Mike Ryan to Conduct
Series Prep Practice Meets
Waterville Can't Compete

me dual track and field meet he.
tween Oak Grove Seminary and Wa.
terville High school, which was r.
be held Saturday afternoon. Feb
~. has been indefinitely postnoned
because of the fact that the High
school team, having failed to get the
sanction of the superintendent OF
schools, will not be permitted to
compete. In place of the protected
meet. a practice meet will be held
between Lawrence High school q,
Fairfield and the teams from Oak
Grove.
This is the first of a series of such
contests which are to be conducted
by Coach Michael ]. Ryan to develou
track athletics in the high schools
and preparatory schools of this re.
gion. This branch of athletics is
not fostered here and as CoIby
favors such sport among the schools
she is willing to do what she can to
further the advancement of the
sport Owing to the lack of suitable
gymnasium facilities, it is not DOS
slble to hold an indoor meet such as
Is held each year in Brunswick, and
SO Coach Ryan has worked out this
scheme whereby it is proposed to
hold a series of meets in the gym
naslum and on the board track
through the winter so that teams
representing the various schools OF
this region may get together and
may start work in the line of this
branch of sport.
The Lawrence High school team
has been at work for sometime, and
has been using the Colby track. II
is expected that the practice meet
to be held Saturday will be one of in
terest, although it was gotten I'D by
Coach Ryan on the spur of the mo-
ment, after the WaterviIle.Oak
Grove meet fell through. It is hoped
that in the near future, teams from
Waterville High, Lawrence High, and
Oak Grove will meet teams from the
other schools nearby in meets to be
held Saturday afternoons through
the winter.

Rotary Anniversary
and Ladies' Night

The Rotary Club observed ladies'
night and Rotary anniversary night
as we'll at their meeting Friday eve
ming at the Elmwood Hotel, which
was a very delightful affair. Each
gentleman was accompanied by a
lady and at each lady's plate was
laid beautiful rose. Considerable
amusement was created when each
member introduced his wife by her
pet name and she in turn rose and
very distinctly responded with the
pet name of her husband.
Three newmember were intro
duced, Alton D. Blake of the L. H.
Soper Company, Carl c. Piper OF
Merrill & Mayo Co., and George w
Hinckley of the Good VIII Farm,
who was made an honorary member
George w. MARI was reported by the
committee on fellowship as being the
only member of the club who has
never missed meeting and he was
presented with q gold pencil in
recognition of his faithfulness and
loyalty.
Last evening was the 10Th ami
versary of Rotary, which was found
ed by one man, Paul Harris of Chi
cago, who had desire for better
fellowship. The real basis of the or
ganization is friendship and out of
that has grown the idea of service to
the individual and to the COM
munity. The Rotary clubs, which
are now established all over the
world, have done many notable
things for the good OF mankind
There are now 500 clubs and $4,000
members. - 70 7.
George w ,Hinckley of Good Will
spoke briefly. He, expressed his ap-
probation of the honor done him in
making him an honorary member of
the club and said that he understoo
fully that their greeting and honor
to him was all due to the fact that he
made a fortunate investment in his
early life when he decided to invest
his energy in philanthropic work.
That investment was based upon
this general proposition" said Mr..
Hinckley,7 eff a boy through disaster
and unfortunate environment is
likely to join the forces of evil and if
through well directed benevolence
his environment is changed and he
joins the forces of Righteousness,
two things have been accomplished
at a single stroke, the world has
been protected from evil which the
boy might have done through all the
years of his life and the world will
be benefited by all the good which
he will accomplish in the years of
his manhood" Mr.. Hinckley said
that he made the best,of investments
and would do the same thing again
if he had his life to live over.
Two committees were appointed,
one the Onto Boston" committee,
which will make arrangements for
delegates to attend the annual con-
ference of Rotary Clubs of the New
England district, which will be held
in Boston on March 80 and 81. This
will consist of DR.. +. T. Hill, Samuel
Freeman of this city and Ralph
Jewell of Fairfield. The other, a
registration committee, consists of
Herbert c. Libby. Horace True Muz-
