REPORTED BY THE FRESHMAN ENGLISH CLASS

MISS hOSS anu MISS JOuuSOuJ Will
their 63 first year pupils found
themselves in new quarters on the
opening day of school. The little tots
were very fretful the first few days.
Many children were heard crying for
their parents. One little girl cried
nearly every day for the first week
Friday afternoon after her father
left her at school and was turning
the corner, she ran out of school,
followed by her teacher, who brought
her back. Now the little tots seem
so busy that they can't be otherwise
than cortented.

Miss Ornston's and Miss Jones
second grade pupils think 1t great
honor to be in a new room. And,
though they have already had one
year in school, still some are long
ing to do nothing but play in the
open air.
Mrs. Cordrey frequently interests
the girls of the third grade in a new
dance, called the Swedish Clap
Dance"
O&O
Last week the pupils of grade four
under the instruction of Miss Carter
and Miss Markert studied the In

studying the Eskimo.
O&O
Miss Carter's section is enthusias-
tic about a 5000 mile automobile
race to California. Each row has
been given the name of an automo-
bile. Which car will reach Califor-
mia first is the question. Points for
good behavior, good recitatlons, ana
nunctuality mean miles. Pupils in
each row are passengers. A pupil
that holds back a row is placed in
an extra row. Chewing gum counts
five off. The tardiness of a person
in one row increases the miles tray
eled by all other rows miles. A
nerfect spelling mark in a row
means 5 miles nearer CALIFORNIA. IL
three pupils in row make per
feet mark, the passengers OF tnat
row are Is miles nearer the Pac1hc
coast The LaSalle car is leading

feur. 1t has Travelled ia miles.

here are starting a museum OF pro-

The Freshman class Of twenty
Home Economics girls on Monday,
September 9, canned peaches by the
cold mack method. Tuesday they
canned them by open kettle method.
Wednesday they cold-packed toma-
toes and Thursday we canned toma-
toes again by the open kettle meth
cd. Our canning has continued
through this week such as canning
pears and beans.
OAO
The Freshman class has always
had the largest number on the roll,
but this year, the Sophomores have
the assembly room because they
have a much larger list of pupils.
Therefore, the Freshmen have the
privilege of using the lockers. The
class is having a great time with
science problems. They seemed diff
cult at first, but with the help of our
instructor everything is fine.
DAD
After our Latin I class became ac-
customed to speaking few words,
we decided to do something that
would be more help to us. Wednes-
day we wrote a story an any subject |
we thought we could describe best in
not less than five sentences. Another
day we composed and acted plays.
The following is one that we acted
written by a member of our class.
