creased with each event. 1t has beer
conducted by the Westbrook High
School Alumni Association, but Mt

voted not to hold this reception anC
dance this year. 1t is even talked that
other parties are contemplating ar.
ranging this event and have been prom
sed the support of not only large
number of the association, but by citi-

does not want to DISCONTINUED an event
which is in vogue in every other place
where there a is high school of any
