ana with these we now nave sep
arate tables for each typewriter
There are now 35 typewriters In
the tipping room and each free per
iod of students sees most of them
being used.
All the students are well pleased
with the new Commercial rooms
The walls are very prettily colored
in very light green. The floors
are of rubberized tile which help
to make the rooms sound proof.
In the Stenography I class, Miss
Hunt timed the students in reading
from shorthand. Those having high.

words; Marcella Scanlon, 200; Mar
garet Jeppson, 100; Frances Arvig
ITO; Leora Wilcox, $50, and Lor-
raine We'll, 40 words. 100 words
minute is considered a good rec
ord.
The Stenography II class are talk

minute.
Seeing that Thanksgiving is just
around the corner, the tipping stu
dents are going to make designs
on the typewriter. We usually
have some very good ones too. They
are studying the tabular and are
working on speed and accuracy.
The Bookkeeping classes are
studying the use of the general and
special cash journals. They have
learned that form, neatness, and
accuracy is very necessary for rec
ording transactions.
Now for that interesting class
Geography classes. What startling
things are learned there. Well did
you know that the favorite drink
of the Spaniards is cocoa? And
that Switzerland produces the best
quality of milk chocolate?
HEALTH
The hot lunches, which are for
all students who take their lunch,
started last Monday, October 30th.
The demand for hot lunches starts
as soon as the weather gets cold
because the children find them
selves with the desire for something
hot with their lunch. These lunch
es consist Of one hot dish every day.
These hot dishes are prepared by
Mrs. Fiesler and are as tasty as
ever. Mrs. Fiesler is popular around
the school, not only because she
prepares the hot dishes but because
she is always so pleasant to the
students.
All the children have been in
good health and have been able to
attend school regularly.
INDUSTRIAL
Mr.. Weis, instructor of the Mel
rose Industrial Department, visited
the new Industrial Department
here on November 1.
The floor in the shop is now
finished and the next few weeks
will be spent in arranging the
equipment.
HOME ECONOMICS
guess we're all beginning to
envy the Home Ec. girls now, see
ing all the new equipment and
rooms they're getting. I shall try
to describe to you just where and
how they are going to work. They
/ have four rooms; study room,
where they do their sewing and
bookwork. Then they have a large
room for cooking. In this room
they are installing three new cleo
trio ranges, and number Of big
new, white working cabinets. A
sink is included on every cabinet
Also another room is their dining
room which is certainly different
from the one they had in the old
Home Ec. room, which has been
transformed into lunch room now
And last but not least is their fit
ting room, which has a three view
mirror where mi-lady may have nc
trouble getting her garment fitted
perfectly.
The seventh grade is cutting
their aprons, most of them are u.s.
ing print material. They are also
making head bands to match.
Eighth graders are at the fitting
of their house coats and dresses,
so they may get to use the fitting
room if it is completed.
The ninth grade as you recall are
making children's dresses. They
