service to the school and commu
nifty. With your cooperation we
can complete the projects by
Christmas.
We have already begun our task
and we were successful in raising
$3.50 by rafting off cake. We
sincerely thank all who took a
chance on it and we are asking you
to continue your cooperation with
us by attending our next program
which will be COMING SOON.
WATCH! For the best program of
