Any one wishing a sample of the new Lawrence Para-fine chewing gum, apply to Brown and Prentice, agents. We would like to remind some of our most generous contributors that there is a waste paper basket in Room 1, and several ash-cans in the cellar. Therefore, there is no necessity for droping any gifts in the manuscript box in the hall. A good school note would be far more welcomed . Magnier, ’08, in the latin class transformed the verb scio in skidoo, and answered it in so loud a voice that Mr. Ladd was forced to ask him to skidoo. First Junior. Is’nt it bright in the cellar to-day? Second Junior. O, don’t be alarmed that’s only the four new windows. Bulkeley has won the interscholastic basket ball championship of Eastern Connecticut. On February 5, the senior class gave a dance in Lyric Hall, to the junior class of the W. M. I. The hall was prettily decorated with the school colors, orange and black. A large aggregation from both schools were present and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. The mandolin club is certainly progressing. The quintette ought to be an attraction at the school play this year. Manager Silden expects to have the pictures taken in the near future. 15

BULKELEY NEWS rijnnl Untps N January 19, a school meeting was held to ratify the amendments to the constitution, relating to elegibility and numerals. Both amendments were passed by a unamious vote of the school. During the last month there has been two school meetings for the rehearsing of the school yells. Both have resulted in a much better attendance at the games and a great improvement in the cheering. Let the good work go on. The Basket Ball team had their pictures taken at Kenyon’s studio on February 2. The pictures are exceptionally good and it is probable that all the other athletic teams will follow their example. Slendon. ’06, has left school, and anticipates entering an architect’s office. Dunn, ’08, and Keefe, ’05, both participated in the Hopkins game. It’s queer that Hopkins can’t play us without two old Bulkeley men in their line-up. How many pasteboards are you going to sell for the school show? “Get Busy.” Wonder how many ’06’s there are in the debating club ? The present cover and paper of the “ News ” will be continued for the remainder of the school year. The only change will be in the color of the cover design and ads. 14
