General SecretAryS Report
It has been the policy of our work
his past few months to make the
association real center of activity
The various departments Of work and
the varying things for promotion of
activity in order to have the work n
real success should be we'll patron
ized. With this end in view. we have
determined upon just certain features
and have attempted to make a sue
cess of them rather than attempting
100 much and having them of the
mediocre type.
The boys rooms have been much
better furnished than they We're.
upon the recommendation of the
hovs' committee which was reported
to the last board meeting additional
games. tables have been added,
, drinking fountain put in. a good list
! of magazines ordered for the boys
room alone. Since this has been done
, the connecting door between the
BOYS and the senior departments has
been closed and the boys make much
better use of their rooms than they
did the few weeks previous.
Our Boys secretary has been ac-
tive with the boys in promoting his
program and we feel the boys are
real boosters for their department.
The Gymnasium has been active
all during the month with good
program of classes. contests and
games. The committee has covered
it fully in his report
In the social line the Billiard sit
uation is much the same as the last
meeting. The tables are in bad
state and need repair but just what
to do with the various ideas that
have been advanced, we have not
yet determined.
Bowling has established a record
in March which will be hard to
break. 1t goes to show however Just
what results n little care and atten-
tia can produce. The bowlers are
highly clated at the treatment they
have received and have made plans
for banquet on the 10th.
The Methodist church came over
in full and according to their
report. had a fine evening-so good
in fact that the lights for this whole
A., section went off and we had to fin
ish the last hour and a half in dark
ness
After consultation with DR.. Pur-
mes Of st. Marks Church arrange
ments were made whereby the
knights of King Arth,lr-the boys
organization for boys of their church
vii have Il special hour for them
selves in the Gymnasium and SWIM
ming pool each week. We believe
in promoting the work of the Church
IN this way and aim to be Of service
to them by placing at their disposal
equipment which cannot be furnish
ed them in their own Church rooms.
The Ladies Department takes over
the building every Tuesday after
noon and evening. Miss Garside has
