Through the cooperation of the
Greensboro merchants, it is iiossible to
oft’er a variety of capital axvards from
which the highest salesmen may take
their choice. The prizes include radios,
watches, wearing apjiarel, and sports
articles. In addition to these, there are
Crowell prizes from which those who
do not take capital awards may choose.
-Not only will the students who par-
ticijiate in this campaign receive prizes,
but they will be beneliting the school,
for it will receive approximately 50
per ci'iit of receipts. 'Phis money will
lie used to buy new uniforms for the
liand and to inovide funds for publish
ing IIioH Liff;. As Mr. Ilucks, the fac
ulty adviser, might say, "These two
reasons in themselves should bo incen
tive enough.”
Now comes the best jiart of the re
wards: The highest seller will have his
pictui-e printed in Iliciii Life, and he
will be honored in the "Per.sonality of
the Week" column.
Although the campaign has been a
succe'^s so far. we still need more sub
scriptions: so, as M;ark Cole might say,
