Scr1bbling come sentences, words,
letters and paragraphs. Right now
these shorthand students can read
from 100 to 100 words per minute.
When forms make deep enough i'm
pressions they will start writing.
The bookkeeping class have been
studying bookkeeping from the per-
sonal angle. They have made sin
gle cash records and classified cash
records. They have kept records
with another person finding the
balance due them. They have also
been keeping records pertaining to
a definite project-as a paper
route, All Club, or candy making
project to determine the total sales
and net proceeds of such a project.
The next step will take them to
household projects.

In Consumers Science we are
working on the fundamentals of
machines, discussing their uses and
how the simple machines are made
into complex ones. Along with this
we are also showing the value of
these machines to the kitchen and
home life and how closely related
these machines are. The class has
received a variety of pamphlets on
such subjects as hosiery, cosmetics,
kitchen utensils, rugs, furs and 9TH
er household articles. From these
pamphlets we will learn the basic
fundamentals on how to buy.

Organization Of the three class
es has now been completed with
the election of officers. The SEN
iors have chosen John Whitson for
president, Robert Ziegler for vice
president, and Ruth Westhoff for
secretary. Representing the jun
iors we find John Cotton as presi-

tary-treasurer. Warren Jeffries,

and Franklin Koterba are the

OF three representatives from

been organized. This is an idea
new to this school and we all are
anxious to see just what it will &C
complish.

This is canning time. Strangely
enough, it seems to creep in every
where and anywhere.
Having completed the study of
food preservation, the students put
their knowledge into use. During
the past week the freshmen and
sophomores have been canning
fruits, now they are going to make
jams and jellies. The sophomores
are taking this topic now because
lack of equipment prevented their
taking it last year.
Speaking Of lack Of equipment,
think back long, long time ago.
Most of us can't think that far
back, but it wasn't so long ago that
people had different vegetables and
fruits only during their particular
season. Now we live better with
plenty of variety in our meals be-
cause of canning.
Most canning now days is done
commercially, however, many wom-
en- raise their own vegetables to
can.
Sewing is capturing the interests
of the 7th grade. They are learn
ing to thread machine needles. 9th
er beginning steps are also being
studied.
The most important thing to man
"a bed) is being studied by the 9Th
grade. There has been talk that
some students (being super hum
am can sleep sitting up. That is
beside the point. They've actually
studying the bedroom and suitable
furniture, coupled with arranging
it.

the sophomore class which is filled
