designed to raise funds for various
school activities, were among
some of the items on the agenda

by Lewis and Burge, S2,381; A. D.
Naylor and company, $3.50; and

were provided by Altman and Alt
man, architects. Bids are due Mon
day, December 10.

though there was reduced attend
ance. Some 200 or more we're alb
sent at Northern High and cor
