fall of 1929 with an enrollment of
238 in all departments including sixty
in the High school. An average at
(endance of 48 has been made in the
, High school during the term.

box supper and cake walk in the
early fall, this was a great success,
though the weather was bad. Enough
money was realized at this supper to
buy basketball suits for the girls
on the team.

done good work and are now near

branches of study. The large Bible
class of over seventy has been one
of the outstanding features. It has
studied the gospel of Matthew and
the Acts of the Apostles. The class
gave a Bible play entitled, "A Dream
of . Queen Esther," on Wednesday

ican history has been one of the most
interesting, it being divided into two
sections with Walter Graham leading
one side and Blaine Crisp the other.

lagged, due to the plan of having
the class divided in . competition. A
close count was made each day of
the points gained by each side, the
losing side to furnish a supper to
the winners.

THE WORDS on the back of the pack
age still mean what they say. No
"extras," which do not contribute to
the quality of the smoke, are included
in the price of Camels. Just the utmost
smoke-enjoyment that modern science
can put into a cigarette.
That statement was on the first pack
age of Camels manufactured and has
been on every one of the billions of
, Camel packages sold from that day to
this. When it was first written, other
cigarette manufacturers were giving
away flags, pictures of actresses, pic
tures of ball players almost anything
that would make the smoker think he
was getting something extra for his
money. The makers of Camels believed
the smoker wanted a cigarette sold
strictly on its merits, with all of its
cost put into quality a cigarette made
of such excellent tobaccos so perfectly
blended so mellow so fragrant that
it would win its own way.
The vast popularity of Camels is a
tribute to that four-square policy.
