The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1940-12-12

Of the new year. The trouble is in
experience but there is much abil-
ity and team spirit. Remember the
championship team of 1898? They
also were inexperienced and lost
many seasonal games. Freshmen
and sophomores are in great num-
bers assuring good teams in the
future.
We are hoping for a bigger turn
out of fans than were at the Swan
vile game, so come on you, you,
and you, help swell the number.
Agriculture
Mr.. Schwochert, accompanied by
three part time school students,
Conrad Zehrer, Bernard Otte, and
Charles Swift, one high school
student, Ray Gamradt and broth
er Of another student, Merle Judes,
who is attending the School of
Agriculture In st. Paul, attended
the international Livestock Show
in Chicago last week. They left
Friday, November 20 and returned
Monday, December 3.
1t was very easy for the substi-
tute teacher who took over when
Mr.. Schwochert was gone as he
had student teachers appointed
who knew the advanced assign
ments and lead the class discus
sion. These teachers were: fresh
man-Joseph Zehrer, junior-Fay-
cite Huston, Observation-Disclosures
Gritzmacher.
We plan to finish the beef enter
prize this week and then we will
take up individualized study of our
projects.
Elementary BusybOdies
Mrs. Thielen is now taking the
place of Miss Sanders as kinder
garten teacher. The attendance for
the past week had been rather
small due to many colds. The child
rem have a Christmas tree made of
colored paper on their bulletin
board. Each day they make toys
from colored paper and the best
two are selected to be pasted under
the tree.
The first grade have their room
Sdyly uCCol dOCu lOl Vii ioIliAao wv.
Candles, Christmas trees and Santa
Clauses make up the holiday dress.
They also have a very attractive
Christmas scene in their sandbox.
Animal booklets are being made
in Miss Harris's room. These book
lets will be filled with pictures of
such domestic animals as the dog,
cat, COW, goat, pig and horse. Their
writing is correlated with this
art work as they are writing the
names of these animals under each
picture.
On their Christmas bulletin
board they have some very pretty
pictures of Christmas scenes.
The second grade class is very
busy making Christmas cards. They
too have decorated their room for
Christmas.
We find the third grade studying
the Roman numerals. One method
of learning is the clock system.
During the past week a Thanks
giving story was read to them
which they enjoyed very much.
Maybe I haven't mentioned this
before but Miss Dybdal always
asks the children what they think
could be used for news. Well, one
little boy suggested that we put in
that Jerry O'Gara lost leg of his
turkey which he was making. An
other wanted to put in that they
have recess but somehow the 9TH
ers didn't think 1t was such a good
idea. Seventeen students out of
twenty-nine drink milk and have
all gained in weight. The following
children have not been tardy or
absent yet; Patty Winklet, Betty
Van Havermaet, Richard Holbrook,
Yvonne Cumming, and Joy Gray.
This week the fourth grade took
Readiness Test in arithmetic. The
two pupils who ranked highest
were Sara Lu Pangburn, who re-
ceived ninety-eight out of ninety
nine, and Carolyn Shulze, whose
score was ninety-five. Paints were
used for the first time this year,
which gave the children a chance
to show their artistic ability in
painting. Four of the best paintings
which were really quite beautiful,
were put up in Miss Beck's room.
They are also practicing Christmas
carols out of books which were
secured by Robert Hintzen.
The fourth and fifth grade boys
are enjoying their basketball prac-
tice after school, Imagine them
making baskets, will you? Wow!
But nevertheless they can do it.
There they stand, quick and alert,
for their chance to make basket.
Yes; sure enough they make one.
