In the Junior Senior High School
English w students have been
studying the three youthful poets
| who died at an early age in Italy,
the paradise of Exiles." They
are Byron, the ardent, rebellious
poet who used nature as a means
of escaping from mankind; She'll
ey, the poet who animated things
of nature as the cloud, sky-lark,
and the west wind; and Keats, the
poet who thought that beauty was
all that mattered in the world.
Can you match these titles with
respective poets: eve of st. Ag-
nes," lode to the West Wind"
"Rimes of the Ancient Mariner.
lode to a Nightingale" and
Prisoner of Chillon?"
The track squad which has fin
ally overcome tn, barriers of the
late spring, are working out on
the tarvia around the Lincoln
school. Poiev2ulters and high
jumpers have dug a new jumping
pit and are preparing a back cor
ner of the school grounds for
practicing their events. The young
discus throwers received their
first lesson under the tutorship of
Clarence Discher Tuesday and
Wednesday,; while Paffrath help
ed the would-be shot putters. In
early workouts Russell Kotval ap-
pears to lead the one-half milers;
Clarence Discher, the one-fourth
milers; and Paffrath, the spinners.
There are hopes at present for de-
veloping strong shuttle hurdle
relay team, consisting of three
low hurdlers running 10 yards
each: Russell Lauterbach, Noble
Starr, and Robert Paffrath will
probably make up this team.
Biology students are making a
collection of food advertisements
for a study of false claims and
gross exaggerations which as you
know, the laws of our country do
not now prohibit. Grace Steven
son has written a letter to the
Minnesota Health Association,
asking for statistics for the past 80
or 40 years death rate from COM
municable diseases in our state.
BY these the class expects to as
certain the progress we've made
in our fight against these diseases.
Work was revived on the Social
Science Census and they will soon
be ready for the class to answer.
Mr.. Tom is using the question
naire as a project for the 1887
fair. Plans were also discussed
for the trip to the State Capitol by
Social Science students which has
become an annual affair. Accord
ing to present plans the trip will
be made May IA.
The Girls Club held a general
meeting with President Marian
Lauterbach presiding. The meet
ing was very informal. Miss Gil
christ pointed out the character
istics of the popular girl. The
third of Miss Gilchrist's parties is
to be held in two weeks.
MIR. Kelly of the Game and
Fish department of the State con-
servation commission, spoke to
the high school students on the
importance of conservation and
the need to be good sports in sport.
AS he spoke, he sketched several
beautiful drawings which made
his speech very delightful. His
sparkling sense of humor also ap-
pealed to the high school students.
In the Grade School
Miss Tronson's room-Grade
We enjoyed reading our new
poem, "April Winds by Lewis.
We liked the poem especially well
because it describes spring time
so beautifully.
We are completing our famous
picture" booklets. On our covers
we made original designs and US
ed the letters which we made
from squared paper. We expect
to display the most attractive ones
at our art exhibit the last of this
month.
Miss James room-Grade 6
We are glad to welcome two
new pupils to the sixth grade.
They are Marion Gluth from Cot
tonwood, and LaVerne Hendrick-
son from Morton
Two sixth graders have had an
| outstanding number of perfect
scores in weekly arithmetic tests.
They are Jean Schenck and Phyl-
lis Corcoran.
So far the boys are winning our
attendance contest. When it is ov-
er, the losers will give program
for the winners.
