Trash literature got it "in the
neck" when Bernard Mischke, Har-
old Korf and Frank Koterba put
a colored chalk poster on Miss Mes
tande's blackboard. 1t is a very
vivid picture of an airplane flying
over Trash Village. The plane, pill
oted by Junior Literary Guild, is
dropping books of good literature
representing bombs. Books such
as Border Legion" by Zane Grey,
Tom Swift Series and Tarzan of
the Apes make up the houses of
Trash Village. It looks as though
Tom Sawyer, Jim Davis and few
more good books will get the best
of Trash Village.
THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving is day set aside
for giving thanks. The first
Thanksgiving was celebrated by the
pilgrims in the year 1921.
This year some parts of the corn-
! try will celebrate this holiday on
November 23rd, others on the tradi-
tional November Both. Every good
citizen after reading about war
crazed Europe will make every day
a thanksgiving day.
Do you appreciate and stand be-
hind this peace-loving democracy Of
ours?
BOOK WEEK
Book week seemed to change
Miss Nestande's English room last
week. Posters were hanging all ov-
er the room, old books were being
put on display, letters were written
to friends recommending books
and everything available was being
done to make book week impress
sive.
The book display was very inter
esting. An old Bohemian Bible
written in the year of 1868, showed
us an unusual binding and the
old print.
A McGuffy's fifth grade reader
made us realize that our modern
text books are as interesting and
attractive as possible. This read
er had selections from old classics
old essays on virtue and the whole
content is written in very stilted
and difficult English.
A newspaper printed on the back
of a piece of wall paper and dated
Vickesburg, 1868, was a worthy
contribution. One paragraph was
on the brilliant and victorious Gen.
| eral Lee. 1t amused most Of us
to read that the Northerners were
| referred to as rebels"
The ninth grade period English
class are the library champions this
week. Good for you kids! Con.
gratulations!
JUNIOR Hi CLASSES
Running into Miss Swope's room
I was greatly surprised by a large
map on the front boardfl This map
has a slogan above it which is,
Books around the world" On this
map on the front board. This map
ious settings of books. The sew
enth and eighth grade classes are
giving oral reports on books which
they have read during Book Week.
Around the assembly and English
rooms are very interesting displays
of posters for National Book Week.
Miss Schmidt's seventh grade
math classes are now on the unit of
discount. Under this comes, mean
ing of discount and saving through
discount. This also includes frac-
tions and per cents.
The eighth grade math classes
are now busy finding interest on
loans. They are also studying bank
discounts and promissary notes.
The ninth grade anlgebra classes
are annalyzing geometric figures
used in bridges. They are also
studying fractional equations.
MUSIC
A far reaching music program
is being put into effect. Mr.. Kitz-
berger has always wanted pro-
gram that would prepare children
while they were still in the grades
Anyone knows that this would
greatly improve the general condi-
ton Of the orchestra, band, and
glee club. It takes time to prac-
tice and acquire the simple basic
things in music and training in the
grades would be a great help to-
wards developing musicians.
Another thing is that children
that have a chance to sing will
know whether they will be interest
ed enough in music to take it up in
high school.
This year Miss Krogh is tearh-
ing singing in the 7th, 9th and 9th
grade. Although in the other years
singing has been taught in the 9th.
Miss Sather has started chorus
in the 5th and 9th this year.
An orchestra highlight-Mr. Kitz-
berger has become very high anG
mighty lately. AS a matter of fac:
he is getting so he looks down on
US. To tell the truth he now has
