II. S. DANCE
SAT. NIGHT

Elsewhere in this edition is a.
lad" announcing the athletic
benefit dance to be held in tn,
school gym this Saturday evening
Dance enthusiasts as we'll as pa
irons who "just go to hear tn,
music" will be on hand when Jacl
Hollis well known Spokane orches
ira starts the feet to stepping.
The student association is spon
soring the dance to raise funds te
defray expenses incurred in the
basketball season, chiefly new
playing suits, and if the dance is
as successful as it seems it will be
most of the debt will be cleared
up.
Many people are unaware of the
cost of financing basketball sea-
son. Transportation of players to
other towns is the chief expense
with officiating comparatively
minor item, and equipment com
prising the balance. 1t is customary
in most districts to use the school
buses for these trips and cost of
gas Is borne by the district Dri---
ers' contracts contain provision
calling upon their services for such
trips also. But in Coulee City's
school district there are no school
owned BUSES. Neither are parents
and patrons asked to donate their
cars. They are paid at the rate OF
five cents per round trip mile at
the time the trips are made. This
seems no more than fair, although
in many districts such transporta-
tion Is still on donated-car basis.
Were 1t not for transportation
costs the high school students or
ganization would have realized
nice profit on the basketball sea-
son, such as do Maritime, Neppel
and other schools.
The big dance this Saturday at
the school is an attempt to raise
money to pay for equipment which
could easily have been paid for out
Of game receipts had not transpor-
tation eaten, up such funds.
Will you come to this dance?
Whether pa AAAee or not
and help out with this money rails
ing project.
