Grade VI-Miss Jacobson
The sixth grade Physical Ed
ucation class has been working on
tumbling stunts. Many of the
boys have passed all the tests.
Now the boys class is practicing
Volley Ball.
The last half of the year the
physical education classes in the
two sixth grade rooms exchange
gyms. The first half of the year
the boys played on the new gym
floor and the girls used the old
gymnasium. Now the boys will be
using the old gym floor and the
girls will use the new floor.
We painted our first winter

IN THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Our examinations are all fin
ished. After asking why we're TAX
ing the subject, what it's all about,
what good we get from it, whom
the teacher had a grudge against
when the test was made out, ETC.,
we still find other questions to
ask which we should have known
for the exams. But it's too late
to think about them now. So we'll
even quit talking about them.

The Business Principles class
has started studying the Business
Cycle. The four phases in it are
Revival, Prosperity, Decline, and
Depression. The term business
cycle is the family name for the
recurring period of revival, pros
perity, decline, and depression,
which have repeatedly character
lied modern economic society.
The English w Glasses have
started the Age of Classicism and
have found that the writer's left
many savings which we hear to-
day. Maybe after thinking about
these you too, will recall what we
are now trying to learn. Here are
a few of Pope's epigrams which
you no doubt will remember. "a
little learning is a dangerous
thing" Fools rush in where
angels fear to tread" and ITO err
! is human; to forgive, divine"
Some of us wouldn't like to have
anyone else read our diaries, but
we are reading parts of Pepy's and
Evelyn's entries in their diaries
and are enjoying them.
Last Friday a speaker from st.
/ Olaf College at Mortified talked
to the seniors on "Going on to
school" He gave them reasons for
continuing their education. He
said that waiting was a mistake
because that wasn't the way to
find what they are best suited for.
He showed how much preparation
is really needed to make a living
in life. The speaker wasn't giving
sssales talk for his school, but
he wanted to show how important
education is. He made his topic
very interesting by asking the
students questions about their
future.
We are starting the American
Literature in the English III class
