Behind the Project

Another donor mentioned by Chair man Bulger is the school board. The members voted to contribute i,f60 to the fund Those who attended the several affairs arranged as benefits to the athletic fund in a measure helped the project In fact the citizens were behind the plan to giva the school one of the finest athletic grounds in eastern Connecticut else it never would have become a reality.
 Mir Bulgcr expressed great satis- faction that all bills are paid with balance of Si5.7l in the treasury. This signifies the careful and econ omie way in which the directors of the improvement program adminfs- tered their trust.
 There were many details to be carried out. Chairman Bulger and his assistants worked hard and faith fullv to the end that the field should be ready for the first football game Of the fall season. The game has been played. The field is duly com missionod. The only recompense of those who worked 50 arduousiy to bring this about is the satisfaction of accomplishment and the know ledge of a work well done.

New Playground at Putnam High School Put in
 Commission
Generous Cooperation Put Project
 Over

The new athletic field at Putnam High School was used for the first time last Saturday, There were no dedicatorv exercises. The opening of the grounds is an event in school annals and ia recognition of the importance of school athletics.
 John H. Bulger. chairman of the building committee of the town school board. has been especially ac- tive in bringing about the cuimina- ton of the project so long consider ed and for the past year or more in process of development Mir. Bulger took a just pride in seeing the new grounds commissioned when the F. II. s. football team met Northbridgs High. Saturday, September 27th. One of the outstanding features concerning the whole proceedings is that all bills are paid and there is a small balance in the treasury.
 in an interview as to the establish ment of the new athletic field Mr. Bulger said that in a large way tho taxpayers, student body of the school and town officials are indebted to Putnam Lodge of Elks for their gem arous contributions of $i.4f3.71 towards the contract price of S2,- 500. This cleared the way for the initial breaking of ground and starting actual work following what had heretofore been q dubious out < fnak
