Probable Cost, and the Way the
Money May he Raised Is Talked

1--WE are really just entering on our
first year of association work. said Sec
rotary Grace, in his address to the mem
bers and their friends. whether this
association is to. be=put on a permanent
basis depends on the work that will be
accomplished during this winter
Mr.. Grace briefly outlined the i'm
provements to be made in the as
sociation's equipment. New apparatus
! has been secured for the gymnasium, a
| !.
ranged for this winter, basket ball, shut
file board and indoor base ball. The
| educational department will embrace me-
| chanical drawing, typewritfng and short
| hand, Spanish and German, music and
! eIocution. More attention will be paid
| to the social side of the work than here
| tofore and money appropriation has
! been made for this purpose. Secretary
Grace spoke of the desire of the mem
bres of the association for a swimming
| pool. He said that there was a place
! for one on the third floor but the cost
would be $1,000 and the raising of this
sum would mean very large increase
in the membership. There was a pres
ent cash on hand from members, $500.
! Three hundred $40 members would renew
| their subscriptions and 100 S. members,
raising the amount to $500. This, with
the 100 S. junior members, would sub
scribe again, would make the amount
$4,000. The present Indebtedness of the
association is ST., 595. Secretary Grace
figured that 1856 new $40 members, sixty
new S. members and 100 new SIS Junior
| members would with the aomunt already
| on hand, making $3.50 in ALL would go
! far toward Iiquidating the indebtedness
| and the swimming pool might then be
made an assured fact. Secretary Grace
proceeded to explain how this might be
done. The members present were divid-
ed into six committees, with two men
from each, to act as squad captains. The
following men were named captains:
First committee, ]. A Farrell, John X
Robinson; second, Abner Grace, Harvey
Webster; third, Paul Johnson, M. G.
Pfaff; fourth, Ralph Allison, L. B. Ware;
| fifth, Thomas H. Dixon, George S. Tangs-
dorf; sixth, Thomas E. Covington, Chas.
E. Soaring.
These committees will work with might
and main for new members. Only mem
bership upon which IS has been paid will
count. At the close of the contest q
| banquet will be given the new members
at which the member who has obtained
the largest amount Of money for the as
ISOLATION will be guest of honor. The
man who obtains one new member will
receive a button with 81 have one, how
many have you?" inscribed thereon, while
he who obtains twenty new members will
| receive a similar button with the OXCop-
