reader it is simple to under
stand.
With the fall season approach
ing we have good chance to put
some of our biological facts to
practical use. For instance, one
part of our present study deals
with why tree leaves turn such
gorgeous colors and shed at this
time Of the year. Mr.. Sails in
forms us that hereafter he is 60
ing to keep our test papers as a
line of defense in case some fond
parent demands to know why
Johnnie receives the grades that
he does.
The past week the English II
students have been giving oral
talks which were to be taken
from a newspaper or magazine
article. Although there is room
for Improvement we did quite
well for our first trial. Eileen
Kotval received the highest grade
in our grammar test. Other scores
above 80 were received by Nina
Brace, John Griffin, Bethel Lin
deman, Ken Parsons, Irene She
mon, Douglas Simondet, Irma
Smith, Harriet Tordsen, Margaret
Ann Gaffney, Wilbur Keil, Rose
McGovern, Glenn Muetzel, Ada

The people on the Freshman
nominating committee are Martha
Gold chairman of the commit
tee), Billy Baldwin, James Hos
ken and LaVerne Ahrens.
In Mr.. Bovee's general science
class, Billy Baldwin and Billy
Cook did an experiment in front
of the class. The problem was,
what has air to do with Sound?"
We found out that if there wasn't
any air, we could barely hear the
alarm clock, but as they let the
air in, it became louder.
After three weeks of re-learning
the tables of tours to twelves in
mathematics, we are about ready
to begin to look for the values of
X, y, and all their associates.
The freshmen are unusually
alert and ready to hunt for every
thing and anything, and in a re-
cent quiz not one person received
below seventy-five in what some
would call a difficult test. At any
rate we are making progress and
that's what we are here for. Mr..
Halvorson said, 81 think the fresh
men are not so foolish and they
are certainly up on their toes
when it comes to going after
things worth while"

BAND NEWS
The first out of town trip for
the High School Band was taken
Friday, September 80, when
it played for the Redwood
Tracy football game at Tracy. Be-
tween the halves of the game, our
fifty-four piece marching band
played, "Yea Team" for Tracy,
minnesota Hail to Thee" and
concluded with Mr.. Limburg's
original school song. The Red
wood band marched off the south
end of the field while the Tracy
band marched on the north side
of the field. For the second, and
consecutive time, Mavis Reynolds,
our vigorous drum major, threw
the baton over the goal posts.
(HurrahD
The Tracy band then finished
playing for the rest of the time.
