Central High Needs $1,000
For This Years Annual

More than $50 worth of ads for
the Annual were turned in by Cen
trail High school pupils by the end of
the first day of the get an ad" cam
paign. The campaign will be con-
tnued until May 10. The mark set is
$1,000.
On account OF the high cost OF print
supplies the Annual will cost more
this year than formerly. The paper
depends upon its advertisements as
the subscription money pays only a
small! part Of the expenses. The As
ISOLATED Retailers in former years adj
vertised in the monthly numbers also.
Last year the advertisement were
limited to the Annual and this year
the Register was left to shift for itself.
About 81 500 is needed before the edi
ton of the Annual is assured.
