 Members of the athletic association of the high school got together Fri day and elected Richard Murray captain and Walter Hanley manager of next seasons basketball team. Both were elected unanimously. It was largely because of the sterling game put up by Murray in practically every encounter that this season's quintet hung up the best record in basketball annuals of the school. Murray and Hanley are members of the junior class. Capt. Murray's team promises to be strong one as only this season s captain, David Shepherd, is to be graduated As it looks now, the services of Tonon, Griffiths, Sul livan, Kuslansky and Bernardo will be again available, while there is much promising timber to call on in the student body
 A number of the women of the Current Events club and few others have been making standard surgical dressings for free distrihution to the hospitals in the war zone since last September. Six thousand of these dressings have been shipped to the headquarters of the surgical dressings committee in New York. The women have furnished their own material for these. Fifty dollars has been spent for new material and old. soft material worth at least that amount has been contributed. While the appalling need for these dressings far exceeds the supply, yet the workers feel that they have accomplished a little, at least, toward supplying that need. There will be a meeting for work on surgical dressings at the Current Events club Thursday at 30 D. m.
