"Freshman News

After spending very pleasant
Thanksgiving days the Freshman
class came back to school with
great earnestness to do better work.
Quarterly examination are over and
the majority of the class passed in
all studies. This class, as we'll as
all other classes, were greatly bene-
fitted by the inspired talk by Prof.
Jordan in chapel concerning Educa-
tional week. We are all endeavor-
ing to push this movement forward
and expect to come out with a howl
ing success. The Freshman class
has been 100 percent in attendance
with the exception of two absences
due to sickness. AS to our studies:
in Latin we are reading the story of
Niobe and her children. In Litera-
ture we are learning quotations from
''The Vision of Sir Launfal."
History Lessons are made very in
teresting by discussions on the Rise
Of The Romans. In Algebra we are
reviewing Parenthesis and Equations
In Science we are taking up the
study of Chemical Effects Of Elec-
trio Currents. Our Freshmen class
is not only interested in our work,
but also in sister class at other
schools. Let us exchange ideas and
see if all parties concerned will not
be bene6tted-Writ9 us.
