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.
Also during chapel that day two
of The Sentinel editors received
recognition in the Story of the
Month contest sponsored by the
Journalism Department at Win-
throp College. Trecie Davis, edi
tor of The Sentinel, was awarded
a third place rating in the edito
rial division and an honoraMe
mention in the news division. Also
that month Marvin Sanders re
ceived a fourth place rating for
the sports article he submitted
during March. Marvin is sports
editor of The Sentinel.
Since we didn’t have to go to
school last Friday and Monday
we are all fresh and eager to get
on with the school work. Ha! Is
that evermore a joke! Those East
er holidays just gave us a hint
about what life without school is
like. Maybe we all (teachers in
cluded) can last for two more
months.
Next week I’U be able to tell
you how all of the Student Council
elections turn out.
