14 OAK. LILY AND IVY. SCHOOL NOTES. The Juniors held class meetings Dec. 13 and 14, when it was decided to have class rings. These have been sent for and their arrival is anxiously awaited. Leo Murray T9, has recovered from his operation and has returned to school. William Sprague T8 has decided to remain in school. William Murphy T9 has left school. Frances Tilden T9 has returned to school after a long absence due to scar¬ let fever. The Seniors held an enthusiastic class meeting January 10 at which the de¬ cisions of the dance committee were placed before the class. The change from K. of C. Hall to Town Hall as the scene of the event was accepted with unani¬ mous approbation by the class. It was voted to have Niro Calabrese’s Ten Piece Orchestra, and to charge the same prices as last year. Friday, January 26, was the date selected. Fred Niro was added to the committee in place of Marion Metcalf, who graduated. A few months ago it was decided by the School Committee to have military training in the high school. The boys have had two or three enthusiastic meet¬ ings; being addressed once by Captain Pond. On January 11 the following offi¬ cers were elected from the Senior class: Captains: Vesperi, Welch, Bruce. Lieu¬ tenants: Behrens, Gordon, Jones, Ripley, Ahern, Sullivan. Miss Alice G. Whitemore, former teacher in the High School has announc¬ ed her engagement to Robert Kinney of Milford. By using very drastic measures, Mr. Fitzgerald has managed to instill a semblance of punctuality into the habitually tardy pupils.
