School

second grade pupils are absent be-
cause Of the flu.
Miss Dybdaps third grade stu
dents are becoming more conscious
Of their health rules. Most Of the
class has had clean fingernails this
week. Richard Holbrook has had
perfect attendance since school
has started. Also, Richard Hol-
brook and Yvonne Cumming have
the highest scholastic averages in
the class.
Glasses in Miss Beck's third and
fourth grades are working for stars
each week on new spelling chart.
For the last six weeks these pupils
had perfect attendance: from the
third grade, Nova Iwinski, Virginia
Jeppeson, Donald Rogers and from
the fourth grade, Fredie Billman,
Sharon Elliott, Kalvin Lewobski,
Jerome Loehlien, Rose Nugent and
Ramona Steffes.
The fourth grade have been
studying about Switzerland and are
enjoying hearing the story Of
Heidi" They have been dramatic
ing parts Of the story. Their club
changes officers every month. The
present officers are: President,
Rose Marie Vennewitz; secretary;
Crystal Gardner; and treasurer,
Danny Pangburn.
The fifth grade has been having
an interesting study Of New York
City. They were surprised to learn
that New York City has more Ital-
ians than Rome and more Jews
than Jerusalem. Another feature
Of interest was the three-level traf-
fic on New York, with elevated
trains above; buses and automo-
biles on ground level; and the sub
ways below. It seems amazing that
one can travel any place in New
York City for only a nickel.
Sophomore
The geometry class is now study
ing measurments in regard to
circles. The room is now decorated
with drawings presentd by B and
A students. Anybody find a board
compass? We've lost our equip
ment.
The Sophomore English class
have now completed part of their
study Of short stories. We have
just finished a very different as
signment too, that Of writing a
500 word essay on zone Nation
Indivisible."
Latin I has had a substitute
teacher, Mrs. Nathe. Variety Is the
spice of life you know. We have
completed our seventh unit and
will soon be taking our progress
test on it.
suppore you are wondering as
to what the biology class is doing
this week. We are still on the
study of plants, incidentally it is
getting to be more interesting all
the time. The other day while ex-
aiming some potatoes and onions
to find fibrovascular bundles and
pith, one of the more brilliant
students or maybe I should say
cooks conceived the idea Of trying
to fry the potatoes and onions on
the radiator. I don't believe they
were done at the end of the per-
iod though. Another thing the bio
logy students delight in doing, but
shouldn't do, Is turning on the
water faucets in the different
desks.
Junior
The Juniors in Miss Swanson's
classes have handed their themes
On zone Nation Indivisible" in and
who knows one of them might ac-
cidentally win the big first prize
of five dollars. (cold cash)
They are now starting the study
Of poetry, which doesn't go over
as big as short stories do, unless, of
course, as with humor in it which
is the long suit of most of the boys
now. The "B" work for this six
weeks period is an original poem
or theme every week on a subject
of their own choosing.
The "Deutsch" students are now
reading, Three Strange Donkeys.
I remember when I read that in
the first grade and here they are
reading it again.
They are also completing the
study of separable and inseparable
! verbs.
Senior
The consumers class started the
study of applied chemistry. This in
cludes the nature of material
things, of what elements are COM
posed, what chemical formulas
mean and their use. It gives one a
good idea how much chemistry
really can aid us.
The senior English class Is
reading novels. Book reports will
be given as soon as they have read
their books. We work on some
English grammar books about once
a week.
Mr.. Schwartz is giving the chem
istry class small tests every day
to find out if they know their
valences. They will then go into
equation balancing and writing Of
formulas. This is the most import
ant unit of chemistry because the
