had not been held.
II you were to look on the read
ing table In the junior high 20,
would find some new books. Amons
these books is a new set of encylo
pedias, called 1.-THE World Book.
These new books are very gooG
looking (blue) and are just chuckeG
full Of ready reference material. II
should be the duty of every junior
high student to use these books
and use them carefully. They
should remember that they are
there for everyone to use and
should be careful not to make them
messy with finger marks, torn pag.
es and above all pencil marks.
You would also find three new
books entitled, Living With 9th.
ers" by Goodrich. The title is very
fitting for as it suggests, it tells
the courteous thing to do at the
right time, etc. I am sure that
every person who reads those books
would finish with better under
standing and knowledge Of behav-
Tor and etiquette. The books are
well written in every day language
which is easy for everyone to un-
derstand.
! The 7th grade class is increasing.
Three new pupils enrolled in this
class, Sidney Butler and Mabel Van
Havermaet, both of Sank Centre,
and Wanda Klemm, from Vantura,
California.
The junior high also has a new
point system. This system is taken
care Of by two ninth grade girls,
none other than Patty Hanson and
Margaret Whitson. The first part
of the system contains a set of ten
health rules to be applied to a
health chart. Each rule obeyed for
one week gives the students one
point toward letter. These rules
are ten which are very simple and
should be obeyed by everyone.
The second part of the plan con-
sists of sports. A person may earn
20 points in any of the following
sports: Il point for each hour of
participation: Kittenball, basket
ball, volleyball, badminton, ping
pong, deck tennis, roller and ice
skating, swimming, boating, golf,
tennis, bicycling, coasting and can
oeing. For hiking so points may be
earned, 1 point for each 2 miles.
For class work, points are re-
ceived according to the grade earn
ed. An A would give 80 points;
B, 20 points; and c, 10 points.
Anyone who attends after school
practice receives 10 points for each
practice.
What are the awards for all of
this? Well, when 300 points are
earned the student will receive a
Junior High emblem. For each 300
points earned after the first 300,
Chevron will be received, thus a
girl in the 7th grade can earn an
emblem and in the 9Th and 9th
grade her Chevron.
To me "a senior high student)
this sounds like a very good plan.
1t gives every person a good OPP
portunity to earn a letter in the
junior high and have a lot of fun
doing it.
JUNIOR HIGH SPORTS
The junior high football team
played between the halves of the
Osakis game. Because the teams
were so evenly matchd the game
ended in scoreless tie. Although
there were no intensely exciting
moments there was a great deal of
improvement in blocking due to
weeks of hard practice.
The boys are looking forward to
their first complete game under the
lights.
JUNIOR HIGH CLASSES
AS we wandered into Miss Ellis
room we saw the effects of the
star osters which they had been
so busily making for the last two
weeks. On these osters they have
shown very cleverly, where some of
the stars are located in the Solar
System. The science classes are
also making booklets, pertaining to
the study Of water.
The diaries that the seventh
grade geography classes have writ
ten have been handed in. Reading
portions Of these diaries it is very
