We were glad to see Burton Will
lis in his accustomed place on Mon
day after a weeks absence because
of illness.
Mrs. Harrington's section fulfilled
their agreement to give Mrs. Water
houses section surprise if they
should lose in the spelling contest
between the two sections. First of
all the class sang a Halloween
song. Following this the witch ap-
peared with fortunes. Each fortune
with an appropriate rhyme was
wrapped. separately. The girls for
tunes were tied with white strings
and the boys with green. These for
tunes furnished much fun and laugh
ter. Next the crystal ball was used as
a means of looking into the future.
Mrs. Warehouses; section also add
ed number in the form of play,
to the program which was greatly
enjoyed. Home made candy, nuts
and apples were served.
The following pupils in Mrs. Wa
terhouse's. division were perfect in
attendance during October: Webster
Eckstrom, Justus Hudson, Edward
KINNEY, John Mills, Edmund Pa
quette, Willard Pierce, William Ste
vens, Jean Webb, Marian Warren,
Elizabeth Truitt, Beatrice Marvel,
Dorothy Fitzgerald, Jeanette EN-
ory.
The pupils in this section enjoyed
very much the treat prepared for
them by Mrs. Harrington's pupils on
October 81, as a reward for winning
the spelling contest.
The M Club, the Athletic Club of
the high school, is at present plan
ming a party to discuss few facts
and new ideas about basket ball, to
learn something about what is going
on in the world of sports today and
something about the most able ath-
letes.
The Weaving Club started last
week weaving mats. This week they
began the making of vases and bas-
kets.
The Biology section of the Science
Club has been talking on birds and
insects for two weeks. Last week FL
len Sipple gave description of the
monarch butterfiy's life history.
Then, too, an eagle killed by a man
in town was brought to school by
Tom Burn to show the class.
The chemistry section of the
Science Club had an unusually pleas
ant meeting last week. They made
pottery out of clay. One or two mem
bers of the club have receptacles
ready to bake in the oven. At the
meeting this week they colorited
their dishes. Coloriting seemed a
very good substitute for glazing.
This experience has served as an in
PRODUCTION to the appealing subject
of ceramics.
The astronomy section of the
Science Club has been studying We
nus from the point of view whether
it is inhabited or not. The atmos-
pheric conditions were considered
for this purpose. A comparison be-
tween the Earth and Venus proved
interesting.
The letters of stars names not in
order were re-arranged to spell Is
well known stars. This was most
useful for acquainting the members
of the club with stars with which
they should be familiar.
Mr.. Shilling recently received
from the National Lumber Manufac-
turers Association, Washington, D.
c., an interesting souvenir of histor-
ical interest in the form of block
of wood made from the timbers of
the wood trusses which were re-
moved from the roof of the White
House at the time it was remodeled
two years ago. The block will be
preserved and kept as permanent
display at the school.
