Editorial


the most widely discussed topic of
our nation. It is the beginning of
most conversations and greetings.
Weather Is one thing that affects
all of us, and the present fall
weather certainly does quicken
ones steps and gives sniffles.
From what I hear 1t is ideal foot
ball weather too.
This Is the season though when
all the beautiful green summer fol-
iage seems fading away before our
very eyes. The bright green's have
changed to drab browns and tans
and the land Is being turned black,
furrow by furrow. Trees that were
once filled with singing birds and
quivering leaves in the summer
breezes are now bare and black.
Soon everything will be ready for
the long silent period Of rest, win
ter.

In the tipping classes we are typ
ing for accuracy in five minute
tests this month. IF anyone Is able
to type for five minutes with 100
per cent accuracy, he is entitled to
a turkey for Thanksgiving. The
number in each ring of the target
indicates the best record Of the stu
dents whose arrows have landed
there. Watch in this column for
the people getting turkeys.
In Economic Geography class
this week we are studying the
growing Of citrus and delicious
fruits. In the citrus class we have
oranges, lemons, grapefruit and
lines, while the dicideous fruits
contain apples, pears, plums and
apricots. We have found that ap-
Piles are the most popular fruit.
The most important valley in the
growing Of apples is the Wanotchee
Valley in Washington, although
they are grown in all parts of the
United States.
Peaches were first grown in
China and then imported to the
United States. The United States
now leads in the worlds produc-
tion of peaches. The leading states
for the growing of citrus fruits
and delicious are California, Flor
ida and Texas.

In Miss Wilson's Junior English
class we had six weeks test
which was quite different from 9TH
er tests we've been having. We
are now reading Readers Digest"
and learning new vocabulary words
from them. We are to learn from
twenty to thirty words from each
topic and after reading our ten top
les we will have from 200 to 300
words.
Do you know what a postulate
is? Well the students in the geom-
etry class didn't either, but they're
learning slowly but surely.
Here we are in Deutschland stu
dying harder than ever. We are
now learning how to pronounce
words in phrases such as dining
room, (Eszzimmer) kitchen, (keic-
he) etc.
We're sure Miss Swanson's Jun
Tor English classes will know how
to approach a crabby employer
when seeking a position after all
the interviews they're having. The
class Is divided so one is the en-
ployer and five or six are applicants
for the job. It is all very interest
ing especially If you can just sit
and listen.
The American History class is
studying the Constitution. The
Constitution has been divided into
parts and one part is given to each
member of the class to be interpret
ed. The test on the unit will fol-
low these interpretations.
Senior
Because water Is so essential to
life the Chemistry class is trying

ification, methods Of making var

err.
The Consumers Science class Is
studying the steam engine, its use
and the source Of power in steam.
We are also studying the advan-
tages and disadvantages of a steam
turbine, how it works, and how it
