A club is being formed at the Central
among upper class men," and it is
it will be either for promot
ing dances or euchre parties. With t|o
senior clubs, two junior clubs, and
numerous other organizations, the Cen
trail has its share of such bodies. but as
the enrolment of pupils is large. this
matter of having many clubs is not felt
so much as if a condition existed in
smaller school.

school publication of the Western High
School. has been distributed to the pu-
pills of that school, and judging from its
