Of speech, learning to speak, speech
a two-sided activity, the Importance
of good speech, etc.
Junior High Glasses
Mr.. Smiths algebra classes have
mastered the fundamental types of
equations. Now they're learning to
use these in problems. Cab, the
fruits Of their labors).
Eighth grade science classes
know all there is to know about
the solar system; at least they've
got the general idea, so Mr.. Ras-
mussen is satisfied. The ninth
grade is taking up air pressure,
vacuum, and all those other things.
that are so hard to understand
about the air. They're starting on
sound now.
The assembly is bright with col
ored posters to boost the sale of
athletic tickets. If art has any
influence on people (Which it no
doubt has) the sales will go sky
high! How about it-have you
bought yours yet? To get back to
the posters; I'd like to tell you
about all of them but there isn't
enough room SO I'll just tell you of
a few. One of them is of stick
men, rather ladies, (their cheer
leaders) and they have the cutest
fuzzy wool hair and red hair bows.
Another one is along the circus
line, big tent, flags waving, and
all the rest. It certainly gets you
into the mood.
Miss Everhart's algebra class
have been studying the construc-
ton Of scalene, equatorial, triang-
les. They are now learning how to
form formulas to find the cost of
parcel post packages. Practical in
formation, Ell what? They are also
learning how to express facts in
Algebraic terms.
The ninth grade Business Meth
DDS class is making charts on the
eight methods Of the transportion
Of goods. In each class they have
chosen one member to do the tele-
phoning, you know calling the post
office and railrad station Tor in
formation. Mr.. Knutson informs
me that they plan on continuing
the sight seeing trips to St. Cloud
and Minneapolis this year. No def
mite plans have been made as yet
but they think they are going the
second Wednesday in October.
The seventh grade geography
class have started studying Brazil
and for your information it is the
largest country in South America.
The science classes are orienting
themselves or in common words,
getting themselves used to science.
They are now doing experiments
in the home. Donald Dickson,
Lewis Brendon, Allen Thornbloom
and John Rosenwald have taken
theirs to the class and explained it.
The telegraph was the most pre-
vailing experiment. BY the way
don't go into Miss Ellis room while
she has a class as she will probably
make you give speech on geo.
graphy as she tried to make me.
She didn't succeed though.
The seventh grade history class
has begun a unit on the colonial
ton Of America. The eighth grade
have been discussing the American
ideals. A lot Of interest has been
divided in groups to take care of
the bulletin board. They have also
organized a history club. Clifford
Gardner is the president of the af-
ternoon class and Wayne Rasmus-
sen Of the morning class.
Miss Swope reports that the sew
enth and eighth grades have taken
the Pribble McCory tests. These
tests are taken three times during
the year. A record is kept to see
if you make improvement. The
first world letter has arrived. This
year the reporter has started at
Dresmond Holdridge. These let
tiers are mostly about international
affairs. The reporter is travelling
in Central and South America on
the new anyways which are being
established.
Elementary Busybodies
The kindergarten children are
bringing aprons to wear while they
are painting and working with
clay. They are making a vegetable
chart and also scrapbooks. They
have learned new song and use
tambourines in connection with it.
They were told that in Spain tam
bourines are used while dancing.
On Friday they go to the library
