Junior Highs Stage
Ticket Sale Race

AT last the spirit of friendly ri
valry between the Junior High
Schools at the Normal school and
the High school has been turned to
commercial account. Those in
charge of the publicity campaign for
Faust" the opera to be given at
the Normal school next Wednesday,
have offered large American flag
as prize for the school whose team
sells the most tickets during the
coming week.
Each school will elect a captain,
who, with the advice of his principal,
will choose team of ten to aid him
in the campaign. The captain will be
responsible to those in charge of the
contest, and will check in every night.
The city will be divided into two
sections, and one team assigned to
each. Subdivisions may be made to
suit the members of the teams.
AS this goes to press, the captains
and teams have not been chosen.
Whoever they are, we are sure that
they will be doing their utmost to
bring the prize to their school, and
that they will have the backing of
their classmates.
Another contest designed to give
a little publicity to the opera is be-
ing conducted in the window of the
Handy Kitchen. Here's your chance
to win a free ticket to Faust" Go
down and look it over.
Anyway, whether you buy a dozen
tickets to help one team or the other
win the prize, or are fortunate
enough to win the free ticket, let's
see you at the Normal auditorium,
