Around Clinton High IT - By Trecie Davis Last Thursday the juniors had their annual cake sale to raise money for the junior-senior ban quet in May. They raised around $756 just selling cakes to the va rious homerooms. Several of the cakes sold for over fifty dollars. Some of the senior homerooms that had only five dollars couldn’t even bid on the cakes, because the bidding started at ten dollars. Oh well, they finally let us ole seniors bid (after everybody else had gotten a cake). There were two homerooms without cakes and two cakes to be sold. Now the catch was that one of the two cakes was a cornbread cake. Even though 12-B got the un lucky cake, other homerooms that had gotten two sakes gave one of them to 12-B. The dear people in 12-B ended up with about three cakes. Os well, that's the wya it goes. Thursday was really a day to go to chapel. During the regular period the candidates for presi dent of the Student Council and their campaign managers gave their campaign speeches. Run ning for president of the-council are Jean Arnold and Judy Beden- baugh. Leonard Price gave the stump speech for Judy, while Clark Surratt made the speech for Jean.
