The students of the high school
wish to commend the people of this
community on. their fine cooperative
snirit in boosting our school func-
t;ons. Whenever a play, operetta, or
carnival is given everyone does all
thew can to help it along. Even tho
the ticket sales do look little slow
= first the last day is always better.
And not only on the ticket sales do
the people help-but in their adver-
Using. and, best of all, their desire
- help, This helpful attitude en-
courages the students and the school.
n creates new enthusiasm, more
class spirit, and makes the student
think that if they try they can do
something. Then after they have done
something worthwhile, have received
uraise for it, it gives them the spirit
Of helpfulness. They want to do some
thing else for their school to help
create enthusiasm and spirit and to
make it more prosperous.
And so, as we have no other OPP
uortunity, we want to say now that
We appreciate the efforts Of the peo-
ple of the community in helping our
school carry out its functions and
helping to create new interest in
them.
