HiPOND HIGH SCHOOL IS PACKED TO THE GUARDS
The enrollment In the Hammond high school 1 237 students. Th. actual number taking the work Is 225, the original number having ben reduced by 12 because ot the opening: of All Saints' high school. Thirty-seven new students were added to the high school at the opening of the- second semester, two weeks ago, but this -number Is Included in the 225 now attending. There being only 180 seats in the assembly room for 225 students, classrooms have to be used for study rooms. The conditions consequently are not ideal and the school authorities are looking forward to the day when Hammond will maintain a separate bujlding for a -high school. The school board Is willing to build, but its hands are tied by the state law which allows a bonded indebtedness of only 2 per cent of the value of the school city. As the situation is .now, the board could issue about $65,000 worth, of bonds, but this is not deemed sufficient to buy a site and also undertake -to build. - About 1 10,000 .wort n of bonds will be paid off in the ar future.' thus
bringing the bonding possibilities up
to $75,000.
Scholarship Arrrncea SO Per Cent. Final examinations in the high school were completed week before last, and now that the papers have been graded and a general average taken of all the students for their work, it is found that the average scholarship is 87 per cent, a figure of which the school may be quite proud. While the semi-annual graduation system, by which students may complete their studies in either three and a half or four years, has been introduced into the local high school it has not been long enough in existence to produce any graduates. It is hoped, however, that eventually only those who are forced by necessity to complete
In three and a half years wil avail themselves of this system. In South Bend, for. Instance, 65 per cent of the students are tsJclng the five year course. About sixty-five new students will come into the high school from the grades next fall. A shower bath to be used by the boys In the grades and the high school, especially those taking the athletic work, has been Installed and is an accommodation that is being greatly appreciated. '

With a view south on Hohman street and on Sibley street, this room is one of the most attractive in the suite. East of the main clubroom will be the billiard and poolroom, which is large enough to accommodate a billiard and pool table. Off from this room is the gentlemen's toilet, which is equipped with a shower bath. In addition to these rooms there is a serving room of large proportions where banquet and lunches may be prepared and served. Eventually it is expected that a large room will be fully equipped as a cafe and the members will have a place where they can bring their friends and business associates for lunch and dinner. To Incur No Debts. Plans are now on foot which. It Is
believed, will result in the complete furnishing of the club so that by the time the rooms are occupied the club will not have a single dollar's indebt
edness. The University club is purely a social organization, and as such it is
alone in the field in Hammond. , The
bonds- of good fellowship have kept its membership together during the first three years of its history in spite of the . fact hat It has been quartered in rooms that are entirely Inadequate, and, now that the project for the new club rooms is approaching a successful consummation, the future is roseate.

His presence of mind and chivalry were appreciated, for it would not have been many minutes more before all of the hair on her head would have been on fire.

E. J. Bufflngton, president of the Indiana Steel company, said that the formation of the T. M. C. A. organization in Gary was one ot the' greatest epochs in Its history. The event was classed in Importance with the opening of the harbor on Lake Michigan, the completion of the first unit of the steel mills and other things of equal importance. President Bufflngton realised, ' Ilka other big men of the country, that edu. cated, moral young men are the greateste asset that a city can have. It is likely that Judge E. H. Gary realised that fact when he donated $100,000 to endow a local home to be erected during the coming spring, and that his motive in making the gift was not entirely unselfish. An investment In good young men, who In later years
will supercede those now operating the great steel plant In Gary, brings enormous returns. - There were seventy-five charter members enrolled at .the meeting held in the assembly room of the Jefferson school on Friday night. Before these men who will constitute the leaders of the movement In Gary what the meaning of an association of this character was mentally absorbed by them from speakers who had been associated in the work for years. In the words of W. C Belman: "Those who Join the T. M. C. A. must remember that the Institution Is not a boarding house, or a dormitory, or a gymnasium, but is organised for and founded upon the principle of Christian fraternity." ;

The club expects to occupy Its new quarters within the next sixty days and already plans are on foot for one of the most elaborate social affairs that the city has ever known on the occasion of the opening of the club rooms. Club Rooms SamptnOBi. , It is doubtful if there will be more sumptuous club rooms west of South Bend and north of Lafayette than the University club will have when It Is finally located in its new quarters. - No pains or expense are being spared to make the new rooms the most comfortable and beautiful in this locality.
The rooms ara being planned with the idea of having perfect harmony in the
i furnishings, decorations and scheme of
lighting. The clubs rooms will not be
ornate rather the aim Is towards elegant simplicity and a maximum degree
of comfort.
The clubs rooms will be entered
through a. reception hall of liberal size.
On one side will be the men's cloak

fumed oak, with beamed ceilings and will containa fire place, with Ingle nooks on either side. Ball Room a Beauty. To the north of the main club room will be a ballroom, 30x54 feet In size. This will be equipped with a stage for the orchestra, whih may also be used for minstrel shows and amateur theatricals.

ered that another couple, a white man, accompanied by a woman, were attempting to pass a forged check in the business district. The business men, however, were too wise, and warned by the police were doubly careful. The stranger finally entered Arkin's jewelry store and presented a check for $70. It was a check on a local bank, the names of W. O. Paxton and E. C Minas having been used. Mr. Arkin asked a little time to inquire, but the forger left the store under a pretense and did not. return. Mr. Arkin notified the police of the suspicious character, but little could be done just then, as all the available men had been ordered out to round up the negro. Forges Lavene'n Name.

was being pursued, began to' run and cut through the marsh at the Coal storage plant and from there cut diagonal

REV. W. J. VIGUS DEAD Demise Laid to Efforts as Mayoralty Candidate. i Wabash. Ind., Feb. 7. The Rev. Dr. W. J. Vigus, 74 yearsold, field secretary of the Winona Lake Assembly, one of the most noted Methodist ministers In Indiana, and who was twice presiding elder of the Northern Indiana Conference, died yesterday. He was republican candidate for mayor last fall and his political efforts probably hastened his death..
and the Hammond Business Men's association will come to a pretty definite
conclusion as to the, question of public
policy in this matter.
Incidentally the fact is again proven that the relations of the cities of Ham
mond, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor are so close that amalgamation is
Inevitable sooner or later. The meeting is to be held In Weis1
hall, and it is to be regretted that the
representatives from the neighboring cities, which have proven themselves
progressice enough to build a Com
mercial club building, will be compelled to meet the Hammond Business Men's association in a room not their own. 0.1TESION A VITAL ONE. But the Hammond men will make the best of the poor facilities for holding meetings, and it is expected that the interest in the question itself will be sufficient to attract a large crowd. 'The question that will have to be settled is something as follows: "Is It a matter of public policy for the cities of Hammond. East Chicago and Indiana Harbor to grant a franchse through the viaduct under the Gibson
yards and on Forsythe avenue. East Chicago, to the Hammond. Whiting & East Chicago line, or to the Gary & Interurban line? Representatives of both companies will be at the meeting and will make speeches in favor of their respective
companies. The matter is one of the
most vital that has come up for con sideration in some time.
