SENIORS SECURE
$411 GIFT FOR
SCHOOL MILK FUND
SECOND SHOWING
OF SENIOR DRAMA
The ACC seniors gift to the
depleted P T A milk fund thtough
the second showing of their drama
"Putting It Over" was n total
of $411. GO. This amount is thought
to be sufficient to supply milk
ti the needing children of Abilene
for the rest of the school year.
This success was boosted most
ly by the salesmanship class
taught by James E. Freeman
head of the business administra-
tion department of the college.
While selling these charity tickets
over town the salesmen had to
confront the severe blizzuid which
swept the city of Abilene last
week. Quoting Mr. Freeman
"Those students literally covered
the town" and practically every
business establishment in Abilene
was visited.
The system used in canvassing
the city consisted of the students
pairing off in teams of two and
each team taking n certain num.
ber of blocks on the certain street.
Frank Farmer John Stevens Reba
Jo Billingsley and John Soscbec
headed the salesmanship commit-
tee. In addition to the student sales
the Booster Club of Abilene took
n block of tickets. Several dollars'
worth of tickets weie sold by the
P T A association the sponsor of
the milk fund which provides the
undernourished children of the
city with n pint of milk daily.
Also several large films of the
city bought blocks of tickets.

For my yoke Is easy and my bur
den is light."
