speed. The highest average for the
beginners class is forty words a

In German IL projects were
due Friday. A cross section shows
relief maps, wax maps, a soap
scene, Wagnerian Opera booklet,
music booklets, poetry books, and
German literature booklets. One
person even drew an ornate Ger
man Cathedral.
The American History classes
have started the Unit which deals
with the Slavery question and al
so the Mexican War and the
causes of the Civil War. We have
several aims which we wish to ac-
complish; they are the following:
to develop the relationship be-
tween politics and the slavery
question, to understand how the
slavery question permeated our
life from 1910 to 1860, to set
forth conflicting interests of
North and South, to see how
slavery divided our country, to
study political parties and slav-
cry, and to see the reason for the
secession of the Southern states.
We have an outline to follow from
which we are expected to outline
our unit Our material is to be
taken from reference books and
books on slavery.
The Shorthand I classes have
completed all the brief forms. A
test was given on Friday cover
ing all the brief forms which con-
sisted of fifteen sets or the APP
proximate total of two hundred
and seventy. Gertrude Whittet
and Marilyn Barnes received
perfect score on the first one.
The Bookkeeping class, as all
the other classes, is also review
ing. The whole class is going over
the review tests together.

The girls Physical Education
classes have been practicing tum-
bling. Prior to this they had
posture tests, which consist of
walking, sitting and standing cor
rectly. Each persons faults in
posture were corrected. Consider
able time has been spent on
marching also.
The time of the year is past
when students have to cram, and
stay up until the wee small hours
studying for semester exams.
They were given on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Well have to admit
some were a little easier than
others, but none were so easy that
someone didn't have to worry
about passing. These tests count
one-fourth, same as our six weeks
tests, so it is rather important we
pass them with a blue mark. All
classes were urged to study for
them, not after it was over. One
teacher called our attention to the
calendar which showed those days
were in red. (Not for the exams)
We regarded these as anxious
days. These tests are useful for
they aid us in reviewing at the
end of our school year.
