as, nitrogen oxid and nitrogen acid.
OF course IL you want to know
more about nitrogen just ask some
of the chemistry students and
they'll tell you what they know
themselves. Her higher algebra
class has been working with imag-
mary numbers. I don't know how
they do 1t even though they've
been trying to explain 1t to me.
II you want to find out how to do
it I suggest that you take 1t when
you are junior.
The American History classes
have completed the topic on What
Reconstruction Meant to the South.
Each member Of the class had to
make out a test and be able to
answer these questions too. Then
members of the class exchanged
tests and answered those questions
and then marks were taken accord
ing to how many they had right.
The classes have now started the
topic on "Our Nation at Dead Gen.
ter" They have finished Hayes
Administration today, Thursday.
A movie, 1.-THE Covered Wagon"
was given for the benefit of all the
history classesn. After the reels

Of the best movies presented in
school this year.
HOME ECONOMICS
Last Friday marked the end of
the fourth six weeks; therefore the
home economies students have
been having tests. You know tests
your instructor says take PEN
Gil and paper, and suddenly you
feel sick, your heart skips a beat
or stops altogether, and your mind
goes blank. Cor perhaps 1t is al
ways that way.)
Anyway tests were given and the
following people are being honor
ed for the high marks they receiv-
ed. Namely: Darlene Thornbloom,
Shirley Folkstad, Dora Ward, Mar
ion Hill, Mary Ann Dubois, Shirley
johnson, Christine Koterba, Janet
Eldred, Marcella Judes and Lillian
Moore.
IF it were not for the fact that
cooking and food stuffs are part
of the regular home economic
courses, I'd be inclined to believe
this detailed invasion in the realm
of Galleries Tin foot stuffs) a sign
Of spring. Because it is being car
ried on by the sophomore girls,
however, we will just say they are
studying and preparing well bal
anced meals.
Now until your labor of today
becomes the news Of tomorrow,
your Main Street reporter from this
department will be leaving you.
ELEMENTARY BUSYBODIES
The kindergarten children are
learning another new dance. This
time it's Dutch dance. This one
hasn't such complicated steps as
the minuet they learned a few
weeks ago. Many Of the children
already know the steps of this
dance. Some OF the other things
they have studied in connection
with their unit on Holland are:
they have learned several songs,
cut out wooden shoes, made
Dutch scene on their bulletin board
which adds an interesting highlight
to their room, and read stories of
1.-THE Little Tulip Girl" and "The
Dutch Twins"
Miss Harris first graders are
very busy with their chart, "How
Many Books Can You Read" The
names which were added to 1t are
Gerald O'Gara, Charles Hesse, Cliff
ford Little, jeanette Lentz, Jerry
Steege and Jean Steege. They al
so saw the movie, "A Little Dutch
Girl" which convinces %hem that
they will like their present unit
on Holland.
Miss Henkeps pupils are also
studying about Holland. They have
made posters about the Dutch peo-
pie and used them to decorate their
room as all of them were very neat
ly made. A movie about "A Little
Dutch Girl" which they saw proved
that this unit is going to be very
enjoyable one. Next week they
will start. to read the story of the
Dutch Twins.
Miss Holden's sixth graders have
found a new method Of studying.
Their hygiene class is divided into
five groups with a chairman at the
head of each. The assignments
are prepared and discussed by the
members of each group. The pup
lis find it very interesting and are
anxious to try it in their other
classes.
The pupils of Miss Sather have
again had a few movies so as to
aid them in their studies. The one
they greatly enjoyed was entitled
"The Covered Wagon" This film
