Our English room has the Christ
mas spirit already. On the bulletin
board are two artistic drawings
pertaining to Christmas. One Is a
drawing Of a country mail box COW
cred with snow and filled with
Christmas gifts. The other is a
couple verses of Silent Night"
written in an artistic style on
scroll. This work was done by
Marcella Schley tor her "B" and
"A" work for this week. The rest
of the class, however, are progress
ing in the English workbooks. Last
week we were studying clauses and
Miss Swanson, pointing to a sem
tence, asked one fellow what kind
of clause it was. He replied that
he didn't know and just then there
came a loud whisper from the
front Of the room, Santa Clause
true Christmas spirit, eh what?
You recall perhaps that the typ
ing students started working on a
turkey-shoot contest some time
ago. Well, the arrows have been
aimed very well by tipping accur-
ately in five minute tests. Two of
the students-Marian Casey and
Donna Price-won the contest with
ten perfect scores each. Now our
thoughts are turning to Christmas.
We have red bulletin board with
three green Christmas trees on it.
Each student has a candle on the
/ tree for his section and the posi-
ton of the candle on the tree indi-
Gates the tipping speed. Anyone
who types at rate Of forty words
per minute will have his name
printed on the gold star at the top.
The people with the highest five
minute record so far which is thir-
ty-five words per minute are War
rem Jeffries and Oliver Rasmussen.
Junior
The German students are begin
ming this six weeks period by ser
iously endeavoring to learn the gen.
tive case.
The Junior English classes al
most tainted the other day when
Miss Swanson announced they
were to write 1000 word research
theme. They thought it just
couldn't be done, but after they
had started it they found it rather
fun and that it could be done. To
add to their work they are learning
gerunds, participals and infinitives.
The bookkeeping classes are
working on the fourth step in the
bookkeeping cycle-namely, bust
ness statements, profit and loss
statements and balance sheets.
They are becoming acquainted not
only with the accounts necessary
in the making Of these reports, but
the form used by most business
places, and are able to see the re-
lationship existing between the two
and how valuable they are to the
proprietor for interpreting the re-
suits Of his efforts.
The stenography I class has be-
gun to struggle along in writing
these curves, lines and circles
known as shorthand. or course
the object Of this is to read their
own writing, but when I look at
one Of those papers can't tell top
from bottom. Students from the
Stenography and II classes have
been blocking for the "Schoolmas-
ter" so there should be an improve
ment in the stencil angle.
In studying the history Of the
United States, the American His
tory classes have found that our
country has made mistakes in the
past and hopes to avoid such mis-
takes in the present and future. In
Jefferson's attempt to save us a lit
tie money he reduced our army
and navy from 1901 to 1909 much
to our distress in the war of 1872.
Do you know that if we had had
the Atlantic cable in 1872 we would
never have fought that war? And
the bloodiest battle in that war was
fought after the treaty ending the
war. The war was fought partly
because they lacked modern COM
munication by which it would have
been avoided. We certainly wish
all wars could be avoided that cas-
lily.
