HIGH
SCHOOL


On the borders they have hunting
scenes. black cats, jack-o-lanterns,
and witches. They have been col
lecting leaves of different kinds of
trees. They press and mount them
on colored paper, and then label
them.
The fifth grade have a new pupil
in their room. His name is David
Tull from Window, Minnesota.
They are very glad to have him
with them. They are studying
about Minnesota trees and have a
fine collection of leaves, cones, bark
and nuts from the pines, spruce,
oak, elm, tamarack and birch.
Jacqueline Couch and Betty Lou
Folkestad have made posters on
Minnesota travel for Geography.
Their room looks very festive with
Halloween decorations.
! The third grade students are now
taking reading tests. These tests
help the teacher to find out where
| the most weaknesses are. These
weaknesses are worked on until the
children fully understand them in
relation to preventing them. They
are also taking up choral reading
and enjoying it very much.
The children have done much in
keeping their room in order. They
have started a collection on Indian
articles. They have been bringing
flowers and plants and later on
they are to start to care for the
bulletin board.
They are starting on new work
book and text together, called
Here and Away" and the illus
trations in this book are very help
full in expressing the ideas made.
I couldn't keep this from you: The
third grade have been the library
champs for the last three weeks
and duly wish them luck for a
fourth.
Industrial
The ninth grade have started
their photographic projection: this
is good chance for the boys, for
previous to this, their time had
been spent on geometric construc-
ton.
The eighth grade class is now
getting good start in the element
airy photographic projection. To
quote Mr.. Terry, There are many
fine craftsmen in prospect"
In the seventh grade general
mechanics we find them drawing
patterns for the construction Of a
sheet mental memorandum pad and
they have received their first DEM
onstration for it.
We have little piece of news
from the st. Pauls School, as many
of you probably know, the seventh
and eight grades from this school
are now taking Industrial from Mr..
Perry. They have been taking ele-
mentary work and are preparing
for shop activity in wood work.
Industrial training is becoming
more important every day because
of the fact that so little is taught
in the home today.
Agriculture
Although the agricultural de-
partment is not combining it's eff
forts to the study of any specia
thing this week, we feel that we
are learning great deal.
In addition to class study we
took a very interesting trip to St
Cloud on Tuesday, where the Ma.
, tional Catholic Rural Life Confer
ence was held. We attended a
meeting held in the Cathedral high
school where such farm problems
as soils. crops, and farm finances
were discussed. In here there were
exhibits by the FLA, All and
various schools.
After lunch we drove back to
st. Johns University at College
vile where we observed scientific
farming first hand.
Among the interesting places
here were the dairy herd, the
truck garden, the orchard, and the
vegetable cellar. We were shown
a 274O-lb. Holstein bull, a 30-lb
head of cabbage, various fruits
(Which we were allowed to sam.
ple) and a wealth of vegetables
such as squash, carrots and many
others. st. Johns is nearly sell
supporting as far as farm products
are concerned.
Part Of the class took a trip tc
Elrosa on Wednesday, where the
Belgrade high school sponsored 8
demonstration on the different var.
ieties of hybrid corn.
