JUNIOR HIGH CLASSES
And now notes from my little
black book.
Shall we start off with that pop
ular subject and teacher-which Is
none other than Mr.. Rasmussen
and his Science classes. The eighth
graders are studying unit on
Health. The ninth graders are
studying a chapter on Electricity.
They are performing some expert
ment with electrical devices. We
might find a genius among us,
don't you think? This reminds me
Of story I heard. The teacher
asked Johnny the following ques-
ton, John, do you know what
electricity ISL" Johnny thought a
minute and said, I'm sorry teach
er, but I forgot" Remarkable, !"
said the teacher, you are the on
ly man on earth who knows what
electricity is and you forgot" Well,
so much for that.
Miss Nestande's English classes
are still studying Ivanhoe. We
wonder if any of the boys will get
serious and start practicing to be-
come a modern" Ivanhoe.
Mr.. Knutson's Business Methods
classes are discussing the methods
of transportation. Do you think
they will discuss the thumb"
method.
Miss Ellis Science class has been
studying a unit on Fire. Her Geo.
graphy class is finishing the unit
on the Dark Continent. Personal
ly, I wouldn't mind living there if
it were dark, would you? Think
how one could catch up on their
sleep.
Mr.. Cloughs Conservation class
is making some attractive book
let's. His Social Studies class had
| begun a new chapter on Early Oc-
cupations of Minnesota. It's just
as 1 always said. One should study
their own environment before
studying someone else's.
Miss Swope's English classes are
really making progress. Here are
the latest reports on the vocabul
ary test taken from Everyday
Reading" monthly magazine.
The eighth grade range is 3100
640O words. Here is a list of those
who made the highest: Marcelline
Dickhous, Shirley Folkestad, Myror
Johnson, Deloris Kinsella and Har
riet Roberts. The seventh grade
range is 32O0-560O words. Those
who made the highest in that grad,
was: Catherine Chisholm, Barbars
Ellis, Clifford Gardner, Richart
Nelson and Marian Nugent.
This closing time so once agail

In the last week of mad prepara
ton there is bound to be slight.
tense feeling. You see we're tn
human guinea pigs for the teach
ers of this district.
Lorraine Pendroy tried out las
Saturday to be with the group o
students who will be chosen to tou
South America. She had some real
u ly stiff competition. Some teach
ers tried out and some members o
the Minnesota symphony orchestra
With competition she will deserv
her place if she goes with the grou
to South America. The best o
luck, Lorraine.
Mr.. Kitzberger is whipping hi
orchestra into shape. I don't meal
literally of course, but they ar
improving.
