JUNIOR SENIOR HIGH

JUNIOR SENIOR HIGH
Tuesday was a red letter day in
the lives of all the students (for
some those words can be taken
literally for that day the report
cards were issued. Speaking for
the Junior High school the teach
ers report that there were fewer
failures this year, the credit for
which is given to the hour per-
iodS.
We are reminded that one sixth
Of the school year is over. Some
Of the students can well be proud
of themselves, some students can
take their red marks, not as a
sign of failure, but as a resolution
to prevent any possibility of red
decorations on the card again.
Miss Holland, librarian, took
her turn as instructor this past
week, when the English I stud
ents went there for instruction in
the use of the library.
First Miss Holland taught the
position Of various books on the
shelves. The English class was
shown that the books they most
often use are both in the juvenile
and adult sections of the library.
How to use the card catalog, the
leaders guide, the way to locate
the desired books, and the library
rules were also learned.

happened and can not be recalled.
We were told in class that when
Mr.. Salzwedel isn't in our room
and we are little loud" any
one can hear us if the switch on
our new system is turned on in

transmitting that even though its
purpose is to send announcements
10 us, not to listen to us.
