Now, when comes the season of
the year known as Indian summer,
we find ourselves once more in
school, enjoying the happenings
which occur in this, our Alma Mat
er. These incidents we would like
to pass on to you, for we feel they
would be of interest to you, our
past members, and also you our
friends who like reading the every
day occurrences which take place
here. We will try to do our best
to give you the inside story of our
institution Of learning.

how some of the Juniors got back
in Miss Swanson's classes. AS you
probably know, both Miss Swanson

be not quite so hard on her Junior
class, as she gave them another
weeks vacation by telling them
what they are going to do this year.

science course dealing with science
from a consumers point of view in
stead of a scientific view. This

past week we have studied the mon

showing that knowledge is power.
BY studying the nature of things

studying the machines, showing
their relationship to everyday life
and how closely we are related to it.
