The committee consisting of
Mary Mitchell, Harvey Ferguson.
and Harry Greene, appointed at
the last meeting to decide upon a
date for play to be given in the
opera House, reported that Friday
March 26, had been selected as the
most convenient date. 1t has not
been definitely decided what the
play shall be but it was suggested
that an abbreviated form of one of
Shakespeare's dramas be given.
This would give the people of New
ark an entirely different form of
the home talent plays which have
become so numerous during the
past few years. The proceeds of
both the bake and play will 60 to
the Athletic Association.
1t is not yet known whether the
new Armory will be finished in
time for basketball but if it is the
local school will be required to pay
a large sum of money to rent it for
the season. Manager Ritz has sew
eral games scheduled to be played
IN Newark if the Armory can be
secured, and the girIs of the school
are planning strong schedule
under the same conditions.
The base ball team for the com
ing year should be the strongest in
the history of the school. With
Ritz, catcher; Chillas, pitcher; I;
Ferguson, second base; Anderson,
short stop; Capt. Greene, third
base; Wilson and Davis, outfield-
ers, from last years team, and
good material in last years scrubs
and this year s Freshman class, the
school should have an extra strong
nine.
Manager Chillas is trying to ar
range the strongest schedule the
local school has ever attempted and
it will require some hard work by
the Athletic Association to secure
funds to complete the schedule.
