The campaign resulted from a :hapel talk made recently by Principal Henry C. Stone, in which the school head pointed out several or uie ways uiav even boys and girls can express their patriotism in a practical way. rhe first contributions came in to the respective teachers without benefit of a formal request, and when it became apparent that the students really were dead serious about the effort, an intensive campaign was organized. All grades participated, the highest room contribution coming from Miss Ida Creech's 11th grade, $36.25. The 6th grade, Miss Clarice Swain teacher, contributed $32.57 for the greatest contribution from one of, the grammar grade rooms.
