They had a choice of prizes, consisting of eversharp pencils, in all colors; memo pads; mirror sets; and several otwer different prizes.

There are only a few Seniors as yet who do not have their pictures taken. We hope these remaining Seniors will get their pictures taken by November 15. Only a few of the Seniors are buying Senior class play pictures. The Senior class took over their first concession of the year last Friday night at the Leesburg game which was played here. The Seniors find the Leesburg fans as well as the Syracuse fans, very good customers, they kept the Seniors busy running first for ice cream and next for change. The ice cream seemed to banish long before the game was over. It seems that the Revolt side oi the ticket selling contest lost to the Apron String side.
