THIS N THAT ABOUT SIR. Hi
When there aren't any basketball
games, there just doesn't seem tc
be any news in school at all. There
aren't the usual huddles in the hal
relating the exciting moments OF
the game Of the previous night
Just the same, there are always the
huddles in the hall, but usually
the conversations have very little
value.
Due to sickness in Morris, their
team was unable to come to Sauk
Centre to play Monday night. Again
Friday we were all disappointed to
learn that the Montevideo players
would not be able to come here on
account of the heavy snow fall
Speaking Of all the snow, the rural
students were fortunate to be TAX
en- home at noon on Friday. The
rest Of us poor souls remained in
school and tried to learn little
about Chemistry. guess we are
just plain dumb"
The girls have been trying their
basketball ability on the new floor
It really is a lot Of fun. The GAA
practiced in the new gym Thurs.
day night.
Miss Swanson has been terribly
busy working to get us students
ready to go to the Speech Festival
at Alex this coming Saturday.
SENIOR HIGH CLASSES
News time Is here again, but
everyone-I mean just about every
one, is so busy with this years an
nual that I can't find anyone to
tell me what they are doing in
their classes. But I found a few
students who weren't really busy
and they told me what they were
doing In their classes.
One of the students told me that
in their Chemistry classes they
are working on the unit on sui
phur. They are having experiments
and she also told me that one OF
the experiments that they have
just finished was, How do the
properties Of sulfuric acid show
you that 1t is the most useful
acid?" Whether they found a solu-
ton for this experiment I don't
know, but we will take for grant
ed that they did.
Miss Ranstad's Modern History
students are studying the chapter
on Monarchs and Monarchies OF
the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. This includes the whole
history Of Europe during the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries
AS I peeked over the shoulders
of some Of the American History
students found that they are
studying the chapter on the Recon.
struction of the South. They seem.
ed to be interested in finding how
the South was reconstructed.
In Social Science class, if re.
member right. we are studying wal
against poverty which explains
what poverty is and also the causes
of poverty. When we are finished
with this chapter we will study
about crime, how to prevent it
and reforming criminals, etc.
Miss Wilson's Senior English
classes have been reading and dis.
cussing the Readers Digest. One
of the most important topics which
they discussed was the article by
Carl Sandburg. This was about
Abe Lincoln. The students read
this magazine every month and
most Of them enjoyed it very much
Miss Swanson's Sophomore Eng
lish classes are continuing theil
study on punctuation in their work
books. They are now learning tc
use commas to set off direct quo
tations.
I tried to find out from the soph
omores what they were studying ir
biology and I looked all over the
assembly during one of my free
periods to find one who was study
ing biology, but I did not succeed
in finding anyone. I discovered
later that the biologists were hav.
ing class during my free period
Later I was lucky enough to fine
out what they were studying by
one of the students. She told me
that they are studying the chapter
on Animals and Plants Of the Past
and Future. This includes the
study of the family tree OF plants
and animals. Also included in this
chapter is the topic on the birtf
of the earth. I glanced through
this chapter and it appears to OK
very interesting. How about 1t:
You biologists. -.
think TN have to take time
here, to ask you students whom
receive my information for this
news not to consider me as a pes'
for interruptng you while you are
so busiIy studying. because l don
