search of a suitable location for field 
maneuvers the coming summer. Af- 
ter visiting one of the Manchester 
sites they decided that there was not 
a field which would be available be- 
cause of the room needed for the exe- 
cution of the artillery drills. A 
ineadow permitting the free maneu- 
vering of about 50 horses and men 
with two or three field pieces is need- 
ed. Sites in Wenham and Hamilton

The school gardens are all under 
way at the grounds on School street. 
There are 118 plots which have been 
taken by the children and are under 
cultivation. Most of the pupils take 
a keen interest in their gardens and 
spend quite a little time in caring for 
them. Andrew Lee supervises the 
work. Several of the vegetable gar- 
dens have a crop alre ady well above 
the ground; a few flower gardens 
are flourishing and all are remarkably 
free from weeds. Prizes will be 
offered in 25 different classes by the 
North Shore Horticultural Society 
when the products of the gardens are 
exhibited some time in August. 
Story High School alumni are 
urged to co-operate in making the en- 
tertainment in Town hall next Thurs- 
day evening a success. Upon the suc- 
cess or failure of the Thursday even- 
ing party will depend in a large de- 
gree the future of the organization. 
If not enough interest is shown in the 
entertainment the officers of the asso- 
ciation will cease their efforts to re- 
vive it. There is no reason why the 
re-union planned for next Thursday 
should not be a success if the grad- 
uates will show a little interest. The 
program is certainly one to induce a 
good attendance and assure a good 
time for those who attend. Besides 
a great variety of entertainment there 
will be dancing for those who ‘care
