This meeting had been called to find out how many were in favor of holding the annual meeting at Point Pleasant—to be followed by a clambake and social. There was considerable opposition to this idea and it was dropped. The postponed annual meeting of 1895 was held March 9, 1896. Officers were elected as follows: President—George U. Arnold.

The Executive Committee were instructed to plan for a reunion. A supper at 50c a plate was decided upon for Thanksgiving Eve. A reception was to be held from 8 to 9 followed by dancing. On October 16, 1903, as only 90 tickets were pledged no definite date was set. But on October 29, 1903, an informal reception to graduates of the High School was given by the B. H. S. A. A. and an elaborate program was presented including a number of original poems. About 1915 there was a few gasps of life of the association. Bertram W. Wall was Secretary, according to the few and meager records found thus far in the search. One member of the Executive Committee could not attend one of the meetings as he had to take finals’’ down to Rhode Island State. George Cooke was elected President in 1924 and Margaret Nerone, Secretary. This revival was sponsored by the “Green and White.” But no meetings were held. The next jump brings us up to the years of grace 1929 and 1930, when at a meeting of one of our Civic service clubs, the idea was proposed, to help in the celebration of the town’s 250th anniversary; also, to foster athletics and “eserit C etole.” Four members of the faculty of the Colt Memorial (Senior) High School selected a committee representing the old High School of Bristol, and the classes of 1910-1929 of the New Colt Memorial High School. A meeting of this committee was held Friday evening, January 24, 1930, in Room 1 of the Colt Building. At this meeting an election of officers was held: President—Wm. L. Serbst, M. D. First Vice President—'Sadie C. Callan. Second Vice President—Norman E. Bernard. Secretary—Edna A. Demers. Treasurer—Harry W. Munro. Historian—Herbert B. Burnham, Jr. Executive Committee: Mrs. Josephine Baldwin, Cora M. Hill, Anne D. Sisson, Laurine W. Bradford and Mrs. Arthur W. Barrett. A membership committee was appointed. Another meeting was held March 31, 1930. At this meeting it was voted that the President appoint a Banquet Committee, to be held in June for the Seniors. It was also voted that an athletic sub-committee be appointed to assist the coach in equipping the various athletic teams. It is hoped that the Alumni will see fit to hold a grand reunion next September during the week of the own’s 250th Anniversary C flebration. Since this writing an Alumni dance has been arranged for June 27.

THE GREEN AND WHITE 31 My Name is MILTON BASSING “Porky” R. I. HONOR SOCIETY R. I. STATE Lo and behold! None other than Darrow's successor. Words fly fast and furious when “Porky” is in an argument; not only is he a letter man in football but a member of the R. I. Honor Society. It was due to his efforts that our cheering section gave the loyal support that it had. He intends to go to R. I. State next year and with that captivating smile we know that his friends will he numberless, especially among the fairer sex. His pet phrase is: Prove it!” He wants to be a “Yes man.” Parking place is along the main drag. Hear him sing: “I’ll get by.” His pastime is: Helen. My Name Is STANLEY BENNETT “Benny” UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Time works wonders—! Coming down from the wilds of Maine— strange and unknown, “Benny” has won for himself friends everywhere. Vice president of the Senior Class and on the Board of the “Green and White,” “Benny” has proved his worth. As manager of the basketball team he set a mark for other managers to reach. Recently Benny purchased a bullet-proof vest—on further inquiry we learned that he was going to the University of Chicago. Good luck, “Benny 1” Give our regards to A1 Capone. His pet phrase:—“Oh, yeah?” He wants to be a probation officer Parking place is: “Woolworth.” Hear him sing, I found a $1,000,000 girl in a five and 10 cent store.”
