Junior Class News
The members of the American His
tory classes have begun the study Of
the Civil War. AS you should all
know, the great event in the History
of United States displayed the char
acter of our famous leader, Abraham
Lincoln.
In English, we are studying our
most famous author, Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow. He is the poet
with whom most of us are acquainted
and in whom we are most interested.
Today, we experience our six weeks
test in Shorthand 1. Although it
was what we expected, we were quite
disappointed.
The French / class is fearfully
awaiting the six weeks test Monday.
In Plane Geometery, we are start
ing to study rectangles and their
areas.
Sophomore Class Activities
Biology finds us studying the hu-
man body. There are many technical
words to learn. l don't blame Mr..
Christensen if he loses all patience
because it seems the more we study
the less we know.
In Modern History we are study
ing about Napoleon Bonaparte III.
He followed Napoleon's plans and
improved them in many ways, but he
didn't make them perfect by any mat
ter or means, because he was over
thrown also, and died in exile.
A study of description of persons
is now taking up the valuable time of
the Sophomores. Many of the des-
criptions of the men and women
would have put Anita Page or Buddy
Rogers out of Running"
Physical Sciences
Our work in Physics includes the
study of different kinds of electricity
and how they are produced. AS re-
suit, we know that lightning is the
result of two kinds of electrical
charges being attracted to each
either from cloud to cloud or from
cloud to earth. By our electro--static
machine we made this kind of electri-
city and with it produced flashes of
man-made lightning.
In Chemistry we are studying cal
cium and it's compounds. We finished
glass making, much to our dismay.
This process included the use of Sill
con and boron. In laboratory we fin
ished destructive distillation. This is
used in the production of various
gases.
A Look Into Our Commercial
