were among the absent members this
! week.
Hazel Belden was absent Wednesday

The seniors have not had algebra
for two years and as result have
forgotten most of factoring. But they
are getting along famously now.
The seniors have been studying the
Prologue to the knights Tale" by
Cnaucer. and will soon take up Spen-
GERS Fairy Queen."A committee was
appointed and number of the pupils
sent through the members for the two
books so as to start small library
of classics for themselves.
Ernest McCullom has left school.
Ernest was junior and we are all
very sorry to have him leave u.s..
The sophomOres have finished writ
ing their Christmas stories.
Heretofore the high school has had

that Friday. The scholars have begun
to shake in their Shoes" as the say

The new report cards were given
out last week. Each division has a
different color Seniors pink, juniors
blue sOphomores orange, freshmen
white. These cards are an improve
ment on the others. as the grades for
the term are all on the one card.
| The Cosmos pictures ordered for us
by Miss Bates, have come and all are
excellent reproductions. The Latir
classes selected copies of the Colos-
scum, Forum and Acropolis. and also
of Caesar and Cicero, of whom they
are especially fond. Every pupil in
the school should have some of these
pictures. Those of our presidents
Washington, Lincoln, Mckinley and
Roosevelt are very good, as also are
those of historical scenes and places.
Ask Roy and Ralph if red ribbon
is very expensive now.
Our class in ancient history is still,
as rule, doing excellent work. Many
of the pupils have filled their first note
books for the outlining of work and
tave already several pages in the Sec
ond one. Each one of us is trying
to make marked improvement in
the composition and form of the work.
These books are to be in the exhibit
and from them may be obtained a fine
estimate, not only of our work in his
tory, but also our progress of combin.
ing our thoughts into an outline.
Our work in ancient history this
week was map of Greece; the out.
line on Tuesday in which we located
| the required places from memory Mag
gle Woods map was the best on the
fist day, but there were several very
good; on the second day We could not
decide which one was best, for so
many were excellent. This drawing
is to recall the physical features of
that country, so mat when we take the
study of Greece in a historical way it
will be easier to understand the eff
fects OF the location upon the inhab-
ltants. 1t may be some of the Greeks
were surprised to find in how quick a
time they had moved from highland to
sea, but we hope they like their new
| homes
We are anticipating a very interest
ing series of lessons to begin soon, for
we are almost ready to take up the
history of Greece and we are sure we
can mend any breach of friendship
which the reference books feel toward
US for neglecting them these few days,
for they will be doubly popular in a
fc whore days.
The senior girls haven't practiced
basket ball for some time. Is it be.
cause of evening sessions?
Flora DOOres has returned to school
after weeks absence.
The second and the third year Latin
[ classes are having contest in writ.
ing dates. The uniors wonder why
the Romans didn't date from the birtn

FrOwning does a great deal when

The third year class has now taken
