bulletin board Of snow scenes. They
have many pictures to show that
the birthdays Of two great men
come this month. They are Wash
ington and Lincoln. These pictures
are done in black and white as sill
houettes. They have cut designs
out of white paper with a light
blue background.
The second grade has also made
designs and 1t is hard to tell which
did the best, the first or second
grade. They have finished decorat-
ing their room for Valentines Day
A valentine box where they put
their valentines for one another
has been placed in their room. On
the bulletin board there Is a large
valentine which covers the board,
and inside this huge valentine are
a number of smaller ones of diff
ferent types. The second graders
have also made silhouettes Of Lin
coin and Washington.
Miss Klobe's fourth grade art
class is working on pictures relat-
ing to Minnesota history. The best
ones have been chosen to be dis
played in the children's room at
the Library.

making snowflakes and snowmen.
Those third and fourth graders
have really got something. They
have drawn large pictures telling
the history Of the United States.
Such things as Fort Smelling are
being portrayed. Among those who
are making these pictures are:
Daisy Higbie, Betty Lou Hintzen,
Loren Denzer, Jack Couch, Frankly
Paten and Leanella Putnam. The
four best pictures will be displayed
in the library.
Boys or no boys 1t doesn't make
a bit Of difference to Miss Klobe
because they're all learning how to
weave, with the aid of colored
yarn and q piece of cardboard.
Many pretty scarfs are being pro-
duced by these fifth and sixth grad
ers.
The boys and girls in the sew
enth grade are drawing original
designs and are going to put them
on cloth later.
The eighth grades are learning
how to make puppets.

also learned that next week they

class. Here found them studying
about Negotiable Instruments.
Everyone comes to class with a
blank look on their face; not be-
cause they haven't studied their
lesson, but because the lesson was
sorta deep. But after half hours
discussion in class everything be-
comes more clear and really Is in

HEALTH NEWS
After an interesting talk with
Miss Bone about the game with
Alex, I finally got her to state that
there wasn't any news, except in
her skate collection department.
She now has ten pairs of skates
which have been lent to her by
good fellows Of this community.
Many children can now skate that
were barred from skating before
because they didn't have skates.
They surely have a good time with
the skates. Miss Bone is pleased
with the response to her appeal for
skates, but still she could use a
few more pairs. If any of you
have some that aren't used any
more, she and the students would
appreciate it very much if you
would lend them to her.
INDUSTRIAL
Another bench has been set up
in the workshop which will ac-
commodate three more vices.
The tenth grade metal working
class is making booklocks. The
eighth grade class is still working
on their cake boards. The seventh
grade are finishing their memoir
andum pads. This is their second
project.
On Tuesday, January 80, the In
dustrial classes saw a reel on furn-
iture making. Some of Miss Klobe's
art students also saw this film.
HOME ECONOMICS
The home economics department

week. The tenth graders are read
ing materials on frozen desserts
which they will make soon.
The ninth graders are busy on
their quick breads for breakfast.
The seventh graders are still pre-

and shoes used up all her savings
there was nothing left for Pierre's
violin.
Marie was usually stolid, but she
felt sad when she left the sweat shop
Christmas eve. Little Pierre would
be home waiting for Santa Claus
and the violin. Pierre had seen it
in the window at Sam Rubens' pawn
shop only yesterday, big f1ve-dol-
lar price tag tied around its neck.
How sad he would be if this Santa
Claus fellow forgot him!
Marie was swept along in the
Christmas Eve traffic, downhearted.
But despair gave way to triumph,
for a plan suddenly came to her
amid this confusion: She would beg
for aims like her gran'pere had done
back in Paris! These Americans
they seemed happy enough to help
her on Christmas eve!
"Pleez, m'sieur, a penny!" she
cried to the passers-by on Broad
way. "A penny for my leetle Pr
erre's violin!"
Marie had collected seventy-eight
cents before the big Irish policeman
saw her.
''Here now, old gurrul!" he pro-
tested. Don't yez know We can't
panhandle here? Come along now
to tn station!"
A few minutes later old Marie was
pouring out her story to the gruf
desk sergeant. She was confused.
'Thees panhandling," she COM
planned. 'You say I cannot do it.
But only try to get money for the
violin, so your Santa Claus weel
come to my leetle Pierre. See?"-
she held out her money! only
need four dollars and twenty-five
cents more!"
well, now, that's different" the
sergeant replied. Come boys
he addressed the policemen gath
cred around his desk-''let's kick ir
the five dollars to- buy a violin for
Marie's little Pierre! Sure now, and
where's your Christmas spirit?"
A few minutes later a grateful old
Marie was hurrying down the snow
covered side street to Sam Rubens'
pawn shop. But alas! Sam was just
handing the violin to a Well-dressed
old gentleman as Marie stormed in.
"Pleez, m'sieur!" she cried. "You
mus not buy it. The violin, she is
for my petit Pierre. See? 1 have
five dollars!"
The white-crested purchaser was
dumbfounded.
But madame" he answered. Il
have just bought it for my grand
sons Christmas"
''N'importe!" Marie protested, ad-
amant now. "You mus sell it to
me. The policeman, they have civ
en- me the money, see? My leetle
Pierre, he will be so disappointed"
The old man looked at Sam.
Have you another violin?"
For seven dollar I got better
one" Sans eyes lighted up. 1t
looked like another sale.
"All right, madame" the gentle
man spoke to Marie. Here's your
violin. Give me the five dollars"
''Merci, Missouri" Old Marie
cried. my Pierre, he will be so
happy!" With that she dashed out
into the night, happy at last.
Pierre was asleep when she ar
rived home, but he found the violin
on the table next morning. It glis.
tened like new inside the weather.

Mammal" he cried with glee.
Mamma! The violin! But how
where-who gave it to me?"
Old Marie's eyes filed with tears.
Santa Claus brought it, Pierre.
OF course-Santa Claus. Then there
was the policeman and the kind
gran'pere ;"
But Pierre didn't hear the last.
He only knew Santa Claus hadn't
forgotten!

Using the curb will cut down the

ment of conventional design.
At the push of button the curbs
will rise from the ground or drop
flush with the roadway. The 100
foot pavement which will be divided
into 10 lanes, will have the curbs
so arranged in the morning rush
