The gvmnasium was no ; only to be for High -School boys , but atso the boys from all of tbe other public schools in tbe city . In one of these meeting the tollowtng officers wei I ' elected : S . R . Fulmore , presiden ."; Arthur Wooldridge , vice president ; Paul Smith , secretary : Howard Key , treasurer . The president immediately appointed a bey from eacb class in the Higb School to represent
IS class in the business mee . ings . The cbairman wrote out a constitution for the asscc . attor- , which was adopted . and t neu a few by-laws were made .
