d very IHlcltSllnS du Get Together" meeting last night in the new school building. Some of the boys prefer to call it a Smoke less Smoker" but what ever the name it is certain that everyone had a big time. All members of the Athletic Association were present and participated in several interest ing events which were staged by the committee in charge of the pro- gram There were talks by the cap tain of the football team, Clement Hodges; the manager of the asso- citation, Wilbur Burford; the new boys athletic director, MT. Gem and various others too numerous to mention Several musical numbers were arranged for by the committee but were not presented because of the absence of piano. After the enjoyable program everyone was treated to those most necessary edi- bles which only boys know how to appreciate to the fullest, hot dogs and buns, coffee, and cakes by the score. Strange to relate there was such quantities of the "eats" that the boys could think of no better way to show their hearty good feel ings than by treating the girls who were found hungry and cold on "the outside looking in" It is planned to hold these little affairs occas- ionally and to interest every boy in school in the Boys Athletic Asso- citation and in the various sports.
 Student Body Elects
 The Student Body of the High Schools held business meetings this week and elected officers for the new term The Senior High School officers are to be as follows Presi- dent, Joe Acklen; Vice-President, Olive LaBounty; Secretary, Carlin Brotherton This organization prov ed to be such success during the past year that much is expected for the new term. Students of High School age should be taught to gov ern themselves for it has been an established fact that otherwise stu dents have the tendency to feel the lack of restraint when out of school.
 The Junior High School elected Edward Peltret, President; Lance Hendrickson, vice-president and liar ry Knudson, secretary. It is hoped that the organization in the Junior school will be as successful as has been the Senior body
 New Arm Chairs
 Students are quite interested in seeing the installation of fifty fine new oak tablet arm chairs in the recitation rooms of the High School. These were delayed in transit and have been needed badly. A ship ment of automatic seats for the Assembly Hall has been delayed but this commodious room will no doubt be completely equipped at an early date.
 Football Game in Sight A football game has been arrang- ed for between the boys of the Jun for and Senior High Schools. Some of the last years war horses, such as Hodges, Burford, Morgan and Torvinen will be barred from this game because of their weight. The boys of the first team hope to be able to arrange a game with any combination that can be gathered together providing such team will agree to bar players of more than ITO pounds in weight and over 21 years of age. MT. Gem has been working faithfully with small group of enthusiastic football play CTS and a good team will be put out if games can be arranged
 Visitors
 The Senior High School was very glad to welcome a group of five or six Seattle high school boys who have been working in this vicinity during the summer. The regular classes were visited and all pronounc- ed the new Juneau school building to any city far larger than Juneau. Students from other schools are al ways welcome to visit the Juneau school at any time and it is hoped that many others will come and see that Juneau offers advantages in school work that are source of sur prise to visitors from outside.
