Our part in sponsoring these various shows is to see that the chairs are put up in the gym and that other equipment is on hand. The money from these shows pay for the movies which we have each month. The movies we have sponsored are as follows: 'All This and Heaven To.' 'A Bell for Adano', 'Prince of Foxes', and NGuadacanal Diaryn. We also paid for the exhaust fan in the smoking room in the gym. We bought material for our school flag which was made by the home economics teacher. :i Yu 1-.l' BERNSHAUSEN IMPLEM NT CO.
