YMCA. Based on information in the brochures, we believe this exhibition took place in 1940 at Proctor High School in Utica, New York. Tickets were sold for seventy-five cents, fifty cents, and twenty-five cents, depending on seats. Under the leadership of Professor Leslie J. Judd, the purpose of the Springfield College Exhibition team was to promote and maintain an interest in gymnastics, the dance, and the artistic phases of physical education in schools, colleges, YMCAs, and recreational centers. The Exhibition Team has appeared before thousands of spectators in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In 1941, the team appeared before thirty-five-thousand spectators in twenty-five cities.
