Every salesman from the Freshman to the Senior has knocked on doors and cor- nered fellow students. The ninth-graders ventured forth for the first time this year to sell rnegaphones. The junior high, their biggest customers, bought enough to outfit its pep club. Sopho- mores only made one attempt this year. Profits from show tickets gave them a substantial treasury. Money and vending was most important to Juniors. The prom devoured the largest hunk of the commissions. By always selling somethingfl the Juniors tried a fresh ap- proach which payed offl' when the treasury grew to unknown bounds. Roses raked in most of the money, dozens of the red beauties were delivered one icy Fri- day. -Iuniors backed the sale of tickets for their class play, Take Your Medicine. Rays of light illuminated the capital as they sold light bulbs. Also they ofjfered Airedale pennants and stickers. The money not used for the prom went into the safe for next year's expenses. Seniors worked ardently to produce a good yearbook. The revenues from the class play also financed the book. Magazine publications were the biggest backers of our yearbook with profit amounting to over a thousand dollars. Although English, math, and history are very important for our education, the little sidelines that we experi- enced taught us just as much. Through selling we came into direct contact with the townspeople. We realized how much citizens of Hartford City put into our educa- tion 3 but even more important, our selling showed us how we should be prepared to live and work as reliable citizens of our town. 7 Hr--, f

Each time, throughout our day, that we exchange a dollar or even a dime for a noon meal, a favorite perfume, or an evening at the movies, we may call ourselves consumers. Far from the bartering system of trade, which is exchanging goods for goods, the consumer of today is the lifestream of the business world. He must not only become familiar with our American currency, but he must know what to expect in the quantity and quality of the products in which he in- vests his money. He must recognize his position as a consumer and demand the best of quality for the amount of money he spends. We, the student body of HCHS, as represented in a random sample, stratihed panel, acquire a total income of nearly 34,000 a week. During a two-month period, according to the survey, we spent 855,500 on sweaters and 959,000 on shoes. 81.055 was spent on cosmetics by both boys and girls over a period of one week. We increased the income of Hartford City's eating establishments by spending approximately S900 on meals in an average week. Nearly 95570 was spent by the students on meals alone over an average week-end, and nearly S5100 worth of Hsupposedi' off-limits between-class- snacks were consumed in an average day.
