cided to put an annual across this

Are you as loyal student OF the
Dawson high school willing to get
out and work for an Annual? Do you
want one bad enough to fight for itF
Then, talk it up and watch for results.
Are you as loyal supporter OF
Terrell county and its school willing
to give the Annual your advertise
ment? You will be more than repaid,
as the Annual will be constantly be-
fore the eyes OF the people in hun
dreds sof homes.
DO YOU realize that the Dawson
high school has been without an An
nual for four consecutive years?
DO you know that 90 per cent OF
the schools in Georgia put out An
nuals each year?
do you know that many schools
only half the size OF the Dawson high
school have Animals that are a great
success?
why can't the Terrell county
schools do the same? They can and
will do the same if you will support
the Annual as you should.
1--WE believe the time is now ripe
for resuming the custom Of printing
the Annual, for never in the history
of the Dawson high school has SEN
ior class of fifty been present to push
and work for an Annual. Never be-
fore has this county been in any bet
ter state to welcome an Annual than
it is today.
Your advertisements will be the

each dollar you invest you will be
more than repaid.
