PUPILS, NEED ADVERTISING
• SUPPORT FOR 'EAR , BOOK
In this week's High School
column it is pointed out,. that::
advertising support for the
L.D.H.S, Year Book has been
very disappointing,to date,
ri This 'comes; as a ;surprise' as, .
merchants have been .quite
generous in their support of > .
this. student publication each..
. year. Could it -be that the
advertising sales .staff has
fallen downa bit?
In' any event, ',production
of the Year 'Book is •depend-
ent on the support of local'
merchants, and we under-
stand the -"last call" contact -
will be . made . within a few.
' days.' The editors of. the High
School .c'olumn complete their
.appealin• this way;. "We•.
need your help,�as .you need
us:" .
The : purchasing . and ' con-
suining potential, of close to
20.0' students merits' 'consider-
ation, and this is implied -we
.:'take it, in ,the .above quota-
tion.
