FERRIS WHEEL AGENTS Any money today ? has been the cry of the Ferris Wheel Agents during the past term. The task of securing subscriptions for the Ferrir Wheel was a hard one. But it was most ably and efficiently discharged by this willing group of students. So well did the collectors do in their sales campaign that over one thousand books sold. Imagine one thousand books subscribed for in the school of only two thousand students! This feat was accomplished only by daily urging and persistence. The students were glad to pay for their books, as in no other way could they escape the hounding of the agents. In order to show its appreciation of the work done by the agents, several prizes were offered to those receiving the largest number of subscriptions. ' The class that first reached one hundred per cent of paid-up subscriptions was awarded two copies of this Ferrir Wheel. It is remarkable that the winner turned out to be a class of Freshmen, Miss Kerwin's class. Page Fiffy-.fix
