HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
 WOULD GIVE DANCES
Basketball Games Too Short and
 Other Amusement Needed.

During the last month there has been much dissatisfaction shown among the students owing to the
 fact that the High school administra
 ton has not allowed the basketball
 management to have dancing after the
 basketball games. Last year dancing
 was permitted but so far this season
 the games have been played without
 this added attraction. The adminis- tration within the minds of many
 holds the right viewpoint in this matter, and their claims that dancing, since the game themselves draw large crowds, would commercialize the school, by drawing an entirely out side crowd, is very true.
 The mana cement claims that while the games draw large crowds, the games themselves are short and at their close there is something to be desired. This is the one and only way to appease the wishes of the fol- lowers of the team to spend pleasant evening in diversified amusement and if possible the management will try to obtain permission to have dancing after the games.
 There is talk of circulating a peti- tion in order to have this attraction added to the games. As yet there has been no petition sent around and: whether the administration would rel ceive a petition favora bly, is a ques- ton. I
 Editors Assigned.
 The class book editors have re- Ceived their assignments and work has been started of writing up a personal sketch of each student in the class. The editors have sworn together that ! no news or anything which will appear in the 1915 edition will be known be- 1 fcre the book is put on sale.
 While the election of prophet, I prophecies historian, etc, has been I postponed the interest rather waxes i than Wanes and a number of new 1 candidates have appeared in the field. l However, above all other elections, l the dedication of the class book to 1 one of the faculty creates the most i interest. At present Marshall F. | Davis is being most prominently men, toned for this honor. Miss Ward, Miss McGuiness and William E. Fay have also been mentioned, MT. Davis has taught the school longer than his Colleagues, WHlCn puts IllHl llISl III 1 the minds of the students. He has put athletics where they are and has helped maintain the schools standard | ir this line, and he has devoted l practically all his spare time to the 1 benefit of the school. No one can better testify than the students who have been in personal contact with him as to his deservedness for the honor of the class book dedication. A man, who has made his home in New Britain, and has h1s heart and 1 soul in his work for the school and 1 the senior class, MT. Davis well merits the honor in partial return for many good works he has performed for the class.
