18 THE QUIVER play given January 25, the society has purchased over seventy-eight dollars’ worth of yarn and a knitting machine to knit warm garments for the young men who go out from Woonsocket High School, and has adopted two French war orphans, a girl about ten, and a little boy, two : r.d a half years of age. It is expected that the organization, which has made such a good beginning, will grow in size and usefulness. Several patriotic citizens have addressed us, and given us advice during th'' year. Arpeals were made to our generosity for the Y. M. C. A. and K. of C. war funds, for liberty bonds and war-saving stamps, for our share in conserving food, for books for the soldiers and sailors’ library, for Red Cross work, etc. Among the speakers were Supt. Mowry, Principal Spratt, Mr. J. C. Cosseboom, Mr. Charles Carroll, M. A. E. Holmes, boys’ secretary, Y. M. C. A., Mr. Wm. Preston, Mr. E. B. Hill, and Mr. H. J. Pettingill. The youngest of the patriotic gentlemen, Master Charles Carpenter, aged 5, gave a very enthusiastic demonstration of how to salute our Hag. Corporal Byron Hudson of the 301st Engineers, a former member of the school, paid us a visit in March, and gave us an interesting talk on Life at Camp Devens.” The grounds surrounding Woonsocket High School now present a most pleasing appearance. Great improvements have been made on the school premises at a considerable expense to the city, but this money has been well expended. The lawn at the front and sides is broken by granolithic walks, which lead up to the building. The walks leading to the main entrance are so arranged that the grounds in the front form a semi-circle. Beautiful shrubs have been planted in suitable places throughout the grounds. At the rear of the building are two tennis-courts. The athletic fi ld will soon be completed. A circular running-track, the principal feature of this section, will, in the future, be a great aid to young marathon runners. These various improvements help to make the grounds of Woonsocket High School both beautiful and useful.
