Miss Jones has arranged a clever
new idea for her bulletin board in
the tipping room. The board is
covered with blue paper and is bor-
dered with white cotton to give the
appearance of snow. Across the
top in white letters are these words
WARN Up"-January. On the
board then are three paper Their
mometers representing her three
tipping classes. On the thermomet-
ers are the names Of the people in
the class and their scores. The
higher the temperature rises the
higher their score. I thought 1t
was quite a novel thing. Besides
a bright new decoration It also in
spires interest in the tipping class
es to make higher scores.
In geometry we had a test and
everyone came out rather good.
Miss Robertson has put some new
designs on the bulletin board which
are very interesting.
In Mrs. Harris English II class
we are still reading short stories
getting involved in some lengthy
discussions.
This week the biology classes are
studying all about the plants that
In some way or other help to sup
ply food for all of us. We learned
all about the stem, root and leaves
of the plant and we hope to finish
this chapter by Monday.
In History we have begun a new
study on the Divisions and Wars
Among Christians" It tells about
all the different men who went
against the Catholic faith and have
started new religion-John Wy
cliff and Huss among them.
