HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The last meeting of the New Haven high School Athletic association was held at the Boardman session room yesterday afternoon The business transacted consisted mainly of the eleG- tlons of officers for tho ensuing year, many of whom were chosen unanimous ly, For the first time during the ex- istence of this association, the mem pers of the fair sex were elected on a committee, Prior to this time the young women of the high school attended the meetings and voted, but were never given the chance to demonstrate their executive ability hy being chosen on committees, Messlnger's C0S) sugges- tion will no doubt prove as an incen- tive toward encouraging tho female students to become members of the athletic association, as they will here after be given chance to act on com mittees, whenever possible. Miss Doro- thy Blakesee 1909, and Miss Ruth Warren, 1910, both popular girls in their classes, were chosen on the tro- phy room committee, Mss Blakeslee receiving unanimous vote
 Dustin, '09, reported for the commit tee sent to the basketball meeting at New Britain on June 6, There were to be eight teams in the league, each team to pay an entrance fee of $5. A cup valued at sl5 was agreed to be awarded to the team winning the championship | The schools of the league would prob ably have been New Haven, Hartford South Manchester, MiddleseX, New Britain, Bristol, Willimantic and either Meriden or Naugatuck. Upon hearing this report tbe members discussed the advisabIlity of joining the league Great stress was laid upon the par | that most of the teams belonged to the northern section of the state, and thai the management would incur too great an expense to insure any profits. Some members thought that more teams In the vicinity of New Haven should have been in this league. with the result that those present decided not 10 joir the league. It Is certainly too bad tha local basketball team will not be q member of the league, as this is th' best possible thing the team could have done Besides furnishing a stimulus fol the players themselves to work for, thu management could not have found better way of coming out ahead finan clally. Good examples that can easily be recalled are the final games at tho Anderson gym. when the local hlgl met both the Bristol and New Britain quintets from the upper end of th' state. At those games tremendous crowds were present, about $40 being taken In, and the chances for dupllcat ing ths attendance next year woul, easily have been assured had the hlgl school entered the league.
