U3 EUGENE FONDA ELAINE ELLIS Student Manager Student Secretary tniUutt Arttufttea Association One of the most difficult problems to solve in the high school is the financing of the activities. As a solution for this the Student Activities Association has been used successfully for two years. We made one important change in our plan. Last year the Student Manager had complete charge of all the work but this year it is divided between a Student Manager and a Student Secretary. The activities which were offered last year were all football and basket ball games, all issues of the Maroon, track meets. Misner Players, Dramatic club plays declamatory contest, magician entertainment and the Cloud Smith entertainment. A greater number participated last year including 45 seniors, 33 juniors. 54 sophomores. 38 freshmen. 16 teachers and 53 from the grammar department or a total of 239 active members. A few of these dropped out before the close of the year. After all debts had been paid it was found that they had $82.37 left to start out the new year. At the first of this year there were 156 students and 9 teachers participating, or a total of 165. Of this number 28 were Seniors. 47 Juniors, 23 Sophomores, 35 Freshmen. 9 teachers and 23 from the seventh and eighth grades. At present there are 138 active members. The events staged and the admission charged to non-members are: Three football games --------------------------------------- $1.50 Seven basket ball games ----------------------------------------2.80 Track meet -35 Misner Players---------------------------------------------------- 40 Three Dramatic Club plays -------------------------------------- 105 Three Chrismas plays .............-.............................. -35 Two plays by Albion students ------------------------------------- -35 Two musical programs .............................. -..............70 Declamatory Contest...............-........-.................... -35 Beaver .................-------------------------------------- 1-25 $9.10 This $9.10 worth of entertainment was given to the students for 10c a week or a total of $3.60. The one big feature included in our plan this year is the Beaver. This was not included in the plan last year. It is hoped that in the future every activity of the high school will be included.
