the halls, under every door, and

Miss Krogh's German students
are happily busy reading German

THIS N THAT ABOUT JR. HI
The seventh grade had their class
party Saturday night, Feb. 8. They
spent the evening playing Bingo
and various other games, under
the direction of Mr.. Clough. AT
about eleven o'clock a very delic-
ious lunch was served, which ]
know everybody enjoyed.
The event had been planned for
a sleigh ride party but the weather
man didn't bring enough snow! Too
bad, because know how much
fun a sleigh ride is and so does
everybody else. But we have to
take what comes to us, and I think
the pupils enjoyed these games at
the party as much as Mr.. Clough
