BOYS ARE CHOSEN
=
FOR MEMBERSHIP
TO Boys CLUB

The 100 boys who will be the first
members Of the new Waterville Boys
Club were chosen yesterday afternoon
at meeting of the administration
committee in the city building, and
anyone who has any idea that any dis
elimination has been made has only
to read the names. Surely a more cos
mopolftan group of boys could not be
found anywhere. Included in the 100
are boys born of English. French,
irish. Scotch. Jewish and Syrian pa
rents. There are almost an equal
number of Catholics and Protestants
Race, religion, Wealth and all Of the
other things that some people think
make distinction will be forgotten
In every way.
This is how the administration
committee selected the names of the
hrst 100 boys. There We're about $50
applications for membership at hand.
THESE applications were sorted into
groups. Seven of the groups were the
boys living in the different wards of
the city and an eighth group consisted
or Fairfield boys. First the group for
Ward was numbered. An equil num-
Der of slips containing numbers cor
responding to the applications were
placed in pasteboard box and Mayor
Leon o. Tebbetts drew out IL Sins
after the box had been shaken thor
oughly. The numbers drawn were
compared with the applications and
these IL boys were the first members
of the new club. This same process
was continued until 81 names had been
chosen Then the Fairfield names we're
put In and three drawn. making a total
of 81 boys The remainder will be
