again this year, with the initial

sure that every senior knows the
part he will play in the campaign.
In addition, committees of seniors
are choosing complete assort-
ment of greeting cards to sell as
the second of their money-raising
ventures. Every senior activity is
chosen on the basis of its offering
friends of the school a full dollars
worth of value for every dollar
