School<br> <br> For the last ten years the Collegiate, located on Second East street, has been hampered by a lack of athletic grounds and dormitory rooms. The directors of the school have seen that the draw back would have to be remedied before the school could expand; and they have had two new buildings finished, and the plans drawn for a third. The new location is in the southeastern part of the city, and has a campus of about twenty acres. Converse Hall will be used as a recitation and assembly building; it contains about twenty-five recitation rooms and a library and reading room, and is heated by steam. <br> The Girls' dormitory is built of white brick and is finished at the pressent [present] time with the exception of boiler connections for heating purposes.

The players are entitled to the hearty support of the school, and in order to attain a high degree of success, substantial support will have to be given them. <br> The players of any school are but representatives of that institution and the victory or defeat they may make must either be a credit or a discredit to their school in the public estimation. Every scholar should feel a sufficient pride and interest in any undertaking of his or her school to co-operate to the fullest extent, in every possible manner for the success of that undertaking. <br> The sports in which the school participates should be attended by all the scholars-the games are sufficiently interesting to warrant such patronage and the players require from time to time, the applause and hisses of their friends in order to accomplish a creditable showing. <br> There is no reason, no good reason at least, why the Collegiate should not <br> [Continues on next page] <br><br>
