Religious education starts for
children through the eight grades
next Thursday, October 8.
The eighth grade boys have
been organized into four teams
and are competing in a round
robin touch football tournament.
In the first round Capt. Bob Cuffs
team went through undefeated.
The combination Art Neusch-
wander to Bob Cuff is hard to
stop. The other teams are cap
tanned by Ellis Lang, Johnny Won
Mosch, and Homer Day. Homer's
team will need watching in future
game with Paul Kohler nabbing
passes all over the field.
Friday, the seventh grade met
with their advisers, Miss Holm
gren, chairman; Miss Gilronan,
and Mr.. Limburg. The nominat-
ing committee chosen to select
class officers are as follows:
Eleanor Sparks, Jane Barnes,
John Lauterbach, Mary Katharine
Schottenbauer, and Billy Inglis.
The freshman advisers are Miss
Aske, chairman; Miss Dornfeld,
and Mr.. Obermeyer. The follow
ing nominating committee was
chosen at the meeting: Dolores
Neale, chairman; Phyllis Macs,
Howard Hoffman, Elmer Dick
meier, and Bill Tiffany.
1t is difficult to imagine it, but
the miscroscope proves that in the
thickness of a leaf there are four
layers of tiny units called cells.
In two of these, the plant manu-
factures starch out of such raw
materials as water, carbon di-
oxide, and minerals. The Wand
ering Jew, common house plant,
has furnished leaves for the bio
logy classes to study. Through
the frequent use of these peculiar
microscopes, the biologists are
discovering many such queer
facts of the species examined.
The English II students who
have new text books, are busy
getting acquainted with them and
are finding them interesting. Two
sets of fire-saved books have been
returned rebound, and in fine
condition. We are thankful to
have them for use again this year.
One of Mr.. Miller's recent
Solid Geometry tests has caused
a great variety of results. Last
Friday he gave the first Algebra
test for this year, and hopes for
good results. The Algebra stud
ents who are working on graph
ing of equations have chosen
Elizabeth Smith as their sales
woman. The students bring their
pennies to her whenever they are
in need of graphing paper.
The biggest bane in Mr.. Mil
ler's life is to get the managers
around on time, on the days sche-
duled for a football game, to fix
the lines for playing. We are 60
ing to get marble which will stay
white for a longer time so that
the managers may have even
more time for the extra curricular
activities in which they seem so
intensely interested.
Four strong pseudo-democrats
had their little "bang" at the Re-
publican exhibit at the county
fair, Wednesday. They were, in
person, the Four Henchmen of
Mr.. Toms ninth period social
science class. Finding the fair a
little dusty (of course this was
entirely due to the Democrats)
they took refuge in the Landon
tent. The spirit within stirred
and so did their feet. They soon
were enlightened to the fact that
all within the sunfower tent was
not always sunny, for arguing
with Republican gets one no
farther than the door. Perhaps
our teacher forgot to teach us
never to start arguing with a
Republican.
Miss Gilchrist's modern history
students have been spending their
time making projects on the re-
formation. Perhaps Cy Welch
needs a little reforming. The
other day he told the history class
that Ann Boleyn was fiat iron.
When asked to explain he said,
'Well, the history book says that
before Henry VIII was divorced
from Catherine of Aragon, he
pressed his suit with Anne Bole-
yn."
