ly support athletics for the remainder
of the year The football season end
ed with a slight deficit in the treasury
of the Student Body. and it was thot

raised to guarantee their successful
completion.

to pay out. was due to two causes;
the lack of spirit in the Student Body
and the citizens of the town. Many
suggestions were offered as a means
for financing the association during
the balance of this year, the most ac-

contribute a sum of ten dollars to the
Student Body treasury and that at
least fifty per cent of the students in
the high school should purchase q sem
ester ticket. good for all school aetiv-
tiles at a price of one dollar.

the several classes in raising their
promised ten dollars, Many students

necessary money for class dues or sea-
son tickets. earned this amount during
the Thanksgiving vacation. Some Of
the girls washed dishes for the ladies'

giving dinners. Several OF the seventh
grade boys acted as baggage smashers
for the passengers Of the erratic Short
Line trains. A number Of the girls
made their required ticket money by
the darning Of stockings and other
mendine; putting into practical use
those things which they learned in
their domestic art classes From the
