about last week. Now they inform

quarters with the west entrance
blocked. How I remember when

Junior High Classes
Mr.. Smith is going to make ar
lists out Of his classes yet. He is
teaching them how to draw paral-
lei lines, squares, rectangles, etc
(come to think Of it guess that's
more along the line Of architecture,
oh well, same difference.)
I don't know If Dicks dog is
yearning for a higher education or
not, but he came to school and
boldly walked into the Algebra
room with the rest of the class.
They tried and tried but they just
couldn't get him out. Finally they
had to call Dick who came and got
him. He calmly took him over to
history class. Believe it or don't,
the dog laid there the rest of the
period and didn't bother them at
all-not even once! I bet the dog
had a better time than the class
because they were studying for a
nice hard test!
Now that we've gotten ourselves
next door, at Mr.. Coughs, I might
as well give you the low down on
what they're studying. The seventh
graders are writing to imaginary
friends in Europe (here's the
chance they've been waiting for, to
let their imagination run wildD
telling them Of the colonization of
America.
Each week a group of people
take care Of the bulletin board.
This week Fred Cooper, Wesley
Fink and Eugene Nugent are talk
ing care of it and doing excep.
tionally well, changing the items
every day. Nice record, eh what?
English classes (9th) have a nice
surprise waiting for them tomor-
row, they're going to have a test
on the short story unit (ah, it's
glad that am that I'm not them)
They also hope to get some original
short stores for the "Schoolmaster"
which will go as "a" work.
I arrived at Mr.. Knutson's thres-
hold feeling clipper as a lark. ]
was ever so polite in asking, "And
how did you enjoy the Freshman
trip to st. Cloud?" But alas and
a lack he didn't enjoy my status
Of mind. He said, "You can quote
me as saying, will remember that
trip throughout my entire lifetime
and maybe even longer!" Suffering
out, "W-W-h-h-y?" He answered
that it was the confeite that proved
too much for him. my goodness !"
I thought, IT guess I better get his
mind of all this, but he went right
on to inform me that John Hardin
insisted, insisted mind you, on hold
ing both Mr.. Knutson's and Mr..
Rasmussen's hand all the way thru
the state reformitory. Poor boy
must have been scared stiff-or-
may be had that protective urge.
I'm sorry to say I didn't see him
anywhere in sight 50 I didn't have
any excuse to remain to find out.
The library banner for this week
went to Miss Swope's second divis-
ion Of the 7th grade. They GER
tainly earned it for they had al
most 100 percent, wasn't that
grand:
Miss Klobe has given out an hon
Or roll for the first six weeks and
here it is: Marceline Dickhause.
