SCHOOL NOTES
In the Grade School

III tuC NIE6UC 0C1kOO4
Second Grade
Janet brought us cotton boil.
We wanted to know more about
cotton, so read a story about it in
our readers. We learned that
many of the things we wear are
made of cotton.
Rows 1, 4 and 5 had zoos in
spelling Friday. Their automo-
biles arrived in Chaska with a
happy crew aboard.
Third Grade
The Third Grade club elected
new officers Friday: president,
Clarence Johns; vice president,
John Simpson; secretary, Robert
Budik.
The narcissus bulbs which Car
oil Lynn and Carol Cassmann
brought to school are budded and
will blossom next week. We are
enjoying them.
Mrs. Falk and Mrs. Pelz visited
the third grade this week.
We have been making free
hand cutting Christmas pictures
to be used for Christmas cards.
Thirteen pupils now belong to
the Reading Club. They are voted
in by the pupils if they observe
all the standards in reading. They
must read smoothly, clearly and
loud enough. They must stand
tall and hold their boks in their
left hands. Most of the children
have been trying to read many
books so they can fill their book
shelves. Carol Lynn was the first
to get her book shelf filed. 9th
er pupils who have theirs almost
filed are Betty Jean Huhnerkoch
and Jacqueline Falk. Still other
children who are reading books
are Mary Baldwin, Dorothy Pelz,
Eugene Starr and Billy Won
MoSch.
Grades 4 and S
Officers for December have
been elected in the Civic League
of the fourth and fifth grades.
They are president: Erwin Her
mann; vice president, Marion
Orth; Secretary, Betty Ann Her.
mann.
The fourth graders are feeling
justly proud of themselves lately
and are pointing with pride to
their classmate Albert DAILY. Al
bert recently won the fourth
grade multiplication tournament.
On Friday the winner of the
fourth grade met the winner of
the fifth grade, Erwin Hermann
and won a victory over him, so no
wonder the fourth graders are
happy.
Sixth Grade
In Geography we are beginning
the study of Germany. We find it
is a country of many industries.
In Language we have begun
studying parts of speech. So far
we have learned to recognize the
common and proper noun.
The Grades
We are beginning to practice
Christmas Carols during music
period. On the last day of school
we plan to sing them around the
Christmas tree in the lower hall.
Junior Senior News
In conclusion of their fall work
on color, the Junior High School
Art classes are painting water
color scenes, which they are COW
ering with glass and framing. The
beauty of the work is remarkable.
Every member has a right to feel
proud. Unusual talent has been
discovered and developed, and in
addition, it has been lots of fun.
The Junior High School Cour-
tesy Clubs are to be highly COM
plimented in putting their aims
into real use this past week when
they carried on their classes alone
in such admirable manner.
.
The Junior High School hall is
a beautiful place these days with
its lovely tree and realistic bulle-
tin board. The latter shows a
scene of a quaint village with a
lovely tree upon the lawn alight
with multiple blended shades
from a latticed window. We
would like to have you see it.
The pupils of Miss Vittum's
home room have decorated their
room in blue and silver. Their
tree is lovely in all blue lights, as
well as their blue and silver bor-
ders and candles.
The Junior High School pupils
are to present a Christmas play
and take this means of telling the
