Ed Rattle was also present.

have already finished thirty-seven
and, by looking ahead, we find that
altogether we have about forty
seven to solve. Some Of the "B"
and "A" work designs, which are
posted on the bulletin board, are
worth describing think, SO here
it is. An especially attractive one
is a six pointed star which is paint
ed black and white. The more
beautiful the design is colored, and
the more initiative is shown, the
more points we receive for it. AS
you may know we have to work for
20 points per six weeks in order to
receive a B and 10 more in order
to receive an A. With this system
one cannot receive a B or an A
just because you do extra work,
but your daily work and test marks
must also be Of that standard.
Miss Wilson's Junior English
class is reading the December is
sue of the Readers Digest in which
they find many interesting articles.
Oral Interpretation isn't so bad If
you have to do it only once or twice
a year. The Juniors in Miss Swan
sons English class had chance
at 1t last week and came through
pretty well, too. The Juniors can
lay aside their workbooks for a
while as they're going to start lit
erature, which Is intellectually
welcomed by the entire class. They
all think they are going to enjoy
this great deal.
In German class we have been
translating English sentences into
German. It really is quite a bit of
fun and interesting too.
Bookkeeping students have fin
ished section on statements and
are now working on the fifth step
in bookkeeping, closing the ledger.
Six steps are necessary to do this.
In Stenography I there Is a con-
test on to see who can make the
most words per minute with the
least errors. In Tipping III the stu
dents are building up speed and
accuracy by reviewing the key
board; minute tests are very i'm
portant now. The highest test for
one minute was made by Beverly
, OGara with II words. Ruth Gen
now was highest with 80 words in
the 5 minute tests, and Frances
Arvig in the ten minutes with 46
words.

The Business Law class Is feel
ing the effects Of the workbooks
already. They have one or two
exercises each day and, as I've been
told, this system works very well
because every one seems to keep
busy.
Stenography II classes have new
books. They are learning drills
and have sustained speed writing

Junior High Classes

All the art classes have been very
busy decorating the assembly and
they have also finished their finger
paintings. Finger painting is done
by putting thick paint on wet pap
er and making the design with
your fingers. The designs were
everything from tornadoes to still
life pictures. Miss Bone Is one who
is very much relieved now that it's
all over as the whole class always
washed the paint of their hands
in the sink In her Office and she's
still scraping the paint Off the wall
near the sink.
The seventh grade math. class is
working with percents larger than
1000. The eighth grade Is study
ing the different sorts Of assurances
and the ninth grade Is starting neg
alive numbers. Miss Everhart's
algebra class is going to begin the
subtraction Of algebraic terms.
The ninth grade business meth
DDS class Is working on business
arithmetic and are working on
problems Of finding interest and
keeping books.
This week Mrs. Nathe, who Is
substituting for Mr.. Clough, reports
the seventh grade Is studying the
early explorations Of Minnesota and
all about the Indians and their Gus
toms. The conservation class had
a unit on Public Safety. This was
mostly on First Aid and the rights
Of pedestrians and automobile
drivers. The eighth grade Is study
ing the causes and the results of
the war of 1872.
Now for the science classes. Mr..
Rasmussen tells me that the 9Th
grade is studying the changes that
have been taking place on the
earth's surface. The ninth grade
is rather combining the units of
health, home and clothing into one
unit.
This N That About the Senior High
Although the team lost Monday
night to Appleton we were all sat
isfied because the defeat wasn't so
bad. (Something should be done
about Tony always betting on the
other team).
Last Wednesday morning there
was an assembly meeting which in
troduced q new set Of rules to the
student body. The same afternoon
we had two very good programs.
The first was double feature NOV
leone on good driving, the other
on the st. Paul school patrol. The
second program was a very inter-
esting speaker who talked on con-
servation and drew pictures of
what he was talking about while
he was talking.
On Thursday there was another
lyceum and was one Of the best we
have had all year. It was on
flight" Capt. MacDermont told
the history Of flying; explaining
the different types of ships, and
pointed out the fields open to young
people.
Work on the "Schoolmaster" is
in full swing and the bookkeeping
department Is hard at work doing
stencils.
The different rooms are being
decorated for Christmas and there
are some unique arrangements. The
assembly has a tree which was dec
GRATED by the students. In the
commercial department there is an
extremely original effect on the
windows. Glance up there some
time.

Yankees will be lucky TO finish
fifth" that cinched the argument.
For Mack to have made a like

would have been hee- hawed and
jibed from one end OF the Ameri-
can league TO the other but when
he came out with his fiat predic-

man. He did say at the start OF
the 1910 pastiming that the New
