education class, Cuffs team leads
in touch-football. With the sew
enth graders, the first game of
touch-football scored 90. Chuck
Young's team won 60. An inter-
cepted pass was made by Billy
IngliS.
George Steele, feeling very con-
fident, wrote a heading on his
mathematics paper that he would
accept nothing less than 100 as
a grade. He must have had basis
for his confidence because he re-
ceived the highest mark of this
years mathematics course. The
coaches are using him as an ex-
ample for the boys who are in
eligible for playing football.
The biology classes are con-
sidering the structure and types
of plant roots. In the laboratory
they are examing carrots, grass
roots, and root hairs on such
rapidly growing plants as the
wandering jew. How trees grow
taller, how they grow in diameter
and how annual rinys are formed,
were taken up just prior to roots.
Physics students received
pleasant shock last week when
Mr.. Tom announced he would
not be in class, as he was going
to scout the Montevideo football
game. When they came to class,
however, they found another
shock which wasn't so pleasant.
It was in the form of very hard
test on Atmospheric Pressure and
Force Pumps.
An assembly program was held
last Friday which served two pur-
poses. First, the various classes

ton of Mr.. Limburg, played the
school song which added zest to
our program.

Minnesota Day was honored in
several ways Friday. The bulle-
tin board in the second floor cor
ridor, the west wing of the Lin
coin High School, was artistically
covered with photographs and
pictures of Minnesota scenes.

and the student body sang the
song. The band also played the
song in the business district dur

New desks were installed in
four home rooms. In fact, they
were so new the paint rubbed off
them. Special trucks were used
to transport them here. They will
be replaced in the new high
school upon its completion, ac-
cording to present plans.
Students in the typing classes
have been taking tests one day
each week to check up on their
ability in handling the typewriter
efficiently. The day the test is
