President William Heagy
presided at the meeting and, in ad-
dition to the regular program, a let
ter of appreciation from DR.. Eager
was read, as was a resolution prais-
ing the students of Edison for their
fine spirit of sportsmanship and
complimentinG them for the manly
way in which their team played in
the recent game with Camp Curtin.
This resolution was signed by Mr.,
Brehm and shows the spirit of
friendly rivalry and mutual respect
that has developed between the two
schools. Both these letters brought
forth hearty applause from the stu
derts of Edison.
During the activities period next
Tuesday afternoon all the captains
and traffic officers will meet Miss
Julia Ryan and Mr.. Grove in the
auditorium to arrange for the best
manner of carrying out fire drills.
The Red Cross Christmas Seals
We're placed on sale yesterday and
all the visible supply was taken up
almost instantly. In many cases stu
dents would have taken four times
as many stamps as were available.
More will be supplied to them Mon
day. The school is entering this
service with a most commendable
zeal and they will certainly receive
support from the public at large.
One room has set it's mark at 5000
seals.
An unusual program is announced
for the students neXt Thursday and
Friday, and because of this the au-
ditorium period of the second divi-
sion will occur on Thursday instead
of the regular time next Wednes-
day.
The lunch problem continues to
be a most difficult one for the
school because there is not room to
accommodate pupils who desire
to stay for the building on
account of crowded condi-
ton of the 81. Parents are
urged to haND ,deir children lunch
at home wherever this is possible.
This course is thought better for the
students, both from the standpoint
of health and economy.
