The first meeting of the High School

assistant, treasurer, Edward KeaBbey
’04. Executive Committee, Edgar H.

Adalino Wight, ’04.
About thirty members were present
at the. meeting, at which ways and
means were discussed for forming a
football team. There is plenty of
good material in the school at the
present and there is no reason why a
good team, worthy of representing the
sohool, should not be formed. All
interested are requested to be on hand
Monday afternoon to make prelimin
ary arrangements towards organiza
tion.
Plans were also considered for hold
ing a field meet some time during the
latter part of October or the early
part of November. The meet will be
similar to the one held in the spring.
The program of events will be very
much the same and the class winning
the greatest number of points will
receive a banner, with its numerals
thereon. A bronze medal will be
awarded to the individual piling up
the most points. The meet last spring
was very snccessim ana tne associa
tion hopes to repeat that success this
autumn. Next spring a meet will be
held at which time the various olassos
will contest for the honor of having
their numerals engraved on the silver
loving cup presented to the school by
the class of 1908 for that purpose.

WORK SLACK,
SAM PARKS
IS BLAMED.
Terra Cotta Men Are Laid Off
and Say New York Trouble
is Cause.
prosperous!/ inter.
Within the last few days a number
of the local terra cotta factories have
laid off a number of employes both in
the plaster and pressing and finishing
departments. The reason for this is
puzzling the men.
Now that all the labor troubles are
about over in New York, work at the
local factories has been very DriBk,
the men have even been working over
time. It is said that the orders that
had been received, are now all finish
ed at the local plant, bnt that the
finishers cannot go ahead with their
work of erecting the terra cotta in
New York because of the hostile action
of Sam Park’s organization, the
Housesmith's and Bridgemen’s Union.
Parks is the convicted walking dele
gate in New York. It is expected
from the latest reports received, that
all this trouble will be settled.
The terra cotta employes expect this
to be one of the most prosperous
winters ever experienced here for they
say that the work, so long delayed,
by all the labor troubles, all over the
country, will be settled before the
first of October and business will pick
np.
