Aftrr several months of work.if ,hp Alumni Directory, consisting | «,„<• hundred anil eighty-five grndu-, ate> "f the Ocean City High School jf has heen completed. Prof. K. E.j(| t'nger, physical director of the , ^ Octai i ' ly public schools, early in I Ihe Fall, conceived the idea that it u would l-c a fine thing if the school , had a directory of all the graduates of the Ocean City high school ^ since I MM, when tlie first class was ( graduated. The directory contains h all the names of the graduates up i„ the close of 1922 inclusive. Tne £ -director > does not only consist of!'' the n imcs, but where they secured jc their fuithcr education, and where j they are at this time and in just ^ what lines of activity they are now a Ill was not as easy aL task as one would have thought for i ^ Prof, t'nger to procure this infor-|t( motion- He procured the names t from the office of the Superintend- y ent »f Schools, but the. remaining data was lacking. He carri^l thi* 1 1 list of names around with him and (| interviewed those whom he thought . , would know something about his ' or her classmate. One would have, ^ naturally thought that a member of a certain class woulil know just ■ where most of the other members j s were. This was found not to lie I ^ Prof. Unger mode many person- jal calls at homes, used telephones and in some instances he found it ; necessary to correspond with those 0 who had left town. u A number of the local Alumni j g have expressed themselves by stat- y ing that it would be a good Idea a ;o have a liooklet printed, containing the names of the graduates, r together with the names of the tl present faculty anil send one to h each of the one hundred and eighty li lite graduates. sIt has liecn learned that 300 copies can he made up for about *50.00, by one of tho local priiit- ... ing plants. There have been twen- )i ty-five of the local Alumni who g •aid tlicy would each contribute a ^ dollar. If the remaining amount can be raised the booklet will lie c printed. Prof. Unger has received praised from SupL James W. Stevens, fori, his very excellent work. j , it might be said however, that',, Mr. James M. Stevens liecame Sup-' h erintendent of the Ocean City pub- 1 * lie schodfc in 1903, and it was o through him that the high school , p course was instituted and the first ;c class was graduated in 1904. j t The following are the names of , p the graduates ' of the classes of j s 1904-5-G.

.COUNTY INSTITUTE MONDAY. |f I HOLIDAY FOR THE SCHOOLS ji ! Next Momlny the schools will l>e j ' J closed and consequently the chil- 1 I dren will enjoyvanothcr vaeation. teachers, both of the gram- ^ mar and high school, will enjoy an auto ride to Cape May Court House ! attend the County Institute. To | some it may seem strange that an j •' institute of this kind is held at this l time of the year when it usually is j u held in the Fall. True, in previous | ' years lie institute was held in the!'" Fall and convened for two days in '' succession. But the law wasp' ! changed so that the time was dc-jl ■ vided. One day comes along early jc the school year and a day later >li | along toward the end of the school ] term. This change was made to ! give the teachers an opportunity j to discuss different school matters i that would come up during the I j, 1 year. ijj The rule prescribed by the State 1 of Education is that "all j £ j teachers are required to attend the ! Annual Institute, iield for the *' ! county in which they are teach- j '' I Therefore don't anyone think j '' | that a few of us will stay at home j a ; and save the change we shall | ' j spend for the auto to convey us to [ ' ! House. So on next Monday ; '' j morning all the teachers will say | 11 i "good bye" to the citizens and chil- ^ dren of Ocean City. And don't you | n i know we have 'to lie there at 9.30 j * o'clock. If we come in late, why, are liable to lie called upon the P , caipct licfore E. K. Brun- " vat®, the County Superintendent fi and present an excuse. 1 " Well, after all, the teachers ile . c' rive a great ileal of lienefit fremiti institutes; it brings the!', tenchcrs closer together and they ! b i learn what is lieing done in other 8 -f-h , 11 WOULDN'T THIS JAR YOUT j" I.ast Friday the members of theteam were all in .a *tew. were flying up and down the : h hulls of learning, inquiring where! arc wc going to play Cape May tomorrow, (Saturday)? ^ Others were chasing around the r town looking for a suitable place to piny. It all came about when „ ' the grounds were broken for the t j new high school building. The boys t been practicing for the past t ! several days on the present site p of the new school ami expected to v play their opening game there with , Cape May City tomorrow, not # thinking that they would be de- ^ prived of the use of the grounds so t j Since the old base ball park was j sold and cut up into lost, and the ^ jnow athletic field not being com- j, plcted. the boys are out of luck j, I a diamond. •] j Finally after much bustling ami .. j hurrying around, lift* use of the c Somcr's Point field was secured. |, ' From all indications. It looks as if t ! we will have to play our games in t ' Point. j v --■I |— , I j COACH CLAIR TUE JOB; i> GREAT K.iSULTS EXPECTED;" About the same time th. the j t school news went to press last! i »k, Latham MacGregor, a mem- f of the base bnll squad, got in v touch with Johnny Clair, and to- c rated his where: outs. An ac- t count was given in the news last (| week, inquiring if any one had seen Johnny Clair. Well, Johnny Is now with us and * been otu on the diamond every evening with the fellows for the " past week. He is doing a splendid work and by the way he is putting " lads through the practice, he shows that he knows the gpme from A to Z. He is well liked by j fellows and they all think well of him. We should all appreciate kinilness in taking an interest the boys and devoting his spare b time in training them. Now fellows, it is up to you to h get out every night and practice ( some of the fundamentals as your f coach will instruct you. If you f practice and train carefully, you will win out If you do not, then £ will not I* the coach's fault, ^ your own. ' Johnny Clair is not only a good v coach, but M is a good player. He f l played played short stop on the t .Jersey City club in the Eastern 1 j for two years; also he r ! coached the West Hoboken High t I School base ball nine. | I PLAY P'VILLE SATURDAY ! The Ocean City High School o ball team will play the Pleas- c ! antville high at Pleasantville next t Saturday. After O. C. H.

| they have been out. this week prac-' ticing faithfully, under the tutor-! juge of Johnny Clair, and the boys | are determined to bring home the: i Idg eml of the score. . LEGION ENTERTAINS SCOUTS* A number of our schol boys who! are members of the Boy Scouts, 1 ; entertainejl by the American!' 1-egion in the Progressive league i I lust Thursday evening. The j boys reported, thutthey were royally entertained. Certainly it is ! fine that we have some who are j interested in the boys and are will- ' ! ing to help them to the extent of j 1 their limited means. THE NEW SCHOOL GO UP | . All the students will watch with! interest the "progress of the new , 1 j high school, Which will be built!' the plot of ground between j ' | and Sixth streets, Ocean and ! 1 | Atlantic avenues. The ground was : ' | last Thursday. The chil- 1 ' j dren look upon the completion of ' ! the new building with so much in- ' j crowd of them aroufiTT, observing ! 1 i the workmen at tlieir work. ANNUAL FIELD DAY , 1 A big problem which is con- ■ | fronting Physical Director Unger, !l Stevens ami the Board of|| i Education, is finding a suitable 1 1 ; place on which to hold the annual I I Field Day Festival. In previous j t ; years it was held on the old base j I ball purk. Eighth and Bay streets,;! j but recently this land has been sold I : j and cut up into lots, which mokes j < i it impossible to hold the festival j , | there. It is feared that the pro- 1 1 I posed new athletic field, which is i < be located between Fifth and ' j Sixth, Bay ami Haven avenues, will ' i | not be completed in time for the 1 1 i festival. • i The ground between the Munici- ! , pal tennis courts and the board- 1 1 j walk, known ar the Ocean City j : casting ground, will be an ideal place if the ground will inmore firmer by the time of ^ j the coming event. The newly filled ( I in ground is quite soft and it will , 1 some time liefore the sum! and gravel will become hard. Two or three other places havej, inspected but none of them | I seem to be suitable, eithr being too ! small or too rough. — I — I — 1 1 REPORT CARDS INDICATE LACK OF REGULAR. STUDY 1 From the appearance of a num- j of the high school student's report cards which they received last Friday, it looks as though ! some of them need to devote a little more time upon the preparation of their subjects. To find out the exact number of failures or percentage in the various classes would require considerable time. As a result of the mid-year examination there were thirty-two , out of seventy-nine members of , this years Freshman class who failed to pass their examinations. seems that man of our pupils, students), take school as a juke ami godness knows, the showit when it comes to examinations. do not concentrate their minds upon their lessons, as many c-f their instructors did in days of , ago. Of course there are things existing today that attract their attention from their school work which did not exist in days i gone by, when your teacher and i your parents went to school. The | automobile, movies and parties : I seem to be the greatest hinderance : to good school work. A number of , jour pupils are letting these things come first, before their school work, and after attending to these engagements they find there is no time left to put on. that which is . most important in life. So boys anil girls, if you expect good marks, you must sacrifice some of your pleasures and put time upon your studies. Don't kjamo the teachers for your poor marks, but put the blame upon yourselves. A. J. F. CLUB TO HOLD BIG DANCE AT NORTH FIELD The A. J. F. Club has always been known to do big things, and one of their big things will occur tomorrow night, when they will a ilance at the Northfield Club. This will be a star feature in the club's programme of festivities for this Spring. The dance will be featured with several novelties. There will be an exhibition ilance and also a lucky, favor dance with trophies worth winning. The members have been planning and looking forward to this event for the past month. are under a heavy expense — rental, orchestra, refreshments and trophies and your support is solicited and the club members as-, sure you a pleasant evening. Although the club has been out of a club house lately, it has not ceased from meeting. Several places are being investigated by the club and the boys expect to move Into a summer club house in ,ja few weeks.

si GEORGE AND EDWIN HAVE EXPERIMENT WITH UIZZIE Two mpro of our high school e l>os have* gone wrong. George ! Gardiner,- a Senior, and another; I chap who doesn't know quite as; S much, Edwin Ilaron, a Sophomore,' 0j drove a Tin Lizzie over to Atlan-; i. f tic City last Friday and they bluff-; „ i e«l the agent into the act of grant--e i ing each of them a drivers license. ejlf it hadn't Ireen for Johnny and; . 'his aunt's Tin Lizzie, they probably s' wouldn't have gone wrong. Johnny! e was up early and by the sweat of . his brow, and the musi les of his . f I Irony frame, he chopped up about; a cprd of wood for his aunt, after! | which he asked her fur her car. Of course she couldn't refuse1 jhim after having labored so ilili-j * I gently. , | Now comes the funny part of; , the story. George anil Edwin never t ' operated anything more than a ,! wheel-barrow before. They motorlied out into the country where they; ; ! as free from traffic as they . I would Ire on the boardwalk on ai r cold February night. First George | . I took the wheel then Edwin would j , try his skill. They ran her on low and then ] ran her on high. They learned to 'cut nil sorts of figures, Circles, figi urc eight and some figures that are * j not dcscribahle. Suddenly one or ,|the other of them accidently stepr | ped too hard on tho gas, and away ; j they sailed right over a hedge i - 1 1 fence into a farmer's yard. After; i some time they managed to occupy l s the road again. Then- Johnny, who ! Jhntl fainted from fright, came toj I and said; "1 guess I had better! i ! drive Lizzie if w-e expect to get to; I Atlantic City, particularly if I cx-j - pect to arrive home in the samel ■ ; condition which I left." I They reached their destination j I -.and. after George and Edwin had, : ' told all the things which they knew; lan dsome they didn't know about j . horseless carriage, they received ri -I-!— ARBOR DAY "j Tomorrow is Arbor Day.

The 1 plot unfolded itself in a humorous e manner, receiving great measure of s applause from the audience. s Every member of the cast was ' confident of themselves and acted ■ in the production as though they ' were perfectly at home.
