This IN That About Senior High
The past two weeks have found
almost three hundred Of us back in
the little red schoolhouse' ready
to resume our studies (among other
things). Although for the most part
it's the same old gang, minus the
class of 40, there are several new
faces in our midst. Two Of these
are faculty members. They are
Miss Jones of the commercial de-

is teaching in a department which
is also new to our school. That is
agriculture.
During the past week classes
have been organized and the Of
ficers for the new year elected.
Tryouts for the mixed chorus have
been held and the first orchestra
rehearsal was held Monday morn
ing.
Friday night opened a football
season that we all hope will be
good one. The score didn't prove
our team was the better but Meth
er did it prove that for our oppon-
ents. Now we're all waiting anx-
iously for next Friday when We'll
all be on the sidelines watching our
boys show them how the game is
played.
Junior High Classes
This year there is an addition
of three new students to the Jun
ior High, all of them boys. (Ah,
ali, girls).
Mr.. Knutson informs us that, al
though his classes are about Is
percent smaller than it was last
year they seem to be much better
behaved-and smarter 60 Say that
isn't saying much for us! Classes
are starting the same way-study-
ing travelling information, you
know, how to get off at the right
station, etc.
Miss Ellis geography classes are
studying our relations to the rest
of the world and the benefits of
being near South America. A very
interesting subject in connection
with the present day affairs. Her
seventh grade has a nice new text
book, Science Problems" to start
the year. Their first unit is How
Scientists work." Il wouldn't mind
knowing that myself-would you?)
Getting way down to the end of
the hall I find a very attentive
class, Mr.. Clough's seventh grade
history class. Looking over their
shoulders I see they're taking up
the American period Of exploration.
The eighth grade are studying
civics and citizenship. I hope the
citizenship helps them remember to
pick up all that paper in the as
sembly.
Orientation classes are studying
Getting Acquainted With Your
School, which certainly is not a
bad idea.
Now that school has started the
library is getting to be a pretty
popular place. Both Miss Swope's
and Miss Nestande's English class
es have had their regular weekly
trip to the library. In fact, some
Of the students are all ready to give
their first book report.
Mathematics and Algebra classes
have a brand new teaher, Mr.. Card
Smith. The pupils quickly assured
me that he was very nice-never
any long assignments, ETC., but to
get down to what they are actually
doing. The new seventh grade
Math. students are reviewing their
tables and fractions Gum, think I'll
have to look in on this class, !
never could remember my fractions)
Decimals is the main topic for the
