your knowledge of these places.
I guess I forgot to mention that
these letters are received by the
seventh grade English classes of
Miss Swope.
Mr.. Knutsen was quite thorough
ly surprised the other noon, when
walking down the hall he felt a
fine spray Of water and supposing
it was from a squirt gun which is
the new fad that the boys have
developed, he went after the cul-
prits. 1t was all quite by mistake
that he was hit for the water was
aimed at another person. The gun
was soon in the possession Of Mr..
Knutsen and Is now resting peace
fully in the drawer of his desk,
along with it's many other friends.
Mr.. Knutsen tells me 1t is just a
new hobby he has started. Insur-
ance. and investment is the new
topic which Is being introduced in
the classes. They are learning the
characteristics Of a good invest
ment and the different types of in
surance. A test was given last
week which closed the budgeting
unit.
Miss Nestande has some very dis
appointing news as she said she
would not have any news for two
weeks, but sometimes they say,
mo news is good news"
The different ways of sending
money is the topic Of discussion
in the seventh grade classes of
Miss Schmitz. In case you are in
terested, money order, registered
mail and travellers checks are
among the best methods. The 9Th
grade are studying state and fed
eral taxes (which, incidentally is
one thing no one is exempt from)
They are also solving problems by
equations. And the ninth grade
are on the project Of long division
Of a polynomial by a polynomial.
Mr.. Rasmussen had no news
either, as they were on the same
unit and no projects have been
handed in.
THIS N THAT ABOUT JR. Hi.
Several members Of the ninth
grade English classes have receiv-
ed interesting letters from foreign
friends in Japan, England, Aust
ralia and Denmark.

lowing letter and several interest

Dear Bernice
I have just received your letter

you.
I am IA years old and I have
blonde hair like you, grey eyes and
I weigh 40 pounds. I am about
5k feet tall.
I attend third Mellem a kind of
the secondary school. I have at
tended school for eight years and
I shall have it in Ia years.
I have a father, a mother and a
sister. My father is a bricklayer
My sister is II years old.

the capital Of Denmark. In Cop
enhagen live about one million peo-
pie.
In the school we have English,
German, Danish, Swedish, geo.
graphy, song, gymnastic, world
story, home economies, a s. o.
I like English, gymnastic, song
and geography very well. We are
in school from eight morning to
two afternoon every day without
Sunday.
I have not read the story OF
Hans Bringer or the Silver
Skates" It isn't so easy to get
hold of English books.
I will send you my photo and
If you have a photograph OF you
I should like to get 1t. In my next
letter I will send you some shots
from Denmark if I can get hold
Of any.
Your letter have been six weeks
on its way to Denmark. I also
correspond with a boy from Eng
land but like better to correspond
with you because you are girl
You must excuse me If I make
too many mistakes, but I have on
ly learned English for 21h years.
Now at last some questions
When do you celebrate your birth
day? How old are your sisters
and brothers? When will you
leave school? Is it big farm you
live on? Have you a bicycle?
have a bicycle as most of the
Danish children have. I celebrate
my birthday the 18th of November
