Four Highland Park Youths ; Rescue 13 Persons At Green Bay , Pupils may purchase books outâ€" yight if they choose, but the rental rate will not be reduced to those who own part of their books and deâ€" sire to rent the remainder. Annual rental rates are as folâ€" lows: â€" Grades 1, 2, 3 Ferrererrericente c ioi Grades 4, 5, 6 .................... 2.00 Grades 7, 8 ........._._._..._. 250 The rental plan will mean a conâ€" siderable saving in the cost of books for parents.
