grade, "a; Jane Woodford and
Lucille SHINING, SO; Ruth Tord-
sen, 90; Marilyn Barnes, 81;
Mary Dwyer and Florence Ten
ney, 80. We have received small
books with many exercise tests
in them. Test number ten must
be finished by Friday. These
tests are all a review of our pre-
vious work, and will determine
what each one knows about
Bookkeeping.
The English III classes have
started the debate unit. We have
found that the purpose of debate
is first to convince your audience
and then persuade them to follow
your plan of action. We have
been divided into groups of six
and four. We will soon decide
our questions to debate on and
will start getting ready our ma
terial for the debate. The date
for the first debate is January g.,
1888.
German seems to be getting
more ( ,resting each week for
the Ge n students. One day
Miss Cory surprised us and gave
us questions to answer in small
test on paragraph which we had
not read before. With the aid of
picture most of the students
were able to answer nearly all the
questions correctly. This was
perhaps more surprising to the
students than to the teacher.
The Shorthand I class has COM
pleted Chaper w. This was a
study of 100" and 'o'' hooks, pre-
fixes and suffixes as en-, in, un,
EN-, i'm, es, ings, ingly, and ing.
The methods of expressing "y''
was also taken up. The students
have worked out some very clev-
er Christmas designs, all in short
hand characters. They are on
display in the Commercial de-
partment. Everyone is welcome
to come in and see them.

The American History classes
completed Unit VI which was a
study of the establishment of the
Government under the New Con-
Stitution and the completion OF
our Independence. We have start
ed the Era Of Good Feeling and
the Jacksonian Era which is TAX
en- up in Unit VII. Those who
wish to do a ''B" contract must
read fifty extra pages on the
unit from at least four books and
make a project. Those who wish
to work for an "a" must read rs
pages and do two projects. We
find the lives of our presidents
are especially interesting. We
wonder what Miss Gilchrist was
thinking of when she called the
smallest of the Alexander boys
" Calhoun" (,maybe she wasnt).
All aboard All aboard for the
trip to the tipping room. My,
how those typists can speed. BY
the end of this six weeks period
they must complete Unit 1S.
Miss Huyssen has set up chart
showing the grade received if
you do a certain number of les
sons of each unit, and the typists
work for the grade they wish to
have. The last two weeks have
been spent tipping Christmas
poems and stories, and we also
find many attractive covers made.
The record is being held by Ber-
nice Moritz and Mary Jean Rog-
ers. They have typed thirty
three and thirty-four words per
minutes for ten minutes.
