NOTES
SENIOR HIGH NEWS

The Shorthand I class is being
given letters to take down in
shorthand and then transcribe on
the typewriters. To be able to do
this correctly we must be careful
in proportioning the characters as
well as writing them correctly.
Good spelling is an asset because
one must know how to spell cor
rectly to be able to type accurate
ly. We are given brief forms on
a phoL ograph record. To be able
to take these accurately in short
hand we must not only know how
to write them, but we must know
them from memory without stop
ping to think how to write them.
We are studying the American
literature during the Revolution
airy period in English III. Do you
know tht the first book written in
America was the BAY Psalm
Book" printed in the 1640's, and
the 'sNew England Primer" in
1890 was the second. The two
greatest pieces of literature writ
ten at this time was the "Declar-
alton of Independence" and the
Constitution. These are usually
not considered literature but in
reality they are. Franklin's writ
ings were taken up. Monday roll
call was taken by giving one of
the many axioms from poor Rich
ards Almanac. Here are a few:
Light purse, heavy heart; s'Dil-
igence is the maker of good luck;
"He who waits upon fortune is
never sure of a dinner; Honesty
is the best bolicy';; sTis hard for
an empty bag to stand upright;
and many others. His "Autobio-
graphy" is considered his greatest
work.

Home Economics

The seventh grade girls are
happy now, because the cooking
unit has started. This week we
prepared fruit such as grapefruit
and oranges. They feel quite
proud of the fact that they each
have individual stoves, equipment
drawers and dishes. Because they
are. the only cooking class at pre-
sent using the cooking room, each
girl takes special pains in keep
ing it looking neat. We have some
very efficient housekeepers.
The eighth grade girls are con-
tinuing the study of the bedroom.
They aren't missing anything. Two
day were spent on pictures. Here
are a few of the rules they learn
ed concerning picture hanging: If
wires are used, use two straight
wires instead of one wire which
makes a v shape angle on top of
the picture; hang pictures at the
eye level so they are easy to look
at; avoid queer hanging arrange
ments of pictures such as "Stair
steps; small pictures look best on
small walls or grouped with other
pictures.
The advanced class in Home
Economics has been having a
week of discussion on "The Girl
and Her Friends" We have made
a list of the qualities we desire in
a friend. Here are some of the inn
portant traits undermining charm:
friendly, sincere, natural, unself-
ishness, democratic. The afternoon
section served three course din
r.er to the superintendent of the
neighboring towns. The theme was
education and some clever ideas
were worked out by the girls.
