, new and different. The boys have
acted out portions of the Idyls of
King. Miss Swanson said that Ode
Fish and Bob Rattle made beaut-
iful Guineveres. (The kings wife in
the play) They have also started
to read Biographies, you know, of
, course, stories of ones life. For
3B" work they are to read individ-
ual biographies. She keeps the
Juniors busy too, for they are read
ing and immensely enjoying their
unit on humorous poetry.
We asked Chemistry student
what they were studying and she
told us they were all studying for
test. 1 asked her what en- and
she said she didn't care to talk
about it. I guess she really was
studying.
Since this is the last bit of news
we shall be writing in the year 1889
we want to wish each of our read
ers, a VERY MERRY CHRIST
MAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
We sincerely hope that Santa Claus
remembers all of you. So goodbye
until 1910.
TH1SN THAT ABOUT
JUNIOR HI
The Junior High assembly is at
tired in holiday dress for the Yule-
tide. The center of attraction is
the frontboard on which are three
beautiful posters. In the middle
of the blackboard hangs a large
Christmas Seal drawn by Julian
Conkey and Bernard Mischke. On
either side of the seal there are
two pictures of Santa Claus. These
were drawn by Jean Jewell and
Clyde Sykes. Surrounding the
blackboard are evergreen boughs,
gayly hung with icicles. Partly
concealed in them are blue lights
which give light and the windows
are decorated in evergreen wreaths
with reed bows. Surrounding the
room are various snowflake designs
stars and Christmas trees. The
Christmas tree in the front Of the
room is gayly decorated with color
ed lights, colored glass bulbs, icl-
| cles and Christmas snow. Over
the front stage hang icicles and
red and silver streamers with stars
at the tips. The Christmas tree
was decorated by Gerhard Bliese,
Bud Kinsella, Jean Jewell, Bernard
Mischke and Franklin Koterba.
The entire assembly was decorated
by Miss Klobe's 9th grade art class.
These Yuletide decorations give the
Junior High pupils better Christ
mas spirit.
JR. HIGH CLASSES
The students of Miss Nestande's
ninth grade classes are reading
the story 1.-THE Odessey" Some of
the students are making maps of
the voyage Odyssus made, others
are writing paragraphs on the
cuitors of penolop and some are
reading the Palmer Prose Trans
lation" of the Odessy. They have
taken a &C" level test on the back
ground of the Odessy and have
taken another test on the whole
story.
Period two of Miss Nestande's
classes won the library banner this
week.
Last Thursday Mr. Knutson's bus
mess methods classes took test
on Business Organization and levels
of Service in Business. This week
they are going to study series of
pamphlets which are put out by the
National Association of Manu-
facturers." This compares the
American standard OF living with
other living conditions of other
countries.
Well snow or no snow it begins to
look as if Christmas Is coming.
The junior hi assembly has been
decorated by the art classes very
nicely, and yes even the class rooms
are decorated. I asked Miss Swope
what the children were doing in her
classes, and before she said any
thing else she said, They decorated
my room for Christmas" And
confidentially it really looked ele-
CANT and they deserve praise.
Well even if Christmas is coming
you know the old saying, Cali play
and no work makes Jack a dull
boy" so they are also having choral
speech work, which it has been
said is a lot of fun. I asked Miss
Swope what choral speech was and
she said, oh you know'da decd, da
decd, da d." Well until after
Christmas lets all wish for white
Christmas.
Noel, Noel; Music filling the air.
That's what we hope the program
planned for Friday morning will
sound like.
Well, maybe there isn't any snow
yet but the Christmas is there just
the same. The Mixed Chorus Is
going to sing several numbers; all
old Christmas songs known and
loved by everyone. o Come All Ye
Faithful, The First Noel, Today
There is Ring, Carol of the Shep-
