The eighth grade social studies

ton. The Contracts are to be

%.

cussed whom they would like to

This is book week. Invitation
is extended to visitors to come
and see displays in the halls and
in Miss Holmgrens room.
Home economics ninth graders
have certainly been gaining a lot
of new information from the les
sons on meat, poultry and fish.
Some of us never knew that beef
was divided into so many cuts.
Such terms as curing, braising,
consomme, soaring, basting, and
sweetbreads are becoming more
familiar to us. We hope to be-
come more intelligent shoppers.
With the eight graders, most OF
us have started cutting our aprons
and head bands from the patterns
we made. There's a trick to
placing the pattern on so that we
save material! The seventh grade
girls are studying table manners,
table service, and table setting.
We are all trying to improve and
also teach our younger brothers
and sisters better table etiquette.
One girl wrote few stanzas on
Proper Etiquette, as follows:
It's hard to put this into rhyme
But now that I've started it's
coming fine
: Always be to the table on time
For if you don't you be too late
some time.
Be dressed for the day, way
through
Not all silky rich or even new
But clean and colorful, if need
So one will sparkle when you
they see.
Don't sit at the table with a
crouch
Don't sit on the edge Of your
chair or slouch
But sit with a big sunny smile
With backbone of your own
all the while.
On the table never rest your
elbows
With feet fiat not on your toes,
Don't chew with lips open wide
But eat slowly, carefully, and
quiet.
Do not cut up all your meat
And then start it all to eat.
But instead, cut one piece, and
small
And eat it slowly, and later all.
Keep your silver on the plate
For your meals never be late
Be dressed neat, with a smile
that will glow
| Remember these rules, when
you need them you'll never
| know. By Alice Paradee.
The Modern History classes are
studying the growth of absolutism
in Europe. With the exception OF
Don Burris, all the sophomores,
especially Cy Welch, have decid-
ed they'd like to have been a
noble in the palace of Louis XIV.
Jim Pease says he would like to
have been reared like Fred, the
Great. His fathers motto was
not "spare the rod to spoil the
child" The modern history class
es are also beginning work on a
student forum with the question
for discussion, "Fascism versus
Communism"
The American History classes
have just completed the work on
| the American Revolution. Avis
Tompkins and Maynard Steele
are still debating the question as
to which one would have been
commander-in-chief of the Amer

ing the revolution. Avis, who is
