THIS N THAT ABOUT SIR. HI.
It was circus-I mean that pep
fest staged by the faculty before
the Melrose game on Tuesday. Be
sides getting three new yells intro
duced by three cheerleaders, Mr..
Knutson, Mr.. Rasmussen and Mr..
Harvey, highlights in the program
included Miss Robertson's imitation
of Bonnie Baker and Mr.. Clough,
at his Boy Scout tricks again, prop
hesying the score by a "sure"
method.
The second game of the week
found us host to Wadena. Altho
the finals showed them on the
short end Of the score those Main
Streeters" really made Wadena
earn their victory. For the first
time the newly organized tumbling
team gave an exhibition between
the halves.
After several weeks of prepara-
tion, thirty-six students of this
school took part in speech festi-
val held annually at Alexandria
This Is quite new activity but
is becoming more and more popu-
lar very rapidly.
SENIOR HIGH CLASSES
Miss Momsen informed us that
her American history classes have
been talking about and discussing
initiation and deflation. Remember
those notorious greenbacks with
nothing to back them? The stu
dents illustrated initiation and de,
flation by the price of sundaes and
how many you could get for the
same price when currency is either
inflated or deflated.
Miss Swanson's Junior English
classes are enjoying very much
their study of twentieth century
poetry. The sophomores are TAX.
ing up the study of gerunds, in.
finitives, adverbs, and adjectives
A student informs us that Miss
Swanson has also taken up arms
and threatens to give them "cute'
little test every single day. Ody
Fish gave a very good impromptr
speech on the Republican, Thorn
as Dewey.
In Social Science the seniors are
now studying the chapter on Crime
and Criminals. It features mainly
the causes of crime, methods Of
punishment, the jury system, and
court procedure. They have just
completed the chapter on "Wal
Against Poverty" In connection
with that the students all wrote
essays on the subject, Would ]
Give Aims to a Beggar?" They
proved to be very interesting anC
well written.
The Senior English classes are
nearing the completion of acting
plays. The fifth period class gave
Spreading the News" to the sixth
period class, which was enjoyed by
all the students. Miss Wilson's
Junior English class is deeply i'm
mersed in the study of grammar
Mr.. Harvey and Miss Riley have
discontinued giving daily tests fol
which we are exceedingly grateful
The algebra students are study.
ing about radicans and radicals
They can't penetrate the mystery
surrounding them, and certainly
can't.
In physics the students are hard
at IL studying the unit of Magnet
ism and Static Electricity. Here's
a good one. What is the purpose
Of the trailing chain on a gasoline
truck? Don't try to answer it.
Mr.. Schwartz's chemistry stu
dents are studying oxidation and
electrons. Did you know that ar
uncombined element has a valence
of zero? Neither did or plenty
Of others.
The modern history students tel
us they are studying about Peter
the Great, Frederick the Great ant
Queen Maria Theresa. It seems
that these three rulers of Russia
Prussia and Austria respectively
once upon a time ruthlessly divid
ed poor little Poland among them
selves.
In biology the students are busy
studying nitrogen, carbon, sulphur
and phosphorus cycles, which
shows the course of each from be
ginning to end. The students say
that it is very interesting.
