The freshman English classes
are reading Shakespeare,s Mer-
chant of Venice. We expected il
to be dry and uninteresting but
we are finding it just the opposite
not including the parts we do not
understand. The interior and ex-
terror of an Elizabethan Theater
were drawn by the classes. Many
pictures were very well drawn.
Junior Armitage, the freshman
artist, drew a ship on the black
board. It is an excellent piece Of
work.
The Junior and Senior students
gathered at the gymnasium Fri
day at 4 o'clock to listen to the
farewell speech given by David

the many kinds made were: cho-
colate, butterscotch, and apple.

noodle ring. The seventh graders
are getting material together for
their Christmas gifts. ALI home
economics girls are learning to
crochet. Many Of the girls re-
ceived patterns from Miss Baldel-
Ii.
The Physical Education classes
played games this week. Leap
frog, races, dodge 'em, and sever
al others were played. Maybe it
was because these games were
out of the line of our usual proce-
dure that they were enjoyed so
much. We hope we can continue
such sport.
The seventh and eighth graders
have finished their contracts on
The Courtship of Miles Standish
and Dickens Christmas Carol.
Very good dramatizations were

and drawings were handed in.
Our halls are trimmed with

streamers, and Christmas trees
are included. We appreciate the
work and effort put forth in MAX
ing it all so beautiful. It has help
ed to brighten the school and at
the same time bring to us the
Christmas spirit.
Mr.. Tonn's social science class
eS have just completed study of
the banking question. Perhaps
now that we know a little some
thing of the technic of banking
regulations we shall be inclined
to be more thrifty. Next week we
are to take up the principles of
foreign trade. We look forward
to this discussion as the question
is a much debated problem of to-
day.
The fundamentals OF various
machines are now being discussed
in physics. A machine, as we
found it to be through several
practical experiments is any de-
vice which tends to make our
burden less. Several problems
having to do with friction and
power were also encountered by
the students.
The Chemistry students are still
"in the fog" as portion of the
new language which the chemist
must learn remains vague in their
mind. Due to intensive drills,
however, they have made steady
improvement along their various
lines of study.
