During its first meeting, members of the club made plans for activities they wished to spon- sor during the school year, as well as electing officers. The Association has been very successful in raising funds. In order to obtain money for much-needed new football and basket- ball uniforms, each member contributed J2.00 in dues. The profit from a dance in honor of the football nlayers added to this fund. Perhaos the biggest contrroution to the school, besides suo- port at the games, has been orovided by the Athletic Association ' s purchase of a new basketball scoreboard for the gymnasium. Through parents, almost $ 00 was collected for this project. Members of the Athletic Association are allowed to attend basketball games at a student rate.
