Business Methods Glass

In the Ninth grade business
method classes, students have the
privilege of doing extra work. This
work is to learn the key to write on
a typewriter. The lack of machines
has prevented this from becoming
a class project, but individuals may
do work during study periods, and
before and after school. The classes
hope to get more typewriters so
that more pupils may gain this ex-
ira knowledge.

Junior High Clubs

The six clubs of the Junior High
School were organized during the
past week.
The Hobby ana Science club,
which is guided by Mr.. Kowalke,
discovers the hobby of each individ-
ual, which is taken up in some

means of outside speakers and field
trips, which are of interest to the
majority of the members. The Of
ficers are as follows:
President-Roman Lisowski. =
Secretary Treasurer Robert
Edwards.
The Art Club conducted by Miss
Powers, has already started their

mission will be charged this game
is well worth seeing. If you caunt
get ride out, the walk will do you
good.
The Dramatic and Defamation
Club of which Miss Bright is the
director have chosen as their Of
ficers: Rosanne Schoenhoff, presi-
dent. and Mary Margaret Barron,
secretary-treasurer. This club plans
to present numerous skits to the
assembly during the year and they
are also planning to study persona
tons and dancing.
Health
1t is the custom every year TO
weigh all the grade children. Each
weight and height is recorded to"
gether with the average weight.
Heights and weights have been
completed for the first six grades.
Of this group sixty-five are 1870 or
more under average weight. Eat
more; Sleep more" is the slogan to
be adopted by this group. Poor eat
ing and sleeping habits are not al
ways the cause of underweight. In
fected tonsils and defective teeth
as well as other physical defects
tend to keep a youngster below
par.
Many children do not drink
enough wholesome milk. MIX
helps keep growing child in trim
and fills them with vigor.
The Health Department offers
each pupil chance to drink milk
during school hours for a very
small sum each week. Parents,
why not let your child have a
chance to come up to par? Child
rem, let's see you tip the scales up
to average.
Grades
The First grade have three gold
fish. They are growing rapidly,
and the children are watching
them with intense interest.
Miss Chapman's pupils have re-
ceived new readers and workbooks
this week. They are cutting out
freehand squirrels and colored
leaves for an October calender.
Miss Henkers pupils have also
received new readers. They are
working on the Three Bear wall
hangings and have started circus
booklets.
The Third grade began their
Halloween decorations this week.
They are also filling their health
kit with the help of the school
nurse.
Miss Flaten's pupils are rapidly
acquiring a remarkable Indian col
lection. They have wigwams,

Girl Scouts

Mrs. Clark has taken over the
leadership of the Girl Scouts. Prev
ious to this year the Girl Scouts
was a school organization in which
some of the teachers were the
leaders. The Scout leader of the
Senior Troop was Miss Wilson and
her lieutenant was Miss Ranstad.
The leader of the Junior troop was
Miss Thomey and her lieutenant
was Miss Henkels.

Pen Fest

What a spirit! What a spirit!
Just before the game with Foley
the Senior High students gathered
together between the two school
buildings and gave the boys a big
send-off. Everyone present put all
they had into it. The pupils from
the Junior High building were
there. They didn't lend a hand in
the yells, but they surely added a
great number to the crowd. The
bows came back winners of the
game. If only the group that gave
the wells could have been at the
game-what a representation Sank
Centre would have had. AS it was
the pep of the student body was
surely shown at the Pep fest and
the boys must have taken all their
pep along with them.
Not all students were present at
the last pep fest but we surely
hone they'll all be at the next one.
The three cheer leaders have the
cheering well in hand and they
certainly show a lot of enthusiasm
If one leader becomes winded
there is another bubbling over
with pep to take her place. Pep?
We have it,

And that reminds me of a

Nearly every public speaker
uses this phrase as an introduc-
duction to a yarn which he
implies has just come to his
mind.
Whereas he has carefully Sc
lected the story in preparing
his talk so that it may fit into
his address at the certain point
where he injects it.
Few men are good story tel
lerS.
The address of most speakers
would be better if the stories
were omitted.
Even if they are we'll told,
usually they are so old that
people want to groan when they
hear them.
1t is taught, oratorically. that
humorous story should be
used to relieve the motony of
a talk that is especially serious.
Often a story is Illuminating
and impresses a point which
the speaker wishes to bring
out more clearly, !-:t more
often they have little bearing
on the main thought.
The speaker who attempts

partner comes first.
With this in mind there

Man should be the head of

Woman should be the queen

Sweeter, make sacrifice easier

Children mean a threefold
interest in home, church and

Home life is more perfectly
balanced when full responsible

Young persons before they
marry should have set aside
enough to pay for more than
the bare necessities.
