The Boys Glee Club did not
practice Thursday on account OF
Miss Wilcox being busy with the
pageant. The Boys Glee Club
practices every Monday and Thurs
day. They are practicing hard, SO
they can sing before the assembly
in the near future.
The Chemistry Laboratory was
the scene of much excitement one
day last week when the Chemistry
classes built fires in drain pans and
then put them out by means of fire
extinguishers which they had made.
To all appearances, these cool-head-
ed Seniors would make excellent
firemen. They respectfully offer
their services to the Ely Fire De-
partment.
The Spanish II Glass has COM
pleted translating the Spanish pic
turesoue novel, "Gil Bias" and is
commencing work on 'Sa Hermana
San Sulpicis'. The members of
this class maintain that they can
hold their own with any Spaniard.
Rather a safe statement to make,
o Learned Ones, considering the
scarcity of Spaniards in this terri
tory.
The, Chemistry classes received a
lecture last Wednesday on the art
of soap making. 1t should show re-
thn of TIC
Yoho's Defeat "All Nation" Team.
TheYeho Team defeated the "all
Nation" team Friday night 18 to 2.
Mike Habian proved by far to be
the best basket artist making z
out of 9 field baskets. Felix Ayala
made the one and only basket for
the "All Nation. The "All Ma
ton" bows failed to find the ring;
also lacked teamwork. Joe Toms
PLAYED a strong defensive game
while Herbert Gianotti and Felix
Ayala tried their best in making
baskets. Waino Herranen refereed
the game.
Penmanship Notes.
As an incentive in securing bet
ter position, movement and perfec-
ton in Palmer Method Penmanship
the pupils of each grade work dill
gently from month to month for a
Palmer Method Banner. The grade
procuring the banner the greatest
number of times during the year
is given a very worthy place in the
Annual Penmanship Exhibit.
At the end of each month all the
pupils are judged on their position
and movement. We base the con-
test on movement and position be-
cause they are the first and very
essential steps in writing. The
banner is then awarded to the grade
which boasts the highest per cent,
or in other terms the best position
and movement.
This month the banners were
awarded the following grades:
Miss Swenson's 9Th grade 81 per
cent.
Miss Cashman's 7th grade, 80 per
cent.
Miss Clancy's 9th grade, SO per
cent.
Miss Berquist's 5th grade, SO per
cent.
Miss Peterson's 4th grade, sc per
cent.
Miss Simpsons 3rd grade, ga per
cent. ~
Miss Porten's End grade, 81 per
cent. 81
Miss Hauge's 1st grade, SO per
cent.
We wish to thank Mr.. James for
allowing us to exhigit our Penman-
ship in his store during the Christ
mas Holidays.
