SENIOR HIGH NEWS


The bookkeeping students have
been working on set IL. This set
is the test whether or rot we will
be a good bookkeeper. 1t has to
do with receipts, deposits in the
bank, checks, making journal en-
tries into the special journals
which are the sales journal, the
purchases journal, and the cash
| journal. We feel quite rich when
we have so much money handed
to us to start the business and de
post some cash in the bank. eve
have make believe money! G. A.
Groves is the man who opened
the wholesale radio business and
invested the cash. His name is
used throughout set II as the pro-
prietor.
We are starting to study Hayes
to Harrison's administrations in
American History. Our aims in
the unit are: to understand how
Hayes administration ushered in
a new era, to set forth the efforts
made toward financial reorgani-
cation, to trace industrial, social
and economic progress since the
Civil War and to show the devel-
opment of the West and the end
of the frontier. Each students is
assigned a topic and must give
an oral report. We are also sup
posed to read on other subjects
, besides our topic and be able to
give extra information. The fol-
lowing people received ninety
eight on the Civil War unit: Ar
leue Waller, Glenn Routine, Leona
Uhlenkamp, and Leon Pease.
The German I classes have
continued studing the weak,
strong, and mixed declension of
adjectives. We have been reading
our Fabeln which are fables and
enjoy reading them. Olive Miller
and Gertrude Whittet received
high marks in the German six
weeks test.
| The English w classes have
been studying about Wordsworth
and Coleridge. You will remem-
| Der Coleridge as the poet who
could write while in certain
mood only. For instance if some
one interrupted him while he was
writing, he could not finish his
work We were all a little disap-
pointed in reading "ChristabeP'
We just found out that one
character was supernatural when
Coleridge ended, or rather just
stopped. The last few days this
week we have been reading lib
rary books and most of us need
to. We enjoy coming to class to
sit quietly and we wouldn't mind
if we could do it more often.
The Social Science classes have
been continuing the study OF
Government. We are taking uI
the qualifications and duties OF
officers in the different depart
ments. We're finding that there is
great deal for us to learn about
! our own governmnt, and in order
to do it we are studying the Con-
stitution, which seems to contain
a great deal of material concern
ing the running" of the govern
ment. This should give more
knowledge and help to make Us
; more intelligent.
We are now discussing a very
serious problem in Business Frin-
ciples. 1t is our vocation. Mr.
Tom took a census of what the
students planned to do and ther
. gave us material On the subject
The topic is divided into two lar
ger units; 1. What possible voca-
tons I could GO into and 2. What
education would be necessary
This is a great problem to us
because many of lis don't know
what we want to do yet and will
have to give it more serious
thought.
We are on the unit of Magne-
tism and Static electricity. Mag
netism and static electricity are
very much alike so far as their
laws of attraction and repulsion
are concerned. For example, q
magnetic pole attracts and unlike
pole and repels a like pole; in
a similar manner an electrically
charged body attracts a body hav-
ing an opposite charge and repels
a body having like charge. DOM
ask me why, because it's like a lo1
of Greek to me, but I'll hope to
learn before the unit test, or any
way before spring.

JUNIOR HIGH NEWS
We sigh relief! Report cards are
out. If you could feel the tremor
in our hearts as we take the card
from its brown envelop-and then
to our surprise and wild delight
all in the COS or 80's, and to our
lesser joy the 70's. Anyway it's q
moment of intense suspense. One
thing we especially like is the
idea that the next six weeks we
have the chance for a complete
new start. 1t raises our hopes.
