English has progressed so that
we are now studying singular and
plural possession, also the use of
the apostrophe. One Of the nouns
we were supposed to make plural
possessive was man." Well, I
heard loud whisper from the back
of the room, IT know few men
who are still single!" Catch?
We have just started on the sec
ond declension in Latin and it is

interesting.

In our Economic Geography class
we are studying sugar. It might
interest our readers to know that
Cuba Is the largest producer of
cane sugar, at least for our COM
mercial purposes. Every American
person consumes 100 pounds Of sug-
ar a year and the United States
imports the largest amount of sug-
ar. Another sugar we studied is
the production Of maple sugar. This
industry Is carried on extensively
in the northern part Of the New
SIdICS 1Ilu dlSo 4NCw vi n
and southeastern Canada. The pro-
duction Of maple syrup and maple
sugar is chiefly a local industry
and does not enter into world COM
merce. The making Of maple sug-
ar and syrup is very expensive be-
cause a good tree only produces
three pounds and there is so much
work in connection with its manu-
facture.
Juniors
Last week our American History
class finished the Constitution Of
the United States and had a test
We discussed the election Of the
President and how it has changed.
Another topic Of discussion was the
Electoral College and how it func-

side Of government and the other
on the Republican.
In Miss Wilson's Junior English
class we are now reading the new
Readers Digest for November.
These new books prove very in
teresting to us as they contain
some of the best current articles.
We had q test called a skim test,
which turned out rather good just
because Miss Wilson didn't take the
marks. We are now, shall I say,
looking forward to a vocabulary
test on Friday.
In Geometry class we have been
working problems by writing out
the argument and defense for each
one. In this manner we tell just
why we do each step or section of
the problem.
When Miss Swanson asks, "What
is the difference between a non-re-
strictive and a restrictive clause"
we think "Gosh, I wish I knew"
By going to this class for a few
days you will soon know. We are
also studying diction and having
more business interviews.
We have a very encouraging
piece Of news from the German
class; 1t is that the vocabulary
tests, which Miss Krogh gives
every day or every other day, aren't
very hard-if you study very hard
the night before.
