The German students are still

erature. After the lecture? es, a
test.

lens and the eradication of slums.
They had very intriguing assign
ment for last Wednesday, which Is,
name forty desirable and forty un-

ture husband or wife. The stu
dents are still giving reports on
hobbies.
THIS N THAT ABOUT JR. Hi.
The Junior High assembly has
been decorating the assembly with
pictures from all over the world.
These pictures are posted for dis
play in the assembly and will be
placed in a booklet form. They
will be filed for index for later use
to students. The entire Junior
High would appreciate any pictures
donated by you.
Miss Swope has been receiving
letters from a man who travels all
over the world. He tells about all
the places he travels to. The last
letter she received from this man
was when he was in South Amer
lea. These are really very inter-
esting letters and I know every
body enjoys reading them.
JUNIOR HIGH CLASSES
In Miss Swope's seventh grade
classes we find them having oral
reading Of stories Of their own
choice. I'd say they are pretty
lucky picking out their own mater
ial, although some Of the stories
may not have as much literary
value as they might have. A very
interesting letter was received
from San Diego, Chile. One thing
which makes it particularly inter-
esting Is its nearness to the island
where Robinson Crusoe spent his
most adventuresome years. San
Diego has one long fertile plain
which is the only lowland in Chile.
AS many as two earthquakes are
reported by the instruments in
Chile. Just the thought Of earth
quakes makes me quite contented
to stay right where I am.
The ninth grade girls science
classes are still on the unit of cloth.
This is a comparatively long unit
which includes weaves, textures,
materials, etc. Mr.. Rasmussen al
so adopted the idea Of those unpop-
ular daily tests.
The Business Methods classes
are studying everything from Agri-
culture to Mosaic Engineering. It
all proves very interesting study
ing the facts and figures of all the
different occupations.
When Miss Nestande announced
that, This will be all the gram
mar" everyone heaved a sigh Of
relief mingled with sheer joy, but
every smile faded when she added,
"for a little WHILE" They are, how
ever, enjoying a deviation from
grammar, with the study of the
Merchant of Venice"
I just received a last bit of gos-
sip from Miss Swope that I thot
you would be interested in, and
that is, what magazines are most
popular around school. Her eighth
grade classes have voted on the
magazines and have picked the fol-
lowing as their favorites. AS their
favorite pictorial magazine they
chose Life" which is literally eat
en- up as soon as it arrives. Next,
the votes were cast for a maya
zine which had the best writeup of
news in it, and for this position
"Newsweek" was selected. OF
course, in the line of sports maya
zines we find Outdoor Life" head
ing the list, and National Geo
graphic" taking the top place for
travel magazine. Popular Mech
anics" held down the place as a
hobby magazine. All! Now we
come to the fashion for which
'Madamoiselle" was chosen. An all
around general weekly magazine
we find them taking the Saturday
Evening Post" and among othei
general magazines for boys and
girls, Boys Life" and the Amer
lean Girl" went off with top hon
