LIBRARY
When went into the library this
week, I was attracted by the splen-
did book week display. The many
dolls shown in native dress repre-
senting different countries provided
an interesting display. The dolls
were received from Rotary Clubs
of different countries and a few
were donated by individuals of
Sank Centre. These are the dolls
displayed: Bermudan, Cuban, Kor-
can, Buenas Aires, peasant woman,
Eskimo, Alaskan, Indian, Gaute-
matan, Gauche, South American,
Algerian, Chinese, Japanese, Phil
lipine and Nicaraguan. 1t is very
interesting to note the different
styles of dress in the countries
these dolls came from.
There are also displayed a typi-
cal Dutch and Mexican scene. They
indicate the home life of these pee
pie. From grades two through 9Th
the students contributed to the dis
plays. The Mexican scene and the
yarn dolls were very well done by
Miss Hemming's third and fourth
grade. Miss Boehmke's second and
third grade made the picturesque
Dutch scene. The cloth panel and
Egyptian civilization were contri-
buted by Miss Holden's sixth grade.
Round the world picture book was
very successfully made by Miss
Beck's fourth grade. The panel in
pastels was very nicely made by
Walters fifth grade. Decorative
maps and the book week posters
were made by the eighth grade. Tie
art exhibit was under the direction
of Miss Kobe and was very sue
cessful.
Many interesting books are plac-
ed on the library shelves and there
is some kind of exhibit in all parts
of the library. This should prove
a very interesting book week. Yes,
indeed, the library is a colorful and
scenic place this week.
COMMERCIAL NEWS
Thursday, today, and that means
I'll have to hustle around and get
my news. There's Miss Riley sit
ting at her desk, so while she's
got a spare moment I'll run in
and ask her how her tipping class
is progressing.
Well, to begin with she has made
chart to show progress in speed.
1t begins with Is words and goes
up to 35. These represent the num-
Der of words made by a student.
A colored dot is put on the chart
opposite the name of the student
tipping the certain number of
words. This sounds easy, but there's
one condition, and that is, that
only five or less errors are allowed
on a paper in order to receive a
dot. Ray Berggreen is the first
one to go up on the chart with a
record of Is words with less than
five errors. Everyone is working
hard to make their Is words.
The tipping class has learned
everything that is on the keyboard
of the typewriter, but now for
something that isn't on the key
board. These are the plus, division
and equal signs. They have them
mastered pretty well now.
The other day during free per-
iod, I went to the tipping room,
intending some tipping, but when
I got there had hard
time finding a vacant machine. I
looked around and saw kids from
the tipping I class tipping out de-
signs. After a little inquiry learn
ed that they were making pic
lures for Thanksgiving. (Also ex-
ira credit work) These pictures
are going to be mounted on color
ed paper and used to decorate the
tipping room. One thing noticed
while I was eavesdropping was that
everybody was trying to outdo
everyone else. Every man for him
self, now!
