ART
The pupils Of the third grade
classes are busy making letter op-
eners for Christmas presents. These
openers are made out of throat
swab sticks. They are sawed into
the right size and shape, and then
colored with colored crayons. Shell
lacking then completes the project.
The art students of the fourth
grade classes are making tea tiles
for Christmas presents. These tea
tiles are made out Of composition
board. Theyy too, are colored with
color crayons and shellacked.
The pupils Of the 5th grade class
The Sauk Centre herald., 1938-12-22

es are also making letter openers.
However these openers are a little
more complicated. They are made
out Of cigar boxes. They are sawed
into the right size and are shellack-
ed. They then are painted with
temper paints. The result is some
very nice looking, useful gifts.
The Junior high classes are MAX
ing various Christmas projects and
along with these projects they have
been doing some lettering work.
The Junior high art classes are al
so responsible for the lovely way
in which the Junior high assem-
bly, Is decorated for the coming
holidays. On the back windows
they put window transparancies.
It says, Merry Xmas" and each
piece on the window has some
Christmas scene on it. These are
made on construction paper and
painted with linseed oil to make
them transparent. There are life
size Christmas drawings on the
side walls. These drawings are
made on newsprint paper and the
designs are made with colored
chalk. The front blackboard has
colored Christmas picture which
was drawn by one of the 9th grade
students, Gordon Hedin. A beauti-
full Christmas tree with lights of
all colors completes the Christmas
scene.

MAIN STREET STAFF

The Next Main Street will be the
week Of January 16. There will be
no Main Street the week Of Janu-
ary 8, which is the first week OF
school after vacation.
The Christmas season, with the
gayly wrapped packages, people
rushing back and forth, the bril-
liant decorations and colored lights,
is in full swing. Sorrow Is forgot
ten in this time Of rejoicing and
thoughts turn to the home and
family. Santa Claus and the spirit
of giving resign supreme. Receiv-
ing and giving are not all that make
up the true Christmas spirit, rath-
er the spirit in which they are CIV
en- is what truely counts.
This custom dates back to the
birth of Christ, when the three
wise men following the guiding star
arrived at the manger where the
Christ child lay, and there they
presented their gifts Of gold, frank
incense and myrrh. These gifts
expressed their feeling Of love and
worship for this beautiful babe.
This is what our gifts should do
carry q feeling Of love and friend
ship for the receiver.

LIBRARY NEWS
The library celebrated its grand
opening Tuesday, December 18th,
by giving tea First the guests
were given a chance to inspect the
improvements and additional equip
ment, then were given tea, which
was prepared by the Home Eco
nomic department.
Miss Finnegan has made a graph
showing the amount of circulation
during the last years. Since she
has been with the library its cir
culation has jumped from about
four thousand to seven thousand
five hundred per month. This may
seem unbelievable, but it is GER
tainly true. This great increase
could not have been achieved with
out the interest and work shown
by the library staff.
The grades, first through sixth
took their usual trip to the library
last Thursday and Friday. The
idea is to get the school children
used to taking out books every
week, thus building up good habit
beneficial to both school work and
for individual enjoyment. This is
one of the things that has helped
bring up the book circulation tc
such a height.
COMMERCIAL
The economic geography class
has been studying precious miner,
ais and stones. These include gold
silver, platinum and diamonds
They also have learned how very
important gold is in the life OF
men. Some cities have become very
large mainly because gold has beer
found there. A very interesting
example of this is Nome, Alaska
When they read North to the
Orient" by Anne Morrow Lindbergf
they found that Nome had at one
time during the gold rush a large
population, and now only has 1,OO(
inhabitants. Because of the de
crease of population Nome ha.
many vacant and old buildings.

the journal to complete this pro-
cess. This last step, closing the
records, finishes the cycle of book
keeping. Leading up to this last
process they journalized, posted,
made trial balances and business
statements.
Stenography III class received
complimentary copies Of the Gregg
Writer from the Gregg Publishing
Company and they have found the
material therein very interesting.
It contains news in pictures and
words pertaining to stenographers
who have gained much success in
the field Of stenography. There are
drills in shorthand, business let
ters, and jokes to transcribe into
the longhand. Topics such as
Who's Who in Shorthand Speed,
Why I Like My Job, The Filing
Corner, We're OF on Another Race,
and many other articles were very
interesting to practically all OF the
students.
The students who have received
colored dots after their names in
the stenography and II classes
were as follows: Verena Bromen 40,
Bernadine Dirnberger 35, Laura
Hylamen 35, Catherine Lentz 35.
The highest amount of words made
this week was 81 by Otalia Cher

INDUSTRIAL
If you should visit Mr.. Perry's
classes this week you will discover
that they are now buster than ever
attempting to finish up their pro-
ject and Christmas presents before
the holiday vacation.
The eighth grade has started the
woodworking unit in the shop and
their first project is the making
of small shelves. After Christmas
they intend to tackle a second and
more difficult job. That is the con-
structing of footstools.
The drawing course of the ninth
grade has been nearly completed.
At present they are finishing up
their plates and selecting plans for
articles to be made after Christ
mas in their woodworking class.
The boys in the sophomore metal
working class are completing a
number Of nice projects, many of
which will be used as Christmas
gifts. Some of these are artistic
wall plaques of etched copper, kit
chen stools, upholstered benches,
hunting knives, ash trays and
smoking stands.
Interesting projects that the sew
enth grade boys are making are
window plant brackets and unique,
novelty memorandum pads.
