THIS N THAT ABOUT SIR. Hi.
Upon coming home from Alex
after spending a full day-Satur-
day-at the Speech Festival, we
were already discussing the help
full criticisms early Monday morn
ing. We were brought to a silence
when an announcement was made
that we were to have lyceum dur
ing the first hour. Mr.. Rashalt,
newspaper man, who has spent
the last ten years in China, gave
us very broadminded viewpoint
Of the conditions in China. He
also showed us a fifteen minute
film on China.
The one-act play, Elmer, which
was given at the Speech Festival,
was also given to the Jr. and Sr.
Hi Thursday afternoon. Practical

ed when they learned there were
no movie scouts" in the audience.

basketball boys are not going to
let Upsala defeat us in the sub
district tournament. After playing
their best in the Montevideo game

queer feeling in the pits Of our
stomachs, which always comes dur

SENIOR HIGH CLASSES
Well, here we are again ready
to bring you the news Of our
school. The most important news
that I can think of is that the end
Of another six weeks is here again
and we all had our six weeks test.
I looked at the calendar the other
day and I find that we have only
two more six weeks left for this
school term and for many Of US the
last six weeks we will have to write
up our news.
And now to get down to real
business.
Miss Swanson's sophomore Eng
lish classes have dropped load of
their shoulders for they have fin
ished the Unit on Grammar, at
least that is what some Of the stu
dents told me. They are now start
ing to read different novels and are
also learning the history Of novels.
The novel which they are reading
now is Silas Mariner by George
Eliot. Here's hoping that it is in
teresting to them.
I was told that Miss Ranstad's
Modern History classes have fin
ished the Unit on Monarch and
Monarchies. They had a test on
it and many Of the students gave
reports on Peter the Great, Fred
erick the Great, Louis XIV, and
Maria Thresia.
In Social Science we have fin

Criminals. In regard to this the
students wrote reports giving their
opinions Of Capital Punishment.
They also brought clippings from
newspapers which were some form
of crimes. For their next Unit
they will study the chapter on the
Care of the Physically and Men
