The WestbrooK High School Alumni
Association has been regarded by some
in the past as rather exclusive, although
no member thereof has ever, by act or
deed. given anyone cause to think so.
An effort has been made to set the asso-
citation right in the eyes of the graduates
and at the annual meeting Friday eve
ming, reorganization was effected, and
now the association bids fair to rapidly
increase in membership, until every grad
uate of the school is enrolled upon the
roster. The mem bership fee has heretofore
been considered too high, and the new
constitution will place it at fifty cents
per year, and any graduate, by the pay
ment of said sum, may become a member
of the association. Each graduating
class will be admitted the first year
free. The following were elected COM
m ittee to draw up the new constitution:
Clifton Bragdon and Guy P. Woodman.
The following officers were elected:
