ISOLATION, they will receive pub

The National Hi-Y Fellowship is
a branch organization of the Y.
M. c. A. The program included
impromptu speeches by the MEM
bers. Russell Zitzmann was the
POSTMASTER who called on Robert
Alexander, Russell Kotval, Arden
Odegaard, Allan Fobes, Louis
Kruger and Paul Asleson to give
short talks.
Now that the semester examin-
ations are over, the classes are
beginning new units of English
work. English w classes have
started the Classic or Restoration
Age when Charles II was put
back on the throne. We find that
the literature of the age is very
artificial and elegant, for the peo-
pie thought it should appeal to
the mind instead of the emotions.
In this age, 1660-1774, the novel
found its beginning; the essay
became more familiar; diaries
were published which were very
personal; and the people were
very worldly, even to the extent
of demoralizing character and in
decency. Two famous poets of
this age are Pope and Dryden;
two prose writer's are Swift and
Defoe, whose writings were fore
runners of the novel; and writers
for the informal essay were Adj
olson and Steele. Dryden wrote
outing odes; Pope perfected the
heroic couplet; and Evelyn and
Pepys wrote diaries, whose pub
LEGATION shows personal remini-
censes and historical facts of Eng
lands plague and great London
fire.
English III students started the
American Literature unit. Mon
day, the Students will have a dis
play of old books. Miss Sturde-
want has an old copy of Faith
er's Advice to His Daughters"
published in 1921. They are also
sure of copy of poor Richards
Almanac" for the display. Their
attitude and interest along this
line of literature should produce
a very fine collection.
English II students have COM
pleted their work on Julius
Caesar" and have learned to
quote spot passages such as: eft
tn Brute" and Beware the ides
of March"
Biology classes have been fol-
lowing discussion on foods and
what each type does for the body.
Reports were given on diseases
such as; scurvy, berri-berri, pol
lagia, and ricketts,, which are
caused by food deficiency. Those
reporting on scurvy were Wayne
Cornell, Marilyn Barnes, and
Richard Annis; reports on berri-
berri were given by Betty Serk-
land, Dolores King, and Claude
Knowlton; pollagra by Vivian
Hammond, James Kelly, and
Katherine Treu; ricketts, by Max
inc Hemmingson, Marjorie Gan
mott, and Gertrude Whittet.: Three
delegates were appointed by Miss
Myhre to visit a creamery and
find out how to pasturize milk.
They also found out what certi-
field and grade A milk are, by
their questions and observations.
Those chosen were Mavis Rey-
nolds, James Pease, and Walter
Hoepner.
James Finn received the high
est grade in the semester test in
seventh grade history.
Perfect papers were written in
the eighth grade English examin-
alton by Ada Mertz and Donald
