OF the weekly classes, which have been
greatly increased, was prepared today
by the director. 1t is as follows:
Junior "A"-Monday and Thursday
1920 to $50; swim, 500 to $3.50.
Employed Boys, "B"-Monday and
Thursday 6:45 to 1:45; swim, 7:45 tc

Business men-Tuesdays and Fri
days. 10 TO 6.
This schedule provides for eight
classes, compared with only five most
of last season. The increased mem
bership has made it necessary to divide
The juniors into two classes, also the
employed boys. and to add a new class
for young men, not quite old enough
to get into the senior class. The
schedule contains list of sixteen
classes a week. 1t is thought that it
will probably be necessary further to
subdivide the classes to accommodate
the membership later in the season.
