24 THE CHIMES A contest to secure membership to the Athletic Association was recently held by the school. This contest was very suc- cessful. The enthusiasm of each student was aroused by a graph placed on the blackboard, which showed the progress of each class. One of the most important questions that arose in the first athletic meeting was that of supplying wood to heat the hall in which basketball is to be played. The hall could not be used without being heated enough to take the extreme damp- ness out of the building. The basketball team, which is to start practice as soon as possible, will be much the same as last year's. It is hoped that two first-class teams will be organized this year, as there is sufficient material. The girls have elected as their manager, Miriam Tilden. A schedule of games to be played with other schools will be ar- ranged as soon as possible. K. Murphy, '26. JOK Heard in Chemistry ''Some one stole my beaker! Aw! that's nothing.

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.
