SCIENCE CUSS BUYS LIBERTY BOND The first year Ueneral Brleuce class was the first class In the On tarlo High School to purchase a lib erty bond. The class was so thrilled with patriotism lust before the big drlvo for the sale of liberty bond, that they hit sure they could do this llunli The Idea waa first suggested by one of the members of the clasa. At Hrci It looked a though It MlU not be done, but after each student had duly coiiHldered all ways and means It developed that sufaeleel aunt could be raised to purchase one bond at least. The example they have set la one that Is becoming to s real scientific class but Just the sntouut f sacrifice II will require will prob ably be noticed sa the sudden drop ping off of sales Ink the chewing gum market and the possibility of fore going the pleasures of su evening at the movies. However, although the mot lea may be forced to close snd the chewing gum factoriea cease lo be, the Ontsrlo High School scien tific class are determined that Bill Kaiser shall go tot be scrap heap also. The bond was accompanied by plan which each member Is now wearing The members are: Harry Cleve land. Jas Hlgga, .Dooovsu Xoornian. David I'dick, i.ee Rroderlck. Harry Nice, Homer Maddux. Mitchell Moore snd Lee Williams.
