grades are having the World Let
tiers again this year. These letters
are written by someone who trav-
els around the world stopping at
different places and telling what he
sees that would interest the stu
dents. His first letter tells Of his
stop at Laredo, Texas, Mexico City
and Vera Cruze. They are all an
xiously awaiting his next letter so
that they may follow his travels.
Walking into the library I was
surprised to hear so much talking
and whispering, but looking into
the cause I soon discovered it was
the ninth grade who were learning
to use the library. Now that they
have learned to use the library they
will go over every Wednesday and
use their period for writing out
book reports and getting better
acquainted with the library. In
their classes they are finishing the
unit on short stories, and the stu
dents who are interested in doing
extra work are writing original
short stories. They all hope that
theirs will be good enough to be
published in the SCHOOLMASTER
sooner or later.
Mr.. Rasmussen's eighth grade
science class is studying the solar
system. In connection with this
they are studying the consultations
of the solar system and its relations
to us. His ninth grade science
class is taking up the study of air.
/ This includes the study of: compost
ton of air, Importance of air, in
gradients of air, and breathing of
the air. Two days will be spent
on experiment of air. Some of the
students are all ready starting their
yearly projects. These projects are
projects that are required and
must be done sometime before the
end of the year. Some of the stu
dents are making leaf collections.
This year Miss Schmitz has a
new job of teaching ninth grade
algebra. In this class the students
are now working on the construc-
tons of hexigons, pantogons and
octogons. They are also learning
to bisect lines and draw parallel
lines.
Mr.. Clough's seventh grade Soc
ial studies classes are studying the
exploration of the new world. This
deals with the first explorers and
with their discoveries in the new
world.
The eighth grade history class
has been studying the Federal Gov
eminent and the current war situa-
ton. They have showed much in
terest in the current war situation
by bringing maps and clippings
which they discuss. The class has
been divided into committees and
these committees are trying to
keep the bulletin board up to date,
The conservation and orientation
classes have been learning how to
improve their reading and studying
so that they can make the most oil
their time while studying. They
all feel that DR.. Barker's talk will
help them to learn to STUDY much
better.
| Miss Ellis seventh grade science
classes are going to make star
posters and show where some OF
the stars are located. When these
are finished they will form the bor-
der of Miss Ellis science room.
The seventh grade geography
classes are writing diaries which
contain information about coun-
tries which they are studying. They
are writing these diaries as though
they themselves were taking a trip
through these countries.
Miss Ellis ninth grade physical
ed. girls are now learning how to
play field ball. Field ball is much
like the formation in soccer, but
the ball handling is more like that
in basketball.
Due to the fine kicking practice
that the sophomore girls ply. ed.
class is getting, Coach Harvey will
have ample reserve material If his
kickers fail him. Accidentally the
girls are learning how to play speed
ball, which is a combination of Soc
Ger, basketball and football.
JUNIOR HIGH SPORTS
The Junior High team is working
hard to make this season a good
one. They go out to the Fair
Grounds every night learning new
plays and working hard on the old
ones. There are thirty-three boys
out for football and only four who
played last year.
The boys have new gold and mar
DON suits. The suits will be given
to the boys who are out for every
practice. The boys run out to the
Fair Grounds and ride back.
MUSIC
ooh! Gee! Sharps and flat and
the Major and Minor Scales,
land key signatures" groaned an
other student.
From this conversation you get
the general idea of what Miss
Momsen's Rudiments Of Music class
is doing. Rudiments of Music goes
hand in hand with the Orchestra,
and Glee Clubs.
The girls glee clubs, junior and
senior high, under the direction OF
Miss Krogh, are just getting or
ganized. Miss Krogh, a new teach
err by the way, is giving various
exercises to teach the students how
to sing. Would you believe it?
Before Miss Krogh taught them
how, some of the students didn't
know how to breath correctly.
Mr.. Kitzberger, in getting his
music underway, is literally swamp
ed. Many more students are TAX
