Senior Glass


Mr.. Limburg is really going to
enjoy teaching music this year
because of the facilities in the
new school building. We have a
large rehearsal room with a rails
ed floor for the different divisions
of the band and orchestra and
lockers for all instruments. The
room is completely sound proof.
There are two adjoining small
rooms, which can be used for
private or group practicing and
are also sound proof.
We have just nicely started all
of our classes. AS yet, we are
not doing anything special be-
sides regular class work and be-
coming acquainted with our
wonderful new building. The
Senior class can probably appre-
ciate this school more than the
other classes because we are the
only students who attended school
in the old Senior High building.
Many amazed faces greeted our
new principal Mr.. SalZwedel,
when he walked into the senior
social science class for many of
the people did not know Mr.. Tom
was not to teach it this year. An
other new teacher the seniors
have in a regular class is Miss
Corey our new German and La
tin teacher. Being unaccustomed
to the address of Fraulein and
Herr when called upon the first
day, we did not know when to
respond. But we've got it now
and defy her to catch us on that
score.
Junior Class
Once again the summer vaca-
ton days have come to a close
and we are all back for another
nine months of "readin', Writin' =,
and 'rithmetic." Very proud are
we, indeed, to be the first Junior
class in this marvellous new build
ing. We are also glad to find so
many new members in our class
and wish to welcome them to our
school hoping sincerely that each
and every one of them will thor
oughly enjoy their work with us.
Mr.. Toms chemistry classes
have been studying the metric
system of weights and measures,
which will be used a great deal
in connection with our laboratory
work.
English III students have been
reviewing the various parts of
speech and have been analysing
sentences. AS Friday was the
one hundred and fiftieth anniver-
sary of the writing of the Consti-
tuition, we wrote compositions on
the subject of this famous his
torical document. Some interest
ing and well-written compositions
were read before the class. Each
pupil is expected to get up before
the class Monday and give a
three minute discussion on some
important current event.
The American History classes
during the past week have been
studying the relationship of
European history and American
history and also the subject of
explorations and the Indians in
America.
Miss Huyssen's bookkeeping
students have been studying some
of the simple terms used in book
keeping and are analyzing simple
business transactions. We find
that this course not only affords
great business opportunities but
also is of value in keeping a
systematic account of ones own
personal financial affairs.
Shorthand students are becom-
ing acquainted with shorthand
characters such as the circles,
lines and dots. They have already
learned some of the brief forms
which can be compared to a voca-
bulary in a foreign language.
They are now phrasing which is
the process of joining brief forms
into words and sentences. Miss
Huyssen says that her class this
year is very promising and that
among her students there are a
great number of prospects for
future stenographers.
In Advanced Algebra the pupils
are reviewing the fundamental
operations of elementary algebra
