Physical Sciences


The Chemistry classes have just
completed thorough study of a very
useful and well known metaLalum-
mum. Two other familiar metals
tin and lead-hold our attention for
the present. In laboratory, we have
been working on the preparation OF
aluminium and simple salts-not so
simple, by the way!
The human eye, the camera lenses,
microscopes, and telescopes were
topics of study in Physics last week.
The general subject was eight" but
it was hard to see through at times.
A Look Into the Commercial
Department
The final contestants chosen for
the district Commercial Contest held
here April 10 were as follows:
Typing I: Contestants, Louise
Halves and Raymond Lindeman and
alternates Margaret Smith and Del
ores Selke.
Advanced Shorthand: Contestants,
Eunice Mcnamara and Ethel Steb
bens. Alternates Margaret Hoffman
and Airline Stewig.
Advanced Typing: Contestants, Eu-
nice Mcnamara and Charlotte Japs.
Alternates Marjorie Martin and
Katherine Hedges.
Tipping II
Condensing kilograms down to ten
words is not so easy as it may seem.
Radiograms and kilograms are ex-
tremely interesting to study, and we
know that they are practical
Gregg Glimpses
In Shorthand II we have been prac-
ticing the phrase drills given in our
Gregg Writer'S.
The following people have received
their competent typist certificates:
Marjorie Martin, Ethel Stebbins,
Margaret Hoffman, Katherine Hedg-
es, Eunice Mcnamara, Arlene Samp-
son, Ruth Wells, Raymond Lindeman,
Margaret Smith, and Louise Halves.
Notes of Interest
The second innoculation for dipth-
eria was under way at the Lincoln
building, starting last Thursday.
Three of the characters of the
Junior High play, "Ducks" were here
Friday and gave us few "quacks"
of their play.
The Senior Glass is making ar
rangements for class pictures. Prac-
tice for their class play, "It Happen
ed in june" is now we'll under way.
Miss Sturdevant is coaching so we
are looking forward to the best play
our class could give.
Spring
Our heartaches and sorrows to the
wind have fed.
Joys and good times have come in
stead;
We have guesses by the trees and
flowers
"Spring" come and with it the
showers!
Showers may come and rains may
go.
But we're happy for them in place
of snow.
The wind has announced by it's gen.
tie blowing
That all Gods plants will soon be
growing.
All the birds are here from the
sunny south.
And soon they'll be feeding hungry
mouths;
Many will fly to the tree top tall,
And there make their homes till the
coming fall.
We hear from the hilltop the call
of the thrush
Who is building its home in the un-
| derbrush.
Our attention is called to the
steeple above
Where we hear the wooing of the
cooling dove.-Beth Bravinder.

In English we spent most of our
time in finishing the poem, ''The Lady
of the Lake." The rest of the time
was spent in reviewing work for the
six weeks examination.
The study of radicals in Algebra
seems rather confusing, but we find
that if we learn the rules they are
comparatively easy. We also had our
six week examination.
We find the study of the human
body is easier than some of the work

the study of bacteria was still more
simplifed.
We have just completed our Latin
book, and so we are going to have six
weeks of review.

ness and grace of a dainty sheer

There is quite a subtle line of

For instance crepe andante is, in

Benches and chairs which had

But the wind said when the

"Well, this has done me good" he
said.
Il do believe, too, that it has
done the grown-ups and children

p OMANCES are rather rare in
~ most business offices, but in
the well-regulated Office Of the Star
Life Insurance association they
did not exist. Numerous girls
worked there-typistS, stenograph-
ers, filing clerks, doing monotonous
routine work from nine till five
every working day.
SO when Grant Bradford showed
symptoms of being very seriously
interested in Rose Fairfax, the
new girl in the filing department,
much curiosity was aroused. Grant
Bradford went so far as 10 tell
one Or two of his associates with
whom he worked, compiling alb
struse statistics. that he greatly
admired Rose Fairfax.
Sometimes people wondered
about Rose Fairfax. She was the
daughter of a fairly well-tO-dO doc
tor up town. She had just been
graduated from college. Obviously
she did not need to work for her
daily bread, yet even more obvious
ly she was not one of those girls
who work only that they may have
finery. Most girls would have looked
dowdy in the plain old clothes
that Rose wore, only Rose couldn't
have looked dowdy if she had tried.
Somehow she impaired an air of
distinction and smartness to any
thing she had on.
Then people began to wonder
about Grant. He was considered
something of a wizard in his work
as statistician and received really
good salary for a man of his age.
SO far as his associates knew he
had no dependents. nor did he seem
to be a hOarder-yet he ate at one
of the most inexpensive places in
the neighborhood. never wore new
