plans are at present in an embryo state.
 It is believed that the student body working with the alumni association could create the necessary fund in four or five years. probably in a much shorter time if the proper spirit can be aroused. Ernest Ross Warren, member of the school faculty and an alumnus of the school, is enthusiastic over the plan. A series of entertain ments, school plays and athletic con tests have been suggested as means for raising funds. together with a can vass of members of the Alumni asso- ciation for subscriptions to a building fund. A number of members of the Alumni association have been very successful in the professions and bus mess enterprises in which they have engaged since leaving school and there is a belief that their interest in the school is sufficient to cause them to emulate the generosity of the late John Danielson in his gift of the site for the present high school and sub scribe Iberally to the gymnasium fund, with the idea of creating some thing of value to an institution to which they owe so much. If they would do this, the raising of the building fund would be simple matter
 The proposition will be given care ful attention and more will undoubted- ly be heard of it in the near future.

SURPRISED ON BIRTHDAY.
Employees and Friends of Ira Martin Pleasantly Mark His Anniversary me Gift Presented.

Ira Martin, proprietor of the Palace laundry, was delightfully."- and unex- pectedly reminded that he had reached his 50th birthday Sunday when about 3 o'clock he was called to his home from the Bohemian club to be greeted by about a score of his employees and friends gathered to do him honor and wish him many happy returns of the day. Mrs. Martin was in the secret and had made all the preparations for a big surprise to her husband, and such it proved to be. A fine turkey dinner had been provided and there was fruit and frozen pudding and many other tempting things. The feast was a joyous one. Incident to the gathering MT. Martin was pre- sented by his employees a beautiful solid gold watch charm and the greetings of his friends. MT. Martin was extremely appreciative of the gift and the friendship that prompted it and says he will always prize it highly.
 MT and Mrs. Martin came to Dan- ielson about nine years ago and dur ing their residence here have made so many friends that Danielson now seems as if it had always been their home, although bonds of friendship still unite them with their previous places of residence.

HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM.
Project to Start a Fund Among Alum
 nj, Students and Friends.

The building of a gymnasium for Killingly High school Is the new and attractive proposition being called to the attention of members of the Alum nj association and of the members of the athletic association and the stu dent body of the school At the out set the idea is to create a fund suffi- cient to meet the cost of the con struction of the building without ap- pealing to the town for money.
 When the present high school build ing was originally planned provision was made in the structure for a gym nasium such as has been provided in the new Putnam High school, but the prospective excessive cost of the struc- ture as planned was so great that the plans were remodelled and two story school constructed instead of the three story building that had been proposed. In the change of plans the gymnasium was eliminated.
 As the high school has grown the need of a gymnasium has become more and more pressing, as the interest in athletics is constantly expanding At the present time the hiring of a hall for practice and games entails a heavy expense on the students and even then leaves them without facilities they would have in a gymnasium building.
 It has been thought that sufficient enthusiasm and support can be devel- oped and secured from the students and alumni and friends of the school to create fund for the construction of a gymnasium. It is 8 big project for those interested to attempt, but it is believed that it can be success fully carried out.
 A brick structure one story in height is what has been thought of for a gym nasium and it is believed that it car be built and equipped as desired, with 1 baths. dressing rooms, spectators seats etc. for s5,0oo or ss.600, A talked ot | site is on the high school property an6 in the rear of that building, but al
