The Redwood gazette., 1936-11-12

A combined Armistice day and
American Book Week program is
to be given November 13, in the
Lincoln auditorium, under the
sponsorship of the junior and
senior high school.
Negotiations are now under
way for planning the continuation
of the school news magazine,
''The Reflector" Present plans
include several improvements
The entire student body is well
coming this news, as The Reflect
or gained a popular reputation in
last years debut.
Several students motored to
Minneapolis to be present for the
Minnesota Homecoming ceremon-
les, and visit with friends and re-
latives.
We all wish we were as lucky
as Russ Lauterbach, who is to be
excused from school Thursday,
so that he may leave for Michigan
to see his brother Jack, and Ward
Cuff, play on the undefeated Mar
quette football team against Mis-
sissippi State.
The Girls club held a general
meeting under their new chair
man, Marian Lauterbach. The
question of dues was discussed
and the amount decided on was 10
! cents. Dues are to be paid to the
treasurer, Mary Orth, as soon as
possible. A vote was taken to
decide upon whether or not our
school dances should be contin-
ued. The election was in favor
of them. The first one is schedul-
ed for Friday, November Is.
Gertrude Smith, Frances Parson,
Helen Jackson, Marian Lauter-
bach and Sylvia Dahmes, who
were some of the girls, who atten-
ded the Girls club convention in
Fairmont, gave reports on the
various talks and suggestions
given there. Miss Gilchrist
also explained to the girls proper
etiquette for public dances. Sew
eral of us found some new and
startling rules which we were
surprised to find we were abus-
ing. This proved to be very help
full and should eliminate several
of the problems which arise at
! dances.

We mark off each day of No
vember on the calendar, by post
ing a turkey over the date. A
white turkey indicates snow for
the day, a brown one, clouds; and
a yellow one, sunshine. Last
month little orange jack o. lant-
erns were posted over each date.
We are learning to tell time.
We can tell half past, quarter
to and quarter after quite
readily.
Miss Ellestad and Miss Tronson

We thought our new famous
picture, "The Blue Boy" by
Gainsborough very beautiful. We
wrote stories about this picture
and will add it to our collection
in our famous picture booklet.
| We learned in our Environment
classes that the beech tree is
used sometimes for school desks,
boxes and barrels. The chestnut
trees are used for telegraph poles
and fence posts, while the heno-
lock tree is used for paper, box
es and crates.
