Exchange Editor, Corinne Harris Magazine Contest This year the high school, in co-operation with the Curtis Publishing Company, carried on its annual magazine contest. Ruth Bemis was business manager. The team captains were Ethel Bates for classes 8 (boys), 10, 12, and Vanessa Lord for classes 8 (girls), 9, 11. The freshman class had the highest class total. Daniel Robinson was high sales- man for the school. In return for his fine work he received a wrist watch. With the money received from the contest the school purchased a tape recorder and a record player. The school wishes to thank all the people who helped to make this campaign a success. Sweater Dance The Hermon I.O.O.F. Triumph Lodge sponsored a benefit dance February 12, 1952. This is the third annual Sweater Dance held for the purpose of purchasing awards for the basketball teams. Many prizes were do- nated by business men, a fact which we ap- preciate very much. Also, we want to thank the lodge for their interest in our school activities. The profit for our school was ap- proximately $30. Thanks Many good friends have given a helping hand to us in our recent time of need.
