When the -witbdzrawals 'cy the individ.-cal financial groups are subtracted from the deposits the balance may be shown at anytime. The combined balance of all accounts should agree with the grand balance in the bank. Let us see how the money is handled in each organization before it reaches the financial ad.-'is.ar. We will telco the Associated Students first, as it is the largest and monst important of the groups. The associated Students of the high school are the students of the school, that is, those students who have paid their annual dues of one dollar. These The treasurer year.

He hands one copy to the financial advisor who writes the check and keeps the other for reference. The treasurer is provided with a large ledger in which he enters each payment and receipt. it each student body meeting he trust read this complete report, giving the balance on hand. thny do not seem to understand why student body dues are needed. Everything tending toward outside activities is sponsored by the Student Body which is the vital organization of the school. Each of these 8.0- tivitics need to be financed.. The athletic teams need uniforms, the Fresno County League requires dues, the li'r-es!-.mazz reception must be financed, the girls' play days cost money, May Day requires expenditures for costumes and equipment, the scholarship society needs expense money, the commercial contestants must have their entry fees paid, the track team, and in fact, every activity, costs money. The state law will not allow tax funds to be used for these purposes. These funds must be raised somehow. In country schools dues are the only practical means of raising money. Every loyal student pays his dues.

Students paying their dues have a chance to compete to represent the school on all athletic teams, debating and commercial contests, operettas, school plays, Hay Day festivities, student body offices, class offices, annual staff, and all other representative activities. If a 'student does not pay his dues, he is automatically barred. from participating as a representative of the Student Body. If a student misses any of these, he is missing the best part of his school days. The fun of the activities is the best part of high school. Students reading this: 'Please pay your dues next year: we need your help on all of our teams: 1t's up to you to make this school worthwhile. The' classes, clubs, and organizations each elect an individual treasurer periodically. When an asseement or money earned by group Business activities is received by this group treasurer, he turns it over to the financial advisor, taking a receipt. Each club or class formerly had regular dues but inasmuch as a great deal of useful act- ivity is possible without the need of regular sums of cash ne have im- proved the financing by paying assessments within the groups only as cash is needed.. This lessens the expense burden on the student. It mlgmt be well to state that each class, club, and organization has a faculty advisor who must 0.

Purpose and amount. This order ls given to the financial advisor, who issues a check therefor. The associated students operate a student body store selling ste- tionery. The store has a seperate account on the books. The store keeper arranges for purchases, keeps a record of sales each dey, takes an inventory and prepares a report for student bow meetings, giving a report of expenses, sales, and profits. All of the patriotic stu- dents buy from the store. At the end of the year, the store account is closed into the associated students' account. This article is written for the purpose of showing you in a brief way how the finances of our school are handled according to the rules of the California State Law.
