HIGH
SCHOOL

Again in Miss Wilson's senior
English we are assigned certain
articles to read in the Readers d.
gest. The articles are read in class
and then we are given short tests
to see how much we can remember
about the article.
How much do you know about
the automobile? The Consumer
Science class thought they knew
quite bit about it, but found out
gradually that there was more to
1t then just being able to drive one.
One must know the different parts
Of the car and their uses. In order
to actually see and know the parts
Of an automobile the class went
down to Otto Brothers Garage and
very carefully examined a 1941
Plymouth.
Junior High Classes
The seventh grade geography
class is getting world letters from
traveller. At the present time he
is in the Yucatan Peninsula. They
have also studied this in their geo
graphy so 1t fits in nicely.
Their science class Is becoming
aware Of the things about us and
their relation to us. Il wonder II
this teaches them tolerance when
the puppy runs away with their
slipper on a nice cold winter morn
ing.)
Mr.. Clough's 9th grade classes
are beginning a unit on health and
safety. They are going to struggle
with some booklets and posters for
extra credit. CAT last I've solved
the mystery Of all that paste on
the desks that makes all the bumps
in your writing. I've always sus-
pected It was some ambitious
youngster from the Orientation
CLASSY
The seventh grade Is studying
the revolutionary war period, and
incidentally struggling with stack
Of dates and names a mile high.
I tried to console the poor things
by telling them how many more
dates there were in Roman His
tory, but don't think they ap-
preciated my efforts. In fact they
just kept right on mumbling away
so 1 decided to withdraw to more
appreciative grounds.
Miss Klobe's class was very ap-
preciative. They told me all about
their posters for book week, which
is from November 10th to 18th.
They took the theme Of Good
Books-Good Friends" The lib
rary will have an art exhibit dur
ing the entire week consisting of
book week projects and the best
art work done so far this year
from the grades and the Junior
High. The Junior High exhibit
will be wall hangings, soap cary
ings, and relief map work. They
wish everybody would come and see
1t, and it certainly would be worth
your while to do so.
Miss Everhart told me they have
a new pupil, Millicent Fennell,
from Benson. She is in the 9th
grade. They also lost a pupil,
Dora Ward, who moved to Grey
Eagle.
In her (Miss Everhart's) algebra
classes they are getting a taste of
Geometry. This includes work with
supplementary angles, making five
pointed stars, and other construc-
ton work.
Mr.. Smith Is all pulled up about
his classes. and he has reason to be
too. Three or four people in the
9Th grade have had perfect aver
ages. A girl in the 9th grade had
all AS except one B during the six
weeks. Cts certainly nice to know
that there really are smart people
in this world even If you can't be
one yourselfD His class also had
some geometry and they didn't like
it bit, I can't say as I blame
them. Some 7th graders who had
been doing failing work picked
right UP this six weeks and started
to do extra work in order to catch
up. I don't know If they're look
ing for Santa Claus early or what,
but they are definitely picking up
and taking notice.
9th grade English classes are
reading the "Oddesey" by Homer.
They're also browsing through
some Greek myths and legends, just
to get in the mood for Oddeseus.
Maps are being made showing his
travels on the way home from Troy
(for man taking short cut
home I'd say he takes the cakeD
They had oral book reports this
month and made out a list of pros
and cons for each speaker to help
them make better one next time
(oh, come now, don't tell me you
thought you were going to get away
with only one oral report. No such
luck, wager you'll talk yourself
hoarse before the years out.)
The sixth period class Of the
9th grade won the Library banner.
Just to hold their honor up they'd
better hand in more posters, etc.,
for book week than the rest. In
