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.
