hard to believe that the students
themselves, were not taking this
trip. The diaries have been writ.
ten up very cleverly and we think
that the seventh grade geography
classes should get a lot of credit
for their fine work.
There was a general check-up on
posture in all Of the ply ed classes
this week. On whole Miss Ellis
states, THE Sank Centre girls
carry themselves very well, but
they can stand a little improve
ment."
Well, at last, Miss Swope's eighth
graders are happy for they have
just received another world letter
which comes from Guatemala. In
this letter the man who writes them
tells of the life and activities in
Guatemala.

We've got seven new Remington
Standard Typewriters here in the
typing room and everyone Is an
xious to have their turn at them.
The typing class is having timed
writing now to build up speed and
accuracy. They are marked ac-
cording to the number of lines they
write and the number of errors
they have. Soon they are going
to start studying the numbers on
the typewriter and have a more ex-
tensive study of the tabulator.
HEALTH
The students of the elementary
grades, junior and senior high have
been weighted for the first time
this year. The weights have to be
on the report cards by Wednesday.
The summer vacation days have
agreed with the students by the
gains that were made. Miss Bones
comment is that healthy child
gains weight.
Miss Bone has declared a war on
the flies that invade her office.
Three minutes were given the flies
to get out but no move was made
so Miss Bone is now using destruc-
tive means of getting rid of them.
"The apple for the teacher" fad
has become old to her. So it is
now pumpkin for Miss Bone. Oh
well, Halloween is coming and there
is nothing like starting by making
Jack-O-Lanterns early.

continuing in their drawing pro-
jects. The arrangement end of the
equipment is not yet completed be-
cause the floor in the drawing
room is not finished. Although the
industrial rooms are not entirely
completed, we will try and give
you the general arrangement of
this department. The rooms oc-
cupy the entire East and South
floor of the new addition, except
for the boiler room stairway and
the corridor outside. The main shop
includes a combined metal work
and wood working shop, this ex-
tends across the East end of the
building. Opening from this is a
large lumber and supply room. The
office, finishing room and drawing
room are located on the south side
The drawing room is quite modern
in that it has an indirect lighting
system. All the rooms have ade-
quate lighting space because the
outside wall space is all windows.
ELEMENTARY BUSYBODIES
The kindergarten children are
making Jack OLanterns out of
orange paper using no special pat
tern. This is good opportunity
for them to use their own original
ity. They have also learned a song
about the Jack O'Lantern. Merlyn
Lovik brought a gourd, Jackie Rez-
necheck brought a pumpkin, and
Mary Cass brought milk weed to
school. These are being used to
decorate their room.
The first grade isn't going to
stand back when it comes to Hal
loween decorations and parties.
Miss Harris tells me that the chill
dren are making all the plans for
their party by themselves. They
are going to elect a committee
which is to help them decide what
refreshments to have and what
games to play. They are also going
to wear the costumes which they
make themselves. The main idea
of the party is to impress upon the
minds of the children that party
is more fun than destroying prop
erty on Halloween evening. To top
It all off they are learning some
very pretty Halloween songs. For
getting Halloween for awhile, Miss
Ellis, the new Phyhical Education
teacher, comes over twice a week
to teach the children new games.
Last week she taught them Hickory
