Senior High Classes

In biology we are studying In
sects using the grasshopper as ref
erence. We are studying his eco
nomic Importance, his adaptions
his life processes and the meaning
of his life. These facts we study
for all insects, not only the grass
hopper. Looking around the biol
ogy room I saw a dashing bulletin
board concerning adaptations OF
birds, insects, and plants. This,
by the way, is a project Of a couple
of the more ambitious students. ]
also saw a couple of kids very busy
cleaning the aquarium. One pro-
ject has already come in; this one
concerning the adaptations Of diff
ferent plants as to reproduction
protection, food getting, etc.
The economic geography class
has been studying the value Of soil
and geography. They are going to
start a new unit called "Agricul-
ture, the Basal Industry" Sounds
rather interesting.
In Latin we get a few words
each day and we've already learned
quite a vocabulary. We have stud
led the nominative, accusative, and
genetive cases and the effect they
have upon the endings Of these
words. We do great deal of trans
lating which is the most fun. A
new member has been admitted to
our Latin I class. This worthy
student is Loren Potter.
We have started one minute
speed tests in tipping and I don't
like to brag, but some Of us are
pretty good, so Miss Jones says.
About eight students can make
better than twenty words minute.
I have reason to think that this is
excellent; pause for applause
In English some students are dec
Grating the bulletin board for extra
work-they are also doing addi-
tional work on their drills. My!
My! But we have energetic persons
in this class, doncha think.
Juniors
IF you would have been in Miss
Swanson's English room during the
past week you would have seen
diagrams on the blackboard. 1t
seems rather strange to be speak
ing of diagrams in English class
but this is what the Juniors are
doing, diagraming sentences. In
this type of work they pick out
the basal parts Of sentences and put
them in dia gram form
Did you ever write a theme /?
IF you have, you probably know
what it's like. You rack your brain
for something to write and after
you have something on your paper
it sounds rather silly and after
picking it apart again, you have
nothing left. This week the Jun
Tors are writing three hundred
word themes.
Miss Wilson's Junior English
class is learning how to outline
material. While explaining the out
line Miss Wilson puts examples on
the board. These outlines are US
ed as q faster basis for study.
In the German class we are hav-
ing vocabulary tests and these
aren't very easy, so we've been busy
studying. We are learning how to
read about things in das Schulzim-
mer.
We missed Miss Momsen for a
few days during the past week as
she had a very bad cold. During
these days we had Mrs. Nathe. One
day we took a straw vote for presi-
dent and the outcome was close but
Roosevelt was the peoples choice.
In out books we are still studying
the colonial period and expect to
see a test soon.
In geometry we have been work.
ing problems having to do with
geometric figures. We received the
grades on our tests and surprise,
they were all very good. We are
now reviewing geomatric words
and are to have a spelling test on
them.
Seniors
Consumers Science are now
studying mechanics of machines
that use air, mainly those used in
the home. Besides that we are hav-
ing some interesting reports given
by the students on such topics as:
budgeting the home, clothing, cos
metics, furs and gasoline.
Miss Wilson's English class has
now completed the study of drama
