The projects for Book Week are
very interesting. The pupils have
made varied projects and seven
pupils gave the class dramati-
cation which they will give in the
assembly in a few days. In the
cast were Mary Hoffman, Jean
Stephany, Ruth MacDougall,
Dean Muetzel, Maurice Katzen-
berger, Charles Allan and Roder-
ick Baldwin. Some of the pro-
jects that were made included
different types of posters, table
and poster displays of hobby col
Lettings, newspaper advertising
books at the library, and books
that the pupils have read and Civ
ing an interesting incident about
the book.
The advanced home economics
class realized how little they
knew about cuts of meat-(at
least the teacher did, when they
began their discussion on meat.
We hope that this unit will make
us better buyers and that we
won't buy meat like the bride
who asked the butcher for a
pound of beef ''and I want it
rare"

After the Armistice holiday it
is hard to remember what we
have been doing in school. We
have finished the three first ages
in English literature. We are
looking forward with trepidation
to the test Monday because be-
tween trying to get the meaning
out of old English and trying to
understand Chaucer's subtleties
we feel it couldn't be easy.

German II has been chiefly
grammar. In the last weeks we
have been getting passive verbs
and the subjunctive. Today we
had to write a German para
graph on the first age in German
literature. Those old German
names are worse to pronounce
than anything you've ever seen.
We also learned the words to
Brahms Lullaby" but most of
us enjoyed that because we love
the music. We will tell you
frankly it is hard to keep our
minds on school with Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas so near.
DO YOU KNOW?
This is what we learned:
Do you know that Italians build
their villages. on mountain tops
for safety, because this rock is
most stable and offers least dan
ger from slides?
Do you know that the traffic in
Bulk passing through the Sault
Ste. Marie, the canal between
Lake Superior and Lake Huron,
is more than that passing through
the Suez, Panama and Keil can
ais put together?
Do you know that in certain
Swiss villages regulations are en-
forced against the lighting of
fires within houses while the
"fohn" a dry, hot wind from the
south is blowing?
WITH THE GIRL SCOUTS
Because of the large enrolment
the Girl Scouts have been divid-
ed into three troops with Miss
Mary Baldelli, Miss Jean Mclean
and Miss Virginia Guernsey as
captains. Assistants are Miss Ann
Gilronan, Miss Catherine Mclean,
Miss Geneva Thomson, Miss Helen
Meehan and Miss Dorothy Hess
man.
All scouts are working hard and
many have carried awards. La
vonne Lussenhop who aspires to
be Golden Eaglet has passed
tests for four additional badges
toward that award, land animal
finder, fresh water finder, dress
maker and needlewoman. During
the summer camp, Martha Gold
ard Mary Alice Fuller passed
swimming tests and since the
opening of school Jane Greene,
Arlene Herman and Jean Schenck
passed sewing tests; Margaret
Feigal, the fire building test;
Jare Barnes, Mary Katheryn
Schottenbauer, June Waller, Jean
Stebbins and Margaret Dwyer,
map making and Jean Drogosch,
lone Golden Eaglet has acquired
two more badges, motorist and
craftsman.
In Connection with the celebra-
tioy. of Book Week, the first six
grades are visiting the public
library this week.
