Money 1 How to raise money for school activities occupied the thoughts and the time of the different classes and organizations much of the time duringthh year. Since each one was on tts own and the money was no longs-budgetedin it from the general student fund, more stress was put on activities which would bring in revenue to the various groups. The freshmen had a cake and chicken raffle and a basket social. fthe sophomores sold Christmas cardsand gift wrappings. The juniors sold holly, presented their play, and nblld their junior prom. The seniors raffled a refrigerator at the senior ball in the fall and then presented their play in April. Everyone worled hard for the carnival and the repeat performance of the show to help pay off lie dept of the athletic department. The proceeds from the sale of magazines were also used for that purpose. Two benefit card parties were sponsored by the mothers of the basketball players. Money from the admissions for the concert given here by the State College Symphony Orchestra went to the band. The HGH Club and the Pep Club soensored several dances. 13 fact, it was a very busy year, but it paid off from the financial standpojntntae all organizations were able to get out into the black again.
