St. Peters Church, Walls of Romulus, Via Appia, and the Catacombs, besides many other ruins, of

HIGH

SCHOOL

antiquity. The TieAvs were Aery fine and the students Avere delighted and grateful to ReA. Ellis for his showing them. One thing mentioned by Rev. Ellis Avas the origin of the Avord "deadhead" in its modern meaning. In the days when the gladiatorial fights in the Coliseum were at their height, it Avas the custo mto stamp complimentary tickets AA'ith a skull, Avhence those using these tickets were known as " deaths-heads" or "deadheads. " A mass meeting of the 1joa-s Avas held yesterday morning, the purpose of Avhieh Avas to induce the Freshmen to join the Athletic Association. Very feAV names were taken though, as the Freshmen are not much inclined to athletics this year. Seven out of

about thirty boys signed. As seAeral of the upper class boys ha'e dropped out, a large number of neAV names is needed to get the association "on its feet" again. Athletics, it is feared, Avill be a dead issue in a few years hence. It has been ultimately decided not to organize a school base-ball team this year. The base-ball enthusiasts will, though, organize 'an inter-class league, formed of class teams, and this Avill be aJL-the base-ball at high school this spring. Athletic interest is all taken up in field sports and from the looks of things now, several field meets will be participated in by the high school athletes.
