The Annual Reception and Business
 meeting of High School Alumni
 Secretary Ponds Report.
 A scene of informal pleasure and unre- strained enjoyment was that which opened itself over the smooth floors of High School hall yesterday evening and made the annual reception of the Alumni association un- questionable success.
 Previous to the reception business meet ing was held. The principal business was the hearing of Secretary Philip Ponds report which took about thirty-fve minutes to read. The treasurer reported $1s1.e .e9 as receipts, $53 75 as expenditures, leaving $127.94 on oi1and. Secretary Pond in his report spoke of the election of Mir. Walter Leigh over MT. Morris F. Tyler in the last school election. stFree text books caught the words, he said, "and that won" The election gave 6 lesson that should not be forgotten. When a man can nominate himself and be chosen by the people, it means danger to the school, the secretary thought. More interest should be aroused by school elections. He said that those hostile to High school only show the narrowness of their views. The boys and girls of to-day must be better equipped than those of twenty-five years ago. The school does fine work by fitting teachers and those
 
 general good. He thought the idea of rais- ing the grade of admission to the school to relieve the overcrowdiDg was abominible. It is a significant fact that many who have gone from the school are among the highest and ablest scholars.
