The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1931-01-22

Hello, everybody! Here we are
back at school again after two week
of most enjoyable vacation Of par
ties, gifts and other lovely things
ready for work! With semester ex
aminations close at our heels we al
find that there is no time to be vast
ed. Students are trying to pick VI
loose threads that slipped by them il
past discussions and polish up OF
some of the points they vaguely re
member. Besides this we have de-
~clamatory and debate to take up oul
time, and report cards will soon bt
out and we hope to make the manu-
facturers Of red ink try starting the
manufacture of a more pleasing art
lcle such as gold stars.

Senior Class Activities
In our Social Glasses we are re-
viewing our semesters work and pre-
pairing for the semester examinations
to be held sometime next week.
We are going to finish the last
three chapters of our Economic Geo.
graphy this week and the rest of the
time before semester examinations
will be spent in reviewing for the
test.
Our French II Class is reviewing
the regular and irregular verbs for
our test. Several more French let
fers have been received from French
correspondents in France. The let
tiers were very interesting as they
told about the city in which they liv-
~ed and gave descriptions of themsel-
YES as they didn't have a picture of
themselves but they sent some pic
lures of cathedrals and various other
things Of interest.
Our study in English has taken us
cup to Addison and Steele after COM
plotting Milton, Author of paradise
lost" Robinson Crusoe," Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress" and several 9TH
'ers. All these writer's have proved to
he very interesting.
Sophomore Class Activities
This week brings US review. Some
of the students are having good
time because they haven't enough to
do, while others are having to work
diligently.
Modern History finds us going way,
way back to the front of the book
where we started last fall. Review
shows we aren't all as smart as we
think we are.
Biology book is lot better than
the History book for review because
the Biology has brief synopsis of
the chapter in the back. We can read
and we don't have to 60 all through
the chapter. The Sophomore's are
smart in some things but?
English finds most of the Sophie
mores at their "Waterloo." There
are so many little points in which to
remember such as whats the diff
ference between 'participle' and a
egerund.' They both look alike. You
see the Sophomores have tale OF
woe as we'll as anyone else.
Since the Latin students have re-
turned, they have been delighted CD
every day by test on subjects OF
review for semester exams. The first
test was a surprise and marks were
surprisingly low, but by the time the
snext one came round we were ready
for it.

Sturdevant told us to order our pieces
for defamation and to begin learning

On Monday we heard the orations

numbers to determine the order il
which they were to speak.
Miss Huyssen and Miss Mccoy as
sisted Miss Sturdevant in judging
them.
Many of the selections were yer!
well done, so we have the prospects Of
an interesting contest.
The Little Things
It takes so little to make us glad
TO cheer us up, to make us happy;
takes so little to cheer others up VIII
are discouraged, so little to lend ;
helping hand; yet it means so much
to those as well as to ourselves.
We think so much about doing
things that look big in our lives AM
we think so little of the everyda,
small acts Of tH6ughtfulness-o
-kindness-the little helpfulnesses tt
those who are disheartened and dowl
and out. After all, is it not the little
things that make up life?

Well, for one sigh of relief, our de-
clamations are over. On the whole
Miss Sturdevant said, they were Civ

We are going over, once again
