The Lasell Leaves thus describes the gymnasium in its mid-winter dress.

"Again we are at work in the adored gymnasium, industriously tugging away at the 'pound and a quarter' chest-weights, and swinging 'fourteen ounce' Indian clubs with an absorbing devotion, worthy of so great a cause. All are delighted with our new teacher, and the hour for exercise is hailed with joy. Everyone is exhibiting an interest in her neighbor's muscle, and the girl who can vault is looked upon with wonder and amazement by the majority of the new girls, although by this time they are quite 'old' and worldly-wise.'

The new dressing-rooms are very convenient, and since a mirror has been hung in the hall, the girls seem to appreciate them; they do away with the bother of going to the rooms to prepare for exercise, making the operation much quicker and easier. Each room is furnished with a stool, hooks, and a locker for the suits."
