CANDY SALE OF 1914. THIS year, just before the spring vacation, we raised money for our school fund and the Annual by our candy sale. The II C Class had a candy booth, a fortune teller, bowling alleys, and a zoo. The I C’s sold lemonade. Besides selling candy the II D girls had a play and the boys a vaudeville show. In an elaborately decorated booth the I D’s sold candy, peanuts and paper bouquets. They also had a fish pond which they sold out very quickly. At two-thirty the classes were dismissed and the noise and fun began. Immediately there was a large crowd around the ticket booth. Then there was a rush for the different candy booths. The alumni of the school arrived just after the sale started. Wayne Temple and Alfred Wood, gorgeously dressed, acted as barkers. After the candy and lemonade were sold out, dancing began. At five o’clock the fun ended. Everybody enjoyed the sale very much. The net proceeds were forty dollars. R. E., '16. We take a peep At Mrs. Heap To buy a bag of candy. We're always there, To fill a chair, We think her store is handy. M. G., '17. Our boys arc proud, of new jerseys loud, To wear when they basketball play. It surely seems sad, few victories they’ve had, But probably they’ll win some day. Applied Arts is pretty slow, Bookkeeping’s about as bad, English, too, doesn’t seem to go, But Mathematics drives me mad. W. J., ’17. Libbey, Fanny and Ethel All sit in Room Two. If you should try to part them You’d have a job to do. 147 I. K., ’17.
