C0NY HIGH NOTES

The present status of plans for
the Washington trip were received
with great interest manifested by all
concerned at the high school Friday.
II all plans mature there will be
about thirty-five seniors who will
make the trip, accompanied by Prln-
cipal Everett Perkins and Miss Ethel
Raymond of the faculty. The mem
bers of the senior class making the
trip were very agreeably surprised
to learn that the Cony party Will
stop at the same hotel to be occupied
by the members of the senior class
of the High School at South Man
chester, Connecticut. BY a Coinci-
dence Clarence z. Quimby. former
principal of Cony, is now the princi-
pal of the South Manchester institu-
ton. Principal Quimby is to be in
charge of the party from his school,
so the trip to Washington Will also
have the nature OF reunion to the
Cony seniors.
Manager Robert Sawyer of the
Cony baseball team gave talk on
season tickets FOR the students at the
regular assembly Friday morning.
He pointed out that it was really
duty of the students as a whole to
purchase a season ticket and thereby
assure the team Of financial support
for the coming season. He stated
that, after buying {. ticket the
students should use them, for stout
cheering combination is largely in.
strumental in the good showing OF
any team. The team, with the pro-
per backing by the students should
develop into a formidable outfit and
win it's share of the seasons games.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished Aby musical trio, consisting
of Miss Gertrude Thorne, piano, Or

Busuue, violin.
