JOHN M. P1TZEN, State Investigator. ATHLETIC CLUB The two weeks in which the young people have used the gym have proved the popularity of this athletic program throughout the winter. However, each week brings out a different group, which makes it impossible to accomplish the purpose of this club, that is, to form permanent, teams to enter in club and inter-city competition. Therefore, the officers of this club, which was formed last spring, feel that in these two weeks of gym play those who have participated should have decided whether they wish to become permanent members or not. We hope that all those who wish to join shall be present this Thursday evening at 7:30 or call Cletus Althoff before Saturday.
