HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS PLAN ANNUAL

This year the senior class of 21 is putting before the students of the high school and the people of Sandpoint what promises to be a great success in the form of an annual, a 64-page book, for which the name “Monticola” was selected. It will contain an abundance of good reading matter, together with the picture of each member of the graduating class and also pictures of the other classes, the basket ball team, dramatic and debating clubs, etc. Many of the business men have already shown their generous attitude by contributing advertising material. The annual will be out by May 1, 1921, and the low price (75c) makes it possible for everyone to obtain a copy.
