The students are not marked some school athletic ac-alone ac-alone in the demonstrations, the conference body said. Townspeople Towns-people of the four schools have been guilty as well in several : instances. The booing of offic- ials and of players came in for denunciation. The group decided decid-ed that articles in the town papers, pap-ers, and in the school papers as well as a distribution of leaflets containing the sportsman's creed might help to eliminate this undesirable un-desirable condition. Exchange Assemblies The conference group decided to revive the custom of exchange assemblies. It was decided that the programs be made up of high standard numbers and maintained maintain-ed at this level. The program chairman of each school was I named on the committee to work out details. Expensive corsages for the dances of the four schools were discussed. The girls present expressed ex-pressed themselves as favoring less expensive corsages. Girls neither demand nor desire orchids, orch-ids, was the opinion voiced, as the average girl, they said, fully realized the financial burden placed upon her escort. Individuality Individ-uality and originality of flower design counts more than price, said the girls. Too late in the season to do much good to eliminate conflict of dates of major school social events this year, the body decided decid-ed to recommend to the student officers of next year the advisability advisa-bility of posting a district calendar cal-endar in each of the schools.
