Comet representatives push successful sales campazgu fifty Beseiged by cries of I want a yearbook and Here's my money for the Comet , the yearbook sales representatives did an outstanding job of maintaining order out of what could have been chaos. With deposit slips, receipts, records and much loose change to keep track of, neatness, efficiency, and concentration were the qualities found in these Willing workers.

Often he rnust be a super salesman, for not all Cody students are aware that the Cornet will provide them with a story of memorable high school days. At the beginning of this year the Comet representatives gathered together for an assembly, not for the yearbook, but for the Torch Drive Charity Campaign. Their spirit of co-operation enabled them to put on a fine performance in the assembly, and all year round.
