Pamphile Restrictive Club Wins in Ticket Contest Pamphile, women’s restrictive club, sold 67 Football Circus tickets to win first place in the ticket selling contest which took place last week among both re¬ strictive and non-restrictive clubs. Three hundred fifty-three tickets were sold during the week’s cam¬ paign. This year a new practice of selling tickets for the Fourteenth annual Football Circus was in¬ itiated. For every ticket sold by a club member the club received ten per cent of the price for its treasury. In this way it was hoped that an incentive for sell¬ ing would be produced. Money received from the ticket sale at school will be used for the PTA welfare fund at PCC. Tickets will be on sale in the dean of women’s office through¬ out the week.
