THE CHIMES 21 CHOOL f OTl To make this year a memorable one, the Seniors began to scurry around for new ideas, suggestions, and plans. During the first week of school the following officers were elected: Anna Conant, president; Rose Herman, vice presi- dent; Hazel Eaton, secretary; Edgar Hyland, treasurer. The project of a series of class parties was immediately attended to. At the present time there have been four par- ties. The hostesses have been Anna Conant, Hazel Eaton, Eleanor Cole, and Margaret Torrey. The economics class has recently visited Keith's Shoe Fac- tory of East Weymouth and the Walter Baker Chocolate Fac- tory of Dorchester in order to understand more thoroughly the subject of the division of labor which is being studied in this class. The Senior Girls, who are complimentary members of the Scituate Woman's Club, have attended all the meetings held at the Club House this season. They have found each meeting more interesting than the preceding one. The Senior Class is greatly pleased with the success of the food sale which was given at the High School, Saturday, December 5. In spite of the rain nearly everything was sold. A committee, composed of Miss Dudley, Anna Conant, Sal- lie Murphy, and Lois Wilson, went to Boston for the purpose of choosing a class play. The final selection will soon be an- nounced. Many of the members of the commercial class have been awarded certificates for speed and accuracy from the Royal Typewriter Company and certificates for the eighty work transcription test from the Gregg Company. Four of the girls are members of the Order of Artistic Typists. The first meeting of the Sophomore Class was held the sec- ond week of school. The election of officers was as follows: John Young, president; Priscilla Cole, vice president; Kath- erine Somers, secretary; Sarah Baker, treasurer. The first project that the class took up was a party given to the Freshmen of November 28 at the Allen Memorial Li- brary. Miss Bradford and Miss Pierson acted as chaperons. In the Freshman Class the following officers were elected: John Stewart, president; James O'Connor, vice president; Ruth Dwyer, secretary; Ethel Tierney, treasurer. The new cover design for our paper was an extra problem assigned to the Art Classes. The ones who stuck to the prob- lem were Paul Quinn, Gertrude Wherity, Malcolm Merritt, Priscilla Cole and Anna Healy. The design drawn by Paul Quinn was finally chosen. However, all the students that en- tered this contest deserve credit for their good work.

THE CHIMES 23 BOYS' ATHLETIC NOTES I'he boys, under the direction of Mr. Kruzyna, have been practicing on the track. A squad of about twenty-five has re- ported regularly each day and plans are under v ay for a track team this spring. Despite the fact that a foot ball team was not organized this fall, one watching the boys at noon would think that they were striving for positions on a college eleven. It is hoped that next year the field will be usable and a foot ball team will be organized. Because of the conditions of the hall, basket ball practice has been somewhat postponed. Last year's basket ball team made a creditable showing in view of the fact that none of the team had ever played basket ball before. The team will be a formidable one this year as it has a few of last year's ex- perienced players: Hyland, Driscoll, Wherity, Prouty, Pan- etta, Merritt and Evans. Morris, the center, McCarthy, for- ward, and Curran, guard, will be missed, however. The first meeting of the Athletic Association was called on Friday, December 4. The officers who are to serve for the year were elected. They are as follows : President — John Prouty, Vice President — John L. Young, Secretary — Nellie Mitchell, Treasurer — Miss Dudley. Edgar Hyland and Mal- colm Merritt were chosen as manager and assistant manager of the boys' basket ball team. They both promise a hard schedule for the boys. John Stewart, '29, Boys' Athletic Editor. GIRLS' ATHLETICS The athletics among the girls have not been very extensive this fall, although the girls have had some practice on the track. Very little of this work was done, however, because of the failure to begin the work early enough. The cheer leaders for the coming year are Hazel Eaton and Anna Conant. Both of these girls have shown their ability in this sort of work, and it is expected the cheering section will be larger than ever this year.
