This is the Civic Afairs Committee, not the football team. The trouble is, “We’re so very busy these days,” activities sometimes overlap. Students seated around the table are Judy Culp, Judy Burton, Dinah Nibbelink, Bill Petree, Becky Caddell and Tom Kester, Standing are Dusty Schoch, Billy Michael and Jon Cox. Civic Affairs Committee To Handle Stamp Sales Jon Cox High Point has been selected as one of the North Carolina city school systems to sell U. S. sav ing stamps. The selling of saving stamps is basically a program in conservation and thrift. Each Tuesday the Civic Affairs Committee is in charge of filling out stamp orders in the princi pal’s waiting room. Stamps are to be sold in 10c, 25c and 5Uc deno minations. When bought, stamps are placed in stamp albums. When the album is filled, it is then turn ed in to a bank in exchange for a §25. series E savings bond. By investing 50c weekly in sav ings stamps a student can fill his album in about 19 school weeks or a school semester. It is to the ad vantage of the purchaser to ac cumulate the price of a bond as quickly as possible. Stamps are ac cepted as full or part payment on a savings bond. The habit of saving regularly once formed, can last a lifetime. “Shore Purty” The student sees how systematic savings accumulate. He learns money management in terms of dimes and quarters that will serve him well in handling dollars lat er. He learns what it is to own a “Share in America” in the form of bonds of his country. In fact, the secondary benefits of the school savings program outweigh iniportanof. th' votu.vl l.-'ll'T': sales of stamps and bonds. Although the first stamp sale date was rather tentatively an nounced because of the uncertainty of getting stamps from the Post Office, 278 students starter their albums. Sales totaled $128.10. Said Mrs. Thayer, principal, about members of the Civic Af fairs Committee who handled the business, “The nine students who conducted the sale of stamps quickly organized the work, checked the orders for accuracy, cuonted the money, filled the ord ers and kept the money exactly correct.” G.A.A.
