CENTRAL HIGH NOTES
Assembly For ArgpS

A special assembly was held yes
terday for the purpose OF boosting
subscriptions to the commencement
number of the Argus. Professor
Severance gave Business Manager
Lewis X. Rimer the platform short
ly after the school had assembled.
"One thousand subscriptions by May
1" is the slogan that the school eol-
tors is working on.
Professor Severance had seNerai
important matters to bring before
the school, and proceeded with his
business when the Argus represen-
tative had finished. His first Item
was a matter of reform, and ap-
piled to the Argus staff. The princl-
pal stated that next year the mem, ,
hers of the staff would be selected
from all classes of the school, IN
stead of only the two upper classes
as has been the custom for many
years. He believes that this change
will arouse more interest III tne
school publication, and VIII prlhS
the different divisions of the school
into closer fellowship. His sugges-
ton was not made because he was
dissatisfied with the work done un-
der the present system by the pres
ent staff. but was made because ne
thought that a better paper could De
published.
The principals next item was with
regards to the purchase or war saw
ing Stamps by the students. lie re-
minded the student body that the
government had a new issue for the
year 1919 on sale, and urged them
to purchase the stamps in the same
quantities. and with the same VIII,
that they had done when the country
was at war. The War Stamps VIII
be on sale at the office as soon as
arrangements can be made for their
purchase, and bulletins will be post
ed showing just how many stamps
have been bought by the students
from time to time. No campaign
will be waged. but it is up to the
Central students to keep up the pa
triotic spirit of the school by pur-
chasing these stamps.
