NDEA Fund Campaign Contlnoes
As related in last week's Demo
crat, the students of AHS are sell
ing the world's finest chocolate
to raise money so that the school
can again this year Uke advantage
of the NDHA funds now available
to our school. It was hoped that
at least $000 could be raised in
this manner; this amount would
be matched by the federal govern
ment, or a total of $1800 to be
used for purchasing instructional
supplies and equipment
Sales aeem to be moving rather
slowly at present, and it is hoped
that the parents and patrons of the
school will cooperate by purchas
ing these delicious bars of choco
late from the AHS students. Per
haps the cost seems a little high,
but as compared with similar
chocolates, it is quite reasonable.
Besides, profit* realized are going
to a most' worthy and urgent
cause. Those buying these bars
of chocolate will be making it pos
sible for their children to benefit
from improved teaching facilities
and equipment. Your cooperation,
as always, will be most appreci
ated
Anyone desiring to nuke pur
chase* will pteanc telephone the
high school, and a student will
call on you.
