'PHE CANDY CLUB Nlanagers . ,......,........,.,..,...,,,,,,r,,,,,,,,,,, Ray Liphart Jack Baum The Senior Candy Club of the class of '36 proved to be one of the most suc- cessful senior activities. The club, organ- ized early in the season, selected Jack Baum and Ray Liphart as managers, whose duties were to assort and distribute thc bars and keep records of the sales. The managers were kept very busy since many members sold a box of candy nearly every day. Romayne Coleman was the leading salesman with eighty-eight boxes to her credit. Most of the sales were made in the halls at noon or after school. Profits per box amounted to thirty-eight or forty-six cents depending on the type of bars. The purpose of this club was to earn money to pay various senior ex- penses including rings, pins, pictures and jackets. TNIAGAZINE CLUB Captains ....,,. .........

Football and other sports pre- sented an opportunity of which our mem- bers took advantage and showed a com- mendable record. Candy selling, dances and other activities were the chief means of acquiring funds for an enviable Junior- Senior reception. The Junior class, as host, honored the Seniors for the first time with a banquet follow-ed by a dance at the Fort Stanwix Hotel. The Juniors completed a very Successful term by show- ing their ability as kitchen managers dur- ing the last several weeks of school.
