<mods:abstract>An article on the front page of the Springfield Student Newspaper of the men's gymnastics exhibition team. The article was published on February 21, 1939 and mentions "the balancing trio", which includes Clive Smith, William Rappaport, and William Lewis. These 3 gymnasts are pictured in the middle of the article performing a balancing act. Professor and Head coach Leslie Judd is also photographed on the bottom right side of the newspaper. The history of Gymnastics at Springfield College goes all the way back till nearly the founding of Springfield College in 1885, when Dr. James Naismith, the creator of Basketball, was an early SC Gymnast. Beginning in 1904, the SC Gymnastics team would travel to cities to perform their Gymnastics routines. At the end of their travels, they would perform a “Home Show” at Springfield College, a show they continue to perform to this day. It was during the reign of head coach Leslie Judd, widely considered a father of modern Gymnastics, that the Gymnastics exhibition team really gained a claim to fame. 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, 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 fact, in 1941 the team appeared before thirty-five-thousand spectators in twenty-five cities.</mods:abstract>
