Miss Perry has begun an honor roll
in spelling for her Sophomore class.
Pupils whose first themes of the month
contain no misspelled words have a
list of their names placed in a con
spicuous place on the black board.
Any one Of those pupils handing in
a theme during the month with a
word wrongly spelled must have his
name erased from the list. Thus, at
the end of the month, the honor roll
consists of only those whose themes
did not contain one misspelled word.
Miss Perry gives the whole class a
good drill each month in the words
misspelled.
