The Puppetiers went to the
Home School Thursday afternoon
to see the puppet show, Moon
Fairy. given by the girls there.
They thought 1t was very good and
were glad Of the opportunity to
see someone else's work.
They saw a Negro play and tried
their skin In the two side shows at
throwing darts and balls. In the
main hall they saw the exhibits Of
cooking ana sewing done by the
girls of the Home School.
The Puppetiers have several
members who are working on their
second puppet. The club met We'd
nesday and planned the plays they
would like to give. They expect to
present their first play as part of
the junior high Christmas program.
Some time this year the puppet
show, Hansel and Gretle. win be
given.
In observation Of book week the
seventh grade English classes
made very attractive book jackets
and book markers. The eighth
grade gave informal talks about
their favorite story-book charac-
tiers. while the ninth grade did in
dividual reading. They had the
Newberry books from the library
to read. They are the books from
1922 to the present time. They have
been judged as the best children's
books written during that time.
On November 18, Conrad r.
Shaver presented to the junior
high school assembly a movie IL
Illustrating the different types Of
iron mines in Minnesota, materials
used, and working facilities. A
mong the mines pictured were the
Tower, which Is the worlds oldest
and deepest mine; the Hibbing
openpit mine; the Shenango mine,
the deepest pit in color; and sever
al smaller ones. How the ore is
dug by huge steam and electric
shovels, loaded into trucks and
conveyed to the concentration
plants was shown at Keewatin and
Nashwauk mines. The inside of the
worlds largest concentration
plant, located at the Prockton was
shown, and 1t was interesting to
note how the ore was washed and
crushed. The Calumet process of
washing and scrubbing the ore is
used. The ore Is sprayed with
streams Of water until the dirt and
rock that does not contain ore is
washed out. The water is drained
off and the ore is crushed. Mr..
Shaver stated that the companies
do not use materials that have less
than seventy-seven percent of ore
In it, and because the state will not
let them waste it, it is made into
scrap iron at Duluth. Situated at
Duluth is one of the two lift
bridges of the world, and the only
one in the United States. This
bridge is lifted up so boats carry
ing ore can go under it. Another in
teresting fact is that more dirt has
been taken out Of the Cleveland
Cliff mines than was taken from
the Panama Canal.
Mr.. Shaver helped to fight the
PaloIMarkham forest fire in the
northern part of the state and took
this opportunity to take pictures Of
it. Some of the pictures were illus
trated in colors which made the
pictures more interesting to the
audience. These pictures made one
realize why forest fires should be
prevented. The movie was enjoyed
by everyone and they hope to have
Mr.. Shaver with them again next
year.
