cided to raise fund for Thanks
giving present for the boys of Boys

BY the way, the Schoolmastel
staff is again racking their brains
for stuff" for the Schoolmaster
The next issue of the SchoolmasteI
will be the Thanksgiving issue and
promises to be a good one too
The students gave many sugges.
tons for the improvement of it and
some of these suggestions are be-
ing made use of.
The physic students have been
working on the unit of mechanics
of liquids. In this unit they should
have learned what the special pro-
perties of liquids are, how liquids
exert and transmit pressure and
how liquids cause buoyancy. They
also will learn how liquid pressure
is used in city water systems, how
the hydraulic press works, and how
specific gravity is measured.
JUNIOR HIGH CLASSES
Miss Schmitz's algebra classes
are learning how to prove congru-
ent triangles, first by using any of
the angles and second by using
any of the sides.
Miss Nestand's ninth grade Eng
lish classes have been giving oral
book reports which are judged by
the student juries. AS you will re-
member these juries are made up
of students of the different Eng
fish classes who have been picked
by their classmates. 1t is their job
to judge each book report by seeing
whether the student spoke clearly,
used good grammar and spoke loud
enough. They are also working on
projects for book week. Many of
the students are making very clever
posters, some of which can be seen
displayed around the Junior High
Some are working on dramatiza-
tons of parts of books. Some are
bringing old books which have
probably been owned by their
grandparents or parents, and after
looking them over we find that
some have been autographed by
the author. These books will be
on display in the class room and
should prove to be very interest
ing. Some of the students are al
so making book maps which show
where the setting of books take
place. Those students who are ar
tistic are showing these settings by
drawing in characters of this book
During their class periods they
are working on grammar drill OF
the past, perfect and future lenses
The eighth grade history class is
learning the correct way to outline
Mr.. Clough's seventh grade his.
tory class has display in the room
showing maps made of the Original
thirteen colonies. Glass members
are also making maps of North
America as it was in the year 1853
His ninth grade conservation
classes are still on their unit Of
health and safety. To make this
unit more interesting the students
are going to make posters on safe
ty and health.
Miss Swope's ninth grade have
begun reading a story entitled
"Sarang Pygmy." They have re
ceived a number of letters from
Central America, and have located
the places they have come from
on their large reference map. II
certainly must be interesting to fol
low the travels of this man, espec
tally when they have a large refer
ence map on which they can mark
his route.
