The Give and Take Athletic Association lived up to its name. The hall of the association in Orchard street was fitted out with muscle- making inventions.

Between these more serious occupations the Saturday night hop with the paper-box factory girls came as a refining influence and as an efficient screen.
~ O. Henry
