studying a new phase Of work.
They are working on the future
tense Of the active and passive,
however, they are still learning
a new vocabulary and keeping up
on their reading and translation.
The tipping classes are working
on a new project this week. They
are group of articles about some
Of the different animals and insects
and each day we are to make a
perfect copy and evidentually this
is not easy to do, judging from
the effort the students are putting
forth. There are many students
who have raised their records on
both the one and five minute tests.
We have begun taking ten minute
tests; we take one every Tuesday
and Thursday morning. Warren
Jeffries has a score of SO words
per minute with two errors in ten
minute test, and 43 words in a
five minute test. Oliver Rasmus-
sen also has high score in these
tests.
We are still on the study of
plants. We have been taking daily
tests to make the study more in
teresting and educational. Those
who fail to study are given a de-
tention slip which requires them to
stay 40 minutes after school.
Now that we have finished study
ing Divisions and Wars Among
the Christians" we are ready to
start a new unit on Monday. A
semester test was given on Fri
day, and it included all the material
we have had this first semester.
Juniors
The people in the German class
are learning the past tense of
verbs, the past tense of model aux

When they know this they are
going to learn something about
noun declensions. There are three
kinds of declensions-strong, weak
and mixed.
In English the Juniors are con-
tinuing their study of poetry. They

been studying.

ginning to record transactions in
volving the giving and receiving of
