In this time: one, two, three, four, arms twice sidewaysstretch! Arms twice downward - stretch! Combine the two movements, and continue bending and stretching in same time go! Stop! From the "bend" position the arms are stretched twice sideways, and twice downward, with eight counts for the combination. 5. Trunk. Arms upward -bend! Bend the knees and touch the bells to the floor-stoop! (Fig. 90.) Arms, bend, and knees stretch! Arms upward bend, and backward stretch! Again one! Two! Three! Four! Continue in this time: one, two, three, four-go! Stop! (Same as 4, lesson 1, page 169, except that arm bending and stretching backward alternates with stooping.) 6. Precipitant. Jumping Jack.

Clear the desks ready for gymnastics. Stand! Pass for the apparatus. Class, forward-march! Class, halt! 1. Order. Bells on the floor place! Class, two steps forward-march! Class, three steps backward - march! left about face! Right about, face, and one step forward - march! (Work for good form. See 1 (1), lesson 2, page 217.) For description of march steps and facings not in combination, see 1, lesson 5, page 128; also 1 (2), lesson 13, page 141, and 1, lesson 8, page 133. 2. Head. Take the bells!

Arms sideways upward, raise, click the bells over head, and knees stretch! Hands and feet position! Again one! Two! Three! Four! The arms are raised sideways upward, the bells clicked over head, and at the same time the heels are raised; then the arms are brought sideways down to the back (Fig 86), and the bells are clicked together as the knees are bent. From the latter position the arms are raised sideways upward, the bells are clicked, and at the same time the heels are raised. Then the arms are brought sideways downward to fundamental position as the heels are lowered. 4. Trunk. Alternate knee upward bending; in this time: one, two, beginning right, and clicking bells under the knees go! If this is given to a mixed class, place bells on hips, or click bells in front of knee as it is bent. Admonitions. Keep body erect. Chest up. Pull the knees well up in front. 5. Precipitant.
