This team beat the Academy team last year in the league championship series but the red and white is out for revenge this year The folder from the Colonial Danes has been posted on the school bulle- tin board The first prize, twenty dol lars, was divided between Miss Helen 4. Drew of Sheldon High school and R. G. Moves of the Academy. The second prize, ten dollars. went to a Bulkeley boy Ernest s. Whiting. His subject was The Place ana Work of Newspaper in Colonial Times.

The title of the winning essays was Wo- mans Share in the Founding and De- velopment of the Colonies
 Friday morning Mir. Elwen, N. F. A., '07, gave the students a brief talk on the Liberty loan. In opening he said that he proposed to make expert salesmen and saleswomen out of the entire school. He went on to say that each student was to canvass his or her home immediately on returning from school. It is necessary to get this money to fight the war. Napo- leon was once asked what were the three most important things in wag- Ing war. lie rep1ed, Money, money, money"
 Money invested in the Liberty Loan is not given away but is a good sound investment. Although the bonds do not mature for thirty years there is always ready market for govern ment bonds at 1-2 per cent
 MT. Elwelf then proceeded to give some common objections to subscrib- ing and then answered them. He told the students that there was but one unanswerable argument, namely, no money. He advised canvassers who were confronted with argument to subscription to the loan in this city. After waiting three days without a subscription a stenographer who was earning only fourteen dollars 8 week came in to the. bank and took out a fifty dollar bond, paying for 1t in weekly installments of two dollars each.
 After Mir EIwell's speech Mir. Tir- ren gave the students a short talk dents not to draw money out of saw ings banks to buy bonds as the gov ernment wants people to save. Mir. TirrelI pointed out that the students could borrow money the bonds. A person can buy a fifty dollar bond which will pay three and one-half per cent. interest and on this he can bor- row at least forty dollars at four per cent. He told the canvassers to ask just two questions, Have you sub scribed to the Liberty Loan?" and Do you believe in America 2"
