Junior High Glasses
Miss Ellis classes took their fin
al test on all Of Africa so I have
some grades to give you. Louis
Besser and June Dickinson got
100 percent. Jack Paske, Viola
Little, Anna Marie Studanski and
Gloria Ann Essler received SO per-
cent. Other high scores were re-
ceived by Seretha Potter and Alan
Thornbuoom whose scores were 81
percent. Bernadine Lynch and
Jeanne Mabie got 95 percent.
The science class is starting a
new unit called "How to Use and
Control Fire."
It is really touching to see the
pupils be so kind to Mr.. Knutsen.
Why, they even bring him back a
cup Of water when they get a
drink themselves. He would APP
preciate 1t even more If they'd
bring him lunch! BY the way I
might mention the fact that they
are still taking up the unit of
Business Organization"
In algebra they are taking up
the multiplication and division of
fractions involving factoring. Most
Of them think it is pretty hard but
I'm proud to say a few Of them
have caught on.
The seventh grade history classes
are studying Estate and Local Gov
eminent" and the machinery Of the
state and local governments. The
eighth grade Is concentrating on
the Civil War period and the causes
and effects Of It.
The conservation classes are real
ly getting classy! They have brand
new text books, in fact the first
real text books they've ever had.
Before this they used magazines,
government pamphlets, and period
icals; however, they still get much
information from these. The pup
lis practically keep them under
lock and key but finally got near
enough to see the title "Conser-
walton and Citizenship"
The seventh grade mathmatics
class is having business in the
home. They are learning how to
keep receipts In connection with
their bank account and how to
make and keep budgets. Usually
they are not hard to make, but
they are hard to keep. The eighth
grade has been studying right tri.
angles, squares and square roots
The algebra class has begun to
multiply and factor quadratic equa-
tons, and as Mr.. Smith says, it is
hard to do.

now hangs in the Library, and we
say it's very good, Marcelaine, keep
up the good work.
The ninth grade Is studying the
fundamental principles Of electric
ity and communication and how
these apply to each other. Elk
amples are radio, telephone, tele-
graph and the electric bell. They
will start on power and machines
shortly. They have new refer
ence book, Understanding Radio,
by Watson, Welch and Eby. It has
fifty-eight pages of illustration and
