meeting of the school year Yesterday
afternoon in the association room. All
officers and managers for next wear
We're elected and a revised constitu-
| ton was accepted. The revised consti-
tuition makes few very radical
changes, the most noticeable being a
change in the registration fee and the
time of becoming members. The an.
nual dues are to be fifty cents and
no members are to be accepted after
the first montA of school except upon
majority vote Owing to the non
arrival of the cross country ensigns
the winners could not be presented
with their laurels, but Coach Belknap,
after few words of praise for the
teams and some very good advice in
regards to the material to be trained
| up for future teams. named Charles
King as winner of first place in the
cross country run, and Guy Fulton as
winner of the second place.
1t was with much regret that the
association was forced to accept the
resignation of Jesse Devero from the
captaincy of the foot ball team for
next year, but owing to his removal
| from the city, he could not serve.

was then taken up and the election
