Collecting activity ticket money each morning in homeroom to take to the senior office is the job of the Ledger secretary. Every Ledger secretary must keep an accurate account of the money that each student has paid on his ticket. Activity ticket money goes to help pay for new uniforms for the many teams, for the school paper, and for various other needs of the school. Regular meetings arc held so that each Ledger secretary can give a complete report of his progress in collecting money. An assembly is held every September at the beginning of the fall term and again at the beginning of the spring term to promote the sale of these activities tickets. THE HAYRIDE committee members are busy the year round preparing the John Hay yearbook. The Hay ride.
