+ Now that the class Of 80, Washington
High Schools. has busted up IL seems to
some that further attempts to bring to-
gether the members Of this class will tie
utterly useless. The Central made a very
poor showing at the recent reunion, and
the Eastern turned out in large numbers
while the Western was simply mo; In it."
1t looks from this that the Central and
Western schools will have a little trouble in
bringing together a sufficient number of
graduates of '93 to clear Necessary ex-
penses. Some have thought that the East

drawing from the combined Class, TINS
knocking in the head, II Is claimed. the
success of a well-intended organization.

barrassment that is now worrying the var
ious executive committees Will readily see
ner that will undoubtedly be more profit
able and satisfactory to its Members They
turned out as many as the Central, when

at former receptions and IL a class tax can
be levied equal to one-half hat Of reunion.
1t will be to their advantage to hold q re-
union in their own separate section Of the
city. This move on the part If % Sill in
all probability lead "a to follow in the foot
steps Of its predecessors. and as the follow
ing graduating classes will evidently pass
II on" 1t is likely that the recent reception
will be the first and last in which the grad
yates of the three academic and scientific
high schools will ever be known to have
reunited.
The numerous charity entertainments
that have been given lately have inspired
the High School graduates and present
Students and II has been decided to give
one or more dramatic entertainments about
the end Of this month at Martyr College
Hail. The program will include three short
plays. as follows: "On Time" drama In
one act: American Hearts," a farce in one
act. and Not a Bit Jealous" farce in one
