Kentland H. S. Publishes Paper Called the Blue and White.

Numbers three and four of volume No. 1 of the Blue and White, published by the Kent land high school, came to our desk this mpming. It is a small four page paper but full of many interesting items in reference \o the Kentland high school and the .city. To prove that the school and town are alive we give the following item in reierence to their coliseum: “Did the citizens of this community subscribe the $5,000 in five days to pay for the Coliseum? Sure they did! We knew it all the time. Saturday night the third thousand had been subscribed and no subscription listed was under SSO. This meant that $2,000 had to be put over with the amounts running in smaller figures. “Messrs. Kent, Sammons and McKray, who were on the committee to conduct the campaign, got very busy Tuesday, and by that night the goal was almost reached. It was surprising how liberal people were with their check books. Only a few, a very insignificant few, failed to respond. There is about SSOO yet to clean up and when the sun goes down Saturday night Blue and White Wants it said that the Coliseum is out of debt. If you have children in school, give freely, if it don’t pinch you; if you have no children, but have the welfare of the community at heart, give more freely. This advice goes only to those who have not been seen by the committee. In the language of your minister: “Let your name be written there.”
