JUNIOR HIGH CLASSES
Miss Swope tells me that in
spring the thoughts Of her seventh
and eighth grade turns to thoughts
Of lyric poetry, but I have my
doubts. Anyway this is what they
are starting to study this week.
They have received another letter
from their faithful travelling report
er who is now flying northward
along the Brazilian coast and visit
ing all the important cities.
In Miss Nestande's classes we
find the safety program being car
ried on in a big way. On Thurs
day they had slides on Safety" and
the students have also given oral
reports on topics pertaining to this
subject. They are also reading
poetry. They have covered the
unit on ballads and some of the
most poetic minds have written
original ballads.
In Mr.. Rasmussen's room I spied
that soilless garden I was telling
you about while ago. Now the
plants are tall and beautifully
green. Among them are two of the
loveliest bean plants, one of which
has a big juicy green bean on it.
I'm surprised it's still there as it
looks good enough to eat. Their
spring work is the study Of plants
and animals as these things are be-
ginning to make their appearance
once again. The eighth grade are
taking up this work in the form of
gardending and are learning all
about it. Now if your mother says,
Johnny, will you help me plant
the garden" you will have no ex-
cuse to offer as to not knowing
how. Also included in this unit
is the study of insects, plant help
ers in the garden and plant dis
eases. The ninth graders are study
ing this work in an outline form.
In this outline we find some of the
common birds and animals and
their construction.
In Mr.. Coughs seventh grade
Social Studies classes reviewing for
the years work has already begun.
In the ninth grade Conservation
classes the unit of wild life has
started and that familiar assign
ment of making a booklet was Civ
en-. This time it is to be a bird
booklet.
