The booster button sale for Manchester college which was carried on Friday and
Saturday morning resulted in a little more than five hundred buttons being sold.
The buyers of these buttons become permanent members of a booster organization
for Manchester college and the button is the outward sign of an inward desire to
do all possible to make the school the very best school possible. With this
organization as a working body the matter of raising needed funds for the
college will go forward. The committee representing this five hundred members
will meet tonight and will outline plans to carry forward the real financial
campaign, for though the proceeds from the sale of the buttons applies to the
credit of North Manchester on the college, yet the real campaign will have to be
for bigger subscriptions than dollars. Already a number of big subscriptions
have been received and the committee at its meeting tonight will make plans for
carrying forward the subscription.
It is universally agreed that the college is a valuable asset to the town, and
that there is not one piece of property here that is not more valuable because
of the college being here. So in reality making a donation to the Manchester
college is not a gift - it is only paying for financial benefits already
received.
