JUNIOR HIGH CLASSES
In Mr.. Knutson's classes found
evidence Of a bit Of carpentering
done by some Of the boys. Mr..
Knutson had received some new
which I shall tell you
about later, and, Of course, he
couldn't just hide 1t away in the
cupboard and not let anybody see
it. These ambitious little boys cook
ed up little scheme which would
permit them to escape from a few
lessons and try their luck at car
pentering, which Is one Of the oc-
equations they're studying anyway.
They secured few boards, a saw,
a hammer and nails, and also some
varnish to make it appear a little
better, and set to work, and guess
what, when they got finished there
were two Of the incest filing cab
inets that you ever laid eyes on.
Not only that, no they didn't stop
at that, but these generous carpen-
tiers made a big display shelf to
show off all that new material. All
this new equipment has found a
place in Mr.. Knutson's room filled
with bright, new booklets. It is
really quite a business like place
with all these projects started.
Now, about the new material: in
the main division there are 120
folders Of Occupational Guidance
booklets. This is then sub-divided
into 1850 other occupations in these
120 folders. Quite a bit Of refer
ence material for one room, eh?
To put it into Mr.. Knutson's words
"They are all set to CO."
In the Algebra classes they are
solving equations by means of
graphs (some fun, Ell kids?) The
three kinds of equations used in
making graphs are contradictory,
identical, and determinate. In the
eighth grade mathematics classes
we find them using measures. This
includes solving problems with the
use Of measures such as that of
travel and cost and the study of
the metric system. In the seventh
grade areas are being studied. In
this unit we find parallel, triangu-
lar, square, and rectangular areas.
Now for Miss Swope's classes,
who are busily engaged in collect
ing pictures for permanent pic
ture file which Is to be used for
further use and reference. One of
the seventh grade divisions won the
library pennant this week. I no
ticed a very interesting article on
the bulletin board. It was a pic
ture Of girl showing the correct
shape of the mouth in pronouncing
certain letters.
Miss Nestande certainly has a
very attractive looking room now
that the unit on 1.-THE Merchant of
Venice" is finished. There are
some very attractive looking book
let's and posters posted along the
wall, and on a small table in one
corner you can see dolls dressed to
represent the characters in the
drama. They have ended the unit
with a test, which is always a sad
ending. The next unit to begin is
that Of poetry, and they are start
ing out with the ballad of the
Ancient Mariner"
LIBRARY
Even the third grade has con-
tributed to the displays at the lib
rary. This week they have made
large crayon pictures of Pinocchio,
Geppeto, Jimmy Cricket, the whale,
etc., which have been framed with
the same frame as the pictures
made recently by the fifth grade.
This is interesting in that Pinoc-
chic has become so popular lately.
Here is book report which will
interest many Of our male readers.
It is named "Gotch, the Story of a
Cowhorse."
In following the adventures of a
little gotch-eared grueyere from
the Mexican side of the Rio Gran
de to the Canadian border and be-
yond, you will see the taste and
feel the life of the cowpuncher in
the Old West as you never have
before. Jay, the young foreman,
and his horse, Gotch, are the main
characters; but you will meet also
the gunman, the tenderfoot, the
trail boss, the old wolfer, and many
other colorful characters Of the
days Of the great Texas trail-herds
when the whole West was COW
country.
Gotch was a one-man horse, and
where Gotch went Jay went also.
On the long trail from Mexico to
Canada they travelled and battled
together; through Indian territory
