The success of these demonstrations has done much to raise in the minds of school patrons, the estimates of the accomplishments of the various departments. The League, through its Student Activities Committee, has rendered real service to the student activities. ln order to stimulate interest in, and provide opportunity for a greater number to take part in basketball, a splendid trophy was given to the school to promote inter-class basketball. A tennis cup has also been provided to encourage participation in the game of tennis. In addition to these gifts are those presented with the purpose in mind of enhancing the beauty of the new building. Two Persian mats for the splendid tables presented to the school by the XVomen's Club and the two decorative urns which complete the ensemble are also lasting reminders of the Home and School League. Best of all were the personal contacts which came through the furnishing of transportation for various out-of-town games and the services of chaperones, patrons and patronesses for student activities. lt has been suggested by some members of the League that it would be a fine thing for the League and the school it the student body had some represen- tation on the executive committees of the organization.
