HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Junior and Senior Boys Will Give
 Return Dance.

On February 9th the boys in the junior and senior classes will give q return dance to the girls of these classes in Leavenworth hall. The af- fair will be arranged in the same manner as the last one and the young men expect to outshine the young la dies ill arranging their reception.
 On January 18th an entertainment for the benefit of the senior class will be given in Assembly hall. The event will be in the musical line and the money cleared by the affair will help build treasury for the class.
 The basketball team is taking rest, as it is hard for the five to obtain games because almost every other high school five in the state is afraid of get ting trOunced by Captain Beach's men.
 A goodly number of the members of the Alumni association who were home for the holidays were very much dis appointed because of the failure of the dance due for the 18th of Decem- Der to take place. They seemed to think that a lack of interest was the cause of the falling through of the re- ceptiOn and many were of the opinion that the organization should be started on new basis. The old officers seem to have lost all interest in the associ- ation and several are in favor of elect ing a new set. Alumni associations have been organized so many times and disbanded shortly after that if the present organization ceases to exist 1t will be bood-bye to the alumni for a long time. It is now up to the con- mittee to run a big dance at the end of the school year in June and it Is the duty of the members to do all in their power for its success.
 The members of the Athletic ass0- clation and all those who participated in high school sports see very little chance of getting gymnasium in- stalled in the building the coming year. They were in hopes that the out going board of education would give the matter some consideration and ar. prOpriate an amount of money suita= ble at least for small gym Al most every other high school in the state has a gymnasium and there Is no reason why Crosby with 300 pupils, 25O of whom are boys, cannot have place to put themselves in proper con- dition for football. base ball. basket ball and field events. If a committed would take the trouble to look the matter over enough space. could be found down stairs to insure at least small gymnasium. The present room used as the girls lunch room could be fitted up at very small expense and would meet all demands until an ad- ditiOn or another building is put up in connection with Crosby.
 With the first signs of spring wealth. CT the candidates for the track team will come out and get into shape for their meets with Naugatuck and New Haven. There is good material at the school for the field sports and much interest is being awakened in this line.
 Many members of the senior class would like to see their officers elected earlier in the year. In other schools in the state the officers are chosen shortly after school opens, while at Crosby the election does not take place until almost at the close. of the term. There are many advantages de- rived from an early election and Cros- by is in line for change.
