On Friday the little folks were re-

noon in making and sending valentines,
as a reminder of the sweet gifts of
nature soon to follow-springtime, with
her beautiful flowers, gay-voiced birds,
brightly-tinted butterflies, warm skies
and sweet odors.
Most of the pupils throughout the
entire school who have been absent on

more regular attendance is hoped for
from now on. The best results can be
obtained only by punctuality and con-
slant attendance.
The members of the seventh grade
have finished McMaster's Elementary
History and are now taking up review
of the subject. In geography, they are
studying "Eurasia," and by the aid of
Carpenters Reader on that subject,
they are progressing nicely. The COM
plex-sentence and adjective-clauses are
furnishing material for work in
language, and nearly every member of
the class feels able to handle any ordin-
ary sentence.
Those perfect in spelling for the past
week are:
Third grade-Maggie Ugelstad,
Flora White, Mamie Sperry.
Fourth grade-Willie Donovan, Agnes
Kahl, Reva Smith, Dale COUNSEL,
Joseph Hammill, Rose Sheridan, Kyle

literature classes find the new refer
ence library a great help.

.|ssok Of geometry are engrossing the
plane geometry class.

attendance since Christmas. ...
The English history class is studying
the American Revolution as English
statesmen have discussed it.
The class i'll physics has finished
magnetism and has entered electricity
in which they take special delight.
Our equipment in this subject is more
complete than any other division of the
subject of physics. This fact makes
the subject intensely interesting and
instructive.
The class in geology has taken up the
study of dynamic geology, which is
being supplemented with Willard's
Story of the Prairie and the state
geological survey. There are twenty
one members in this class most of
whom finished physical geography last
semester. The class certainly enjoys
this interesting subject which brings
them face to face with the history of
the earth.
| The class in Cicero is now reading
the third oration against Cataline and
will haye read the fourth by March Is.
This will give this class % months to re-
view llsix orations before the May state
examinations. While this class is small
in number it is par excellence in quality.
The improvement in this class since
last September is very marked.
The class in senior grammar is study
ing the verb in all its aspects. This
class is doing excellent work and will
review the entire subject in one semes-
ter.
