The freshman English class has
been studying the use of the com
ma this week. This is work which
most students are supposed to
learn in the grades, but Miss An
derson finds that the majority of
the freshmen have forgotten it.
The class is also studying sem
tence structure but more stress
is being put on the comma than
the other parts. Miss Anderson
prophecies that by the end of the
week the class will be able to
punctuate their sentences as well
as some of the more advanced
students of English. Next week
the class plans to start reading
and studying Julius Caeser."
The junior and sophomore class
es are studying plays. The junior
class is reading Shakespeare's Gas
You Like It." Under the work they
study the good and bad qualities
of the plays. Both the juniors and
sophomores enjoy reading differ
ent parts. Each day part of the
play is acted out. The juniors
think they have already found
some of the characters for their
next years senior play. Altho both
classes find one of the greatest
hardships in studying these plays
is learning quotations, most of the
students know them the first day.
The reason for this is because last
month few of the juniors who
hadn't learned the required quota
lions found it necessary to recite
before the senior English class.
Miss Bonner looks for better re-
suits this time.
In Miss Bonner's senior English
class the students are studying
Outlines. Miss Bonner feels that
since next year some of the SEN
iors will go on to higher schools,
how to take notes and make out
lines is one of the essentials to
know. Under this study they take
up the different types of outlines,
which are more useful and the cor
rect methods of making them.
The seniors are also learning to
look up references and where to
obtain them. Already a good num-
Der of the class have discovered
books in the library hitherto un-
known.
Miss Mary Addison left last
Thursday to make her home in
Spokane. She has been prominent
in many school activities, especial
ly debating, which she has enter
ed for the last two years. We will
miss her greatly in that line.
Monday noon the students were
greatly surprised and delighted by
a speaker, Ross Jones. who repre-
sents the Curtis Publishing Co. in
the vocational subdivision. His
topic was on craftsmanship, it's
need in the world and some good
pointers in helping on to success
in that line. He gave a little story
that was of great interest to the
English literature students. 1t is
as follows:
ssThe high school lovers are Ro-
meo and Juliet. They had court
shin that was something like the
Midsummer Nights Dream. He
was a persistent youth and she
told him that he made much ado
about nothing. He proposed to her
on the twelfth night and she very
demurely replied Gas You Like
It." So the next morning he hast
ened to town and bought ring
from The Merchant of Venice.
Great preparations were made for
the wedding. The Best Man was
Titon of Athens. The bridesmaid
was Cleopatra. The ushers were
The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Among the notables present were
King Lear. julius Caeser. Macbeth
and Henry VIII. After the wedding
wonderful reception was given
by the Merry Wives OF Windsor:
The happy couple soon learned
that married life was like The
Tempest, and of course. his occu-
patton after marriage was The
Tanning of the Shrew."
