they would be in it. Miss Swan
son tells us that the play which
the class is giving Is called Foot
Loose" by Charles Quimby Bur-
dette, to be given Nov. "a. The
cast has been selected and they
are rehearsing every night. We
are sorry we cannot tell you who
is in it as there may be some
changes.
The Juniors in Miss Swanson's
classes are reading essays such as
Once There Was a Furnace Boy"
Vermont" 1.-THE Bubble Reputa-
ton" and Brute Neighbors." All
of which are really very interest
ing when you get into them. At
ter the essays have been read, the
students analyze them, giving the
name of the essay, the author, and
a summary. This serves as good
review.
The Sophomores have been read
ing narrative poetry-you know
poetry which tells a story such as
"Idylls of the King" by Tennyson.
We asked one of the girls who
is taking physics what they were
doing and she said they were do
ing experiments on pulleys and
stuff, mostly stuff. She went on
further to say they had just fin
ished a unit on mechanical advant-
ages of machines.
Those chemistry students GER
tainly have short memories or else
they don't know what they are
studying, for you see, they always
pick up their work books to find
out when you ask them. However,
one student said they were study
ing valences and formulas. We be-
ing very dumb asked her what
valence was and she said, with a
very disgusting look on her face,
I don't know-oh, I know but
don't know how to say it.
The algebra students are learning
to find the value of letters by sub
stitution, addition, and subtraction.
Unless you are an algebra student,
this of course is just like Greek
to you.
A very funny incident took place
in Miss Wilson's sixth period class.
Miss Wilson was talking about
Alexander Woollcott, the writer.
She said you have certainly seen
Alexander Woollcott in Shorts"
She of course meant movies.
Mr.. Harvey and Mr.. Schwartz
made a bet with the high school
team which goes something like
this: If we win the Glenwood game,
the two coaches will run around
the race track every day for a
week, that Is if we win by one
touchdown. If the boys win by
two touchdowns the coaches will
run around the race track once
every day and walk home every
day for a week. But, here's the
catch, if we lose the boys will have
to do what the coaches would have
to do if the team won-in other
words, vice versa.
Miss Momsen's American History
classes have started the study of
the Federal Constitution which
they find very interesting. more

Some Of the students in her his

The 7th, 9Th and 9th grades have
begun a picture file. This file
was started last week but unfor-
tunately hardly any pictures have

anything they think would be suit
able. Alverna Wiener.
