LYCEUM COURSE
COMING TO HIGH
By K. W. Mitchell

The Humboldt, it is desired to call
your attention to The accompanying
small folder. This announces the
first number of the Lyceum course
that is given this year at the High
School under the direction of the
school. l. has been several years
since anything q this nature has
been tried as feature of the school
and nothing Of a similar kind has
been in Winnemucca since the Eli
son-White Chautauqua of more than
a year ago.
A somewhat different plan is be-
ing pursued this year from that of
former years in that there is no
guarantee due to the Lyceum COM
pany for a specified sum. These
various entertainments come to the
high school on a no-guarantee basis.
Also, the high school reaps some
financial benefit as well. Briefly,
mere is the plan:
For the first $500 of advance
sale season tickets, the Lyceum
Company will give to the high
school, 10 per cent; for the next
$500, 25 per cent, and all above
that amount, $3.50 The amour
due to the Lyceum is limited to an
absolute s495. If a deficit occurs
in the receipts, however, the school
IS not bound to make good the def
cheney. All door receipts apply to
the sum due to the Bureau until the
amount specified is reached, after
which, any residue from that source
viii be placed in the treasury of the
High School Student Body.
The percentage due to the high
school from the advance sale of
season tickets is assured to them
and will not apply on the payment
Of the S495 due the Bureau.
Again the plan might be present
ed in this manner. If the students
make a total sale of $3.50 in ad-
vance sale season tickets, the agency
will receive its stipulated amount
and at the same time the Student
Body will receive S155 as its share
on the percentage basis. This can
be readily shown is this way: Out
Of the first $500 of advance sale
season tickets, the Bureau will re-
ceive S270 and the school, $50;
from the next 5000, the ageHcy's
share will be $3.50, and the school,
$50; for the next $50 sold, the re-
,eipts viii be divided equally, or
S75 to both Bureau and school
All other receipts would then belong
o the High School.
All of US know that heretofore
here has been much censure passed
because of the "bunch of beggars"
up at the high school. But we
feel that we cannot be 50
accused, if We can demonstrate to
you that we are in a position to
give you value received for what
you pay. No one will deny that
The various activities at the high
school must be financed. From the
kindly feeling that we have seen
evidenced so far this year, we feel
sure that you desire to see the
various functions, social and other
wise, in which the high school is in
.erested prove a success. For that
we do not hesitate to come
% you and ask your support. Since
we ask this support from you, it is
only proper to assure you that the
school desires to cooperate with
you in all your undertakings in
which the school may properly
junction.
These are the prices for admis-
ion: Family season ticket $500
regardless of size of the family |
adult single season, $500; school
hid over twelve years, season,
'1.50; school child under twelve.
'.75. For single admissions the !
'rices established are: adult, SIS; |
hid over twelve, s.75; child under
welye, $.25. 1t is evident that it |
will be to the advantage of anyone |
Interested to buy the season tickets.
