HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(BY SPEEDY

A meeting of the Senior class of the
Bridgeport High school was called
yesterday to satisfy the protests of the
Jewish element absent at the last
meeting, when officers were elected
Newly elected President Lavery called
the meeting to order and resigned in
company with the other recently elect
ed officers. Lavery made it plain that
he nor the other officers were not
forced to resign but thought it was
fair to give the absent element fair
chance on the ballot. The chair was
then handed over to Raym ond
Bellew last years president.
stormy protest was then filed by the
two contesting elements as to whether
the designations would be accepted or
not.
Finally the designations were ac-
copied by a bare majority.
Nominations were then in order for
president. Oscar Lavery was nomi-
mated. Almost instantaneously mo-
ton was made and seconded to close
the polls. This motion was passed
and Lavery was declared president by
a unanimous election. The same thing
took place when Catherine Murphy
was elected on a single ballot
/. Irene Broderick was nominated for
secretary, and a motion was made TO
close the polls. A tumult of noise was
then heard from the faction who
wished to elect Mary Kelly on a sin
gle ballot. After order was called by
Chairman Bellew. Mary Kelly was
nominated and a motion was made to
close the polls.
A. hot election followed and Mary
Kelly was elected by 125 ballots to 81
for Irene Broderick.
Berkwit was nominated for treas
urer and a protest was raised as to
whether mid-year seniors coud be
elected or not. Miss Kelly, faculty ad-
wiser for the class, ruled that a mid
year senior could not vote or be elect
ed, therefore. Berkwit was ruled out.
The following candidates were nom1-
mated for treasurer: Harold Roberts,
Robert Rock and Alex Hamilton.
Robert Rock was elected by a great
majority
The meet ting was adjourned uniting
both Factions OF the class for the en-
suing year. The same officers as were
elected at the protested meeting were
again installed.
