The senior boys secured the .special concession to sell cold drinks, apples, and crackerjacks at all athletic gatherings. These sales provided for the financing of the various purchases made for the school and the pleasure trip which the boys take every year. The junior club members sold pop corn balls at both football and basket ball games. Their activities in this connection provided for the purchase of the two canaries and cages which have been placed on the first landings of both stairs. Toward the close of the school year, the senior club supervised a special group' of talks by Mr. Albert Cole and Dr. Charles Vestle. These talks were given in the high school auditorium, and all boys in high school were invited to attend.
