NOTES
IN THE JUNIoR-sENIoR HIGH

IN THE JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH
Students in the seventh grade
social studies division, under Miss
Vittum, are working hard to fin
ish their contracts on time. 1t has
all been fun, and it appears near
~ every one will make the grade
signed for. They would like to
have you come and see their In
dian display.
The Junior High school art
classes are making real progress
in the study Of color. They have
finished the standard colorS, tints
and shades, and are now busy in
the midst of the study of mono
chomatic harmony and analogous
colorings. The originality used in
the various pupils charts is excel
lent.
Due to the fact that Billy Stems
vad transferred to the other divlS-
ion, his class elected Harold Bald
win to take his place as treasurer
of its citizenship club. The
clubs met Thursday and talked
about such matters as name, mot
to, colors and dues. Our chief
aim, during the year, will be good
citizenship and courtesy. Commit
tees were named for making con-
struction and for preparing Hal
loween program. These commit
tees were named by the presl-
dents, Glenn Muetzel and Ken
meth Parsons.
The seventh grade arithmetic
classes are just beginning the
study of percentage. All of the
Penmanship classes are wonder
ing who will be the first individ-
ual to earn an excuse from Pen
manship.
Miss Sturdevant has received
two interesting letters from last
years graduates, who realize the
worthwhile and practical value OF
the High School English course.
One was received from Dwight
Dahmes, whose 'testimoniap
showed that he had found the real
value of High School English
courses. The other was from the
Bue girls, who are attending
Rochester Junior College. AS a
custom of colleges, a special ex-
animation was given to all fresh
man. This examination dealt with
library work. The Bue girls pass
ed the test with the highest
grades, which showed the value of
even the minimum knowledge OF
library work offered in the Red
wood Falls High school.
Advanced Algebra classes are
finding graphing bit difficult or
else they are slow in getting their
work done. After the second day
on the same assignment, the pap
ers were handed in only half COM
pleted.
In a recent biology test the fol-
lowing people received excellent
grades: Mildred Farlee, Ruth
Tordsen, Leona Uhlenkamp, Ar
line Waller, Mary Dwyer, Mar
ilyn Barnes, Glenn Routhe and
Gertrude Whittet. Having compile
ted the study Of leaves, the class
is now considering the stems.
Mary Elizabeth Harris and
Jeanette Hillig, two of last years
graduates visited school Friday.
The German I classes had their
first test last Friday. Sylvia Dah-
mes and Betty Greene received
the highest grades in the eighth
hour class. Another victory for
the women. Since the German
II students had difficulty in re-
calling what they had learned last
year, Miss Chaplin gave them a
comprehensive review test. The
girls again came out ahead, which
goes to prove that the female is
the stronger sex. Geraldine Kem-
nitz, Ellen Karo, Margaret Hen
derson, and Virginia Larson ran
ked high in their grades. Perhaps
this is challenge to the men in
the class.
Latin I students seem to have
a little trouble with pronouncia-
ton. Wayne Cornwell, for instan-
ce, takes his pronunciation of ca
from the sheep. Instead of saying
just "a", he pronounces it as in
baa (like the sheep says it).
Friday, October 9, Merton Ov-
ering gave us one hour of splen-
did and amusing entertainment al
the first assembly program which
