I thing is just as vague to us as it is
to you! Elections were held in her
three Senior English Glasses and
these are the lucky { I mean un-
lucky) girls: Bernice Boyer, Doro-
theyHansen, Vivian Walker, Shirley
Rosenwald, Alma Botz, Alberta
Prasch, Margaret Markson, Joyce
Kane, Dorothy Peterson, Rita
Egan, Phyllis Pangburn. Vera Jack
son, Shirley Carpenter, Alberta
Scanlon, Grace Chandler, Rosemary
Morse, Hildegard Schley, and
Evelyn Gardner. The first meeting
is Oct. eighteenth and who will be
chosen to speak then had net yet
been decided at this writing. (Keep
your fingers crossed, girls!!D
Another interesting thing that
Miss Wilson's classes have been
doing is taking Readers Digest
Vocabulary test that was put out
by the Readers Digest Co. 1t show
ed some of us up, so far as cur vo-
cabulary is concerned; therefore
we have been brushing up on that
point.
Mr.. Harvey's Social Science class
es are the (proud??) owners of
new books. They seem to be quite
difficult but as Cne Senior said
"They are nice looking books, any
way. Aren't they?" Well, they are
nice looking (the color is blue) and
we certainly hope that future units
prove less Deep" than the first.
And by the way, the Social stu
dents had a new" teacher. Many
thanks go to Mr.. Donald Rattle,
who took Mr.. Harveys place the
first part of last week, while Mr..
Harvey was ill. But he is o. k. now
and we are again on schedule.
Now, lets see what some of the
other Senor Hi Glasses are doing
If 1 remember right, Miss Swan
son said here Sophomore and Jun
ior English classes were studying
short stories. This short story
study brings back old memories,
(of our Junior and Scph. years..
Looking about the study hall we
see many of the students busily
making charts of the stories they
have read. These charts will aid
them in reviewing and remember
ing the stories they have read. Ana
a very good idea toe, for it is a
lot easier to learn definite facts
from a paper than it is to have a
whole book in front of you. Speak
in from experience, of course!D
From an interview with Miss
Momsen we learn that her history
classes are beginning to study the
war situation. 1t seems to be a very
fit topic to study now, doesn't it?
However she said they shall go
back a good many years and study
the Revolutionary War, you know,
of course, that war 1--WE" fought
for our independence. In order 20
make the class more interesting
and help the students learn" about
these wars, they are having a bull
letin board on which will be placed
pictures and maps brought by the
class itself. The bulletin board is
now ''the proud displayer" of a
map of the northwest territory
which was made by Shirley Rosen-
wald, last year. ca Senior mind
yCu!D We hope these juniors will
get to work and have this board
filled with contributions of their
own. You will, won't you?
One of the Biology students tells
us that she was busy getting
bugs" In fact she didn't have to
tell us, for you see she had us
turned into "bugologists," too. The
assignment was to get 60 bugs or
insects and it really is fun when
you get started, Gf you don't let
it drive you nuts) and a little diff
ferent than the routine assign
ments. Well, so much for the Bug
ologists, hope they all got their
bugs turned in. Wonder what Mr..
Schwartz will do with all those
bugs-make a fine" meal wouldn't
they But, thank you, no, we don't
care fer any.
The black boards of the Geom-
etry room are always adorned with
triangles and so are many papers
of the geom. students. How do we
know, We've been peeping ovel
lnSlT SnCulueTS WHlle tHey We Deen
working. 1t looks as if it might be
fun, if you care for that sort of
thing. Most of the Geom. students
do think its fun, so they tell US.
Well, maybe we have taken up
enough space with cur ramblings
so we had better sign off" until
next time-So Long.
THIS'N THAT ABOUT JUNIOR
HIGH
The junior high halls are soon
to be decked out in new glory.
Three shiny new bulletin boards
will socn appear in each of the long
halls to take care of posters and
announcements. There are two new
one in the junior high assembly.
A great deal of interest is being
shown in the library contest. Each
grade is endeavering to be 100 per
cent in library reading when books
are taken cut on special Book
Days.
