planning cover designs for their art
portfolios.
Both grades are very much interes-
ted in keeping a discipline chart.
This gives rise to a spirit of COM
petition between the grades as to
which will have the best record.
Then each Tuesday there is meet
ing where the problems Of discipline
are discussed. At the last meeting
the discussion was given over to the
question of the best method of march

formulated that seems to be working
nicely.
