SENIOR HIGH NOTES

The Senior High School put on
very good Christmas program Friday
afternoon. Miss Jacobson was fac
ulty advisor with Ethel Stebbins as
student chairman and assistants,
Alice Melges, Ruth Wells, Mildred
Foreman, Jack Lauterbach, and Mar
vim Stensvad.
The program was Christmas pro-
gram in Country School with F'rleda
Voeltz as teacher and Echoe Macs,
Dorothy Ewart, Mary Gibson, Eloise
Kernal, Harlan Jaehning, Archie
Dennistoun, and Erwin Ewart as her
pupils.
Names were drawn last Tuesday.
Gifts bought were not to exceed the
sum of 1Oc. The presents were dis
tributed at the program.
We are all rather anxious to see
vacation drawing near and school
duties coming to close Friday.
The student body of the Senior
High extends their wishes for
MERRY Christmas and a Happy New
Year" to all our teachers and friends.
Sports
The second home game and third
victory of the season occurred last
Wednesday when the Redwood team
met a veteran team from Lamberton.
Out of 80 tries we made but five
baskets. The final score was IL to 8
Maybe someone in the team failed to
"kiss the rabbit foot"
Senior Class Activities
Our Economic Geography class
has started the section of the book
dealing with regional factors. We
have thus far studied the regions OF
commerce, the United States and its
physical divisions and possessions,
miscellaneous parts of North Amerl-
ca as Canada, Latin North America,
and West Indies; and we are now
starting South America.
The French II class received their
French paper Monday. The name OF
it is, LIE Petit Bulletin There are
some very clever pieces including
Jokes, poems, editorials, etc., all OF
which were contributed by some
member of the class. We read an
other chapter in our reader, LIE
Petit Chose" this week and are TAX
ing up our French subscription paper,
"Le Petit Journal"
Our Social Science classes have
been discussing the problem OF Inn
migration in the United States. We
have learned why foreigners want to
come into the United States, and
some of the restrictions which our
government has placed against them.
We also read an article in the Liter
airy Digest to the effect that If we
would exclude immigration it would
help solve the unemployment problem.
The English students have just
finished their study of Bacon. We
find that his works are very hard to
understand. ~
Junior Class Activities
American History has been espe-
cially interesting the past week be-
cause Miss Mccoy has given US a
quiz every day. She also ended the
week by wishing us all a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
To our surprise, Miss Sturdevant
gave the boys of the English Ill
classes a Christmas present and
didn't give the girls any; but after
all it wasn't very much-only that
the orations of our Defamation con-
test were postponed until the Monday
after vacation.
We have been reviewing in the
Shorthand l class this past week.
Sophomore Class Activities
In Modern History we are studying
the French Revolution. Louis XVI
must have been "quite q character"
one of the types who say yes to
eye,y ching but does nothing.
We went around the world this
week in English. Each person in the
class had to read travel sketch out
of a National Geographic Magazine.
It was very interesting and / don't
think one part of the globe was miss
ed.
In Biology the amount of calories,
vitamins, and all the rest of the para
phernalia is under the scrutinizing
gaze of the Sophomore Class of 1880
and 81. 1t is quite remarkable, the
amount of "stuff" those "knobs of
ivory" we call heads, can hold.
We have continued with the study
of Livy (that is the undressing
part). However, Wednesday we
learned Christmas carols, Come all
We Faithful" and "Silent Night" in
Latin. We had all verses. / wonder
if the Romans sang like we did?
