heavy losses by Russian counter
offensives on the fronts before Mos
COW and Leningrad and stopped at
the gates of Odessa, Russian war
dispatches reported today
The Nazis war-long losses we're put
at close to 100000 men.
This was the situation pictured in
the Russian press along with indi-
cations that Nazi offensive power is
wearing down and Russian resist
ance growing stronger:
Before Moscow-German forces
driven back at one point as far as
30 miles, and one elite SIS infantry
division destroyed by Today Rus
sian counteroffensive.
Before Leningrad-The German
siege ring pushed back three miles,
with heavy losses, under counter
assault directed personally by
Marshal Klementi Voroshilov.
Before Odessa-The Germans stub
bornly resisted by the Red Army in
attempts to break into the Black
Sea port with sailors from the Rus
sian Black Sea feet bolstering the
army by carrying out raids behind
the NaZi lines.
1000, 900 Lost on East Front.
Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, a men,
q Der of the central party and a lead
ing Communist publicist, declared
in Pravda, that the Germans had
lost 100000 men-dead, wounded
and prisoners-since the war began,
including more than 100000 on
the eastern front alone, where the
action is in its 18th week
Yaraslavsky compared this esti-
mate with German losses of D.
100000 on the eastern front in the
last war, emphasizing that Russia S
male population is more than double
Germany's. He said three five
years plans had created new bases
'unreachable for the enemy" and
millions are working to throw these
forceful reserves into the battle"
Twenty-Five Villages Retaken.
On the center of the front, in the
sector intrusted to Marshal Semeon
Tinoshenko, Pravda, the Communist
party organ, said advancing Red
Army troops have retaken "a vii
lagos in 10 days of battle.

Numerous Dances Feature Social
Life at Ypsilanh High School

In the social world at Ypsi High
there have been numerous dances
given, by different organizations
throughout the year II seems all
the dances we're a great success
whether they we're given by the
junior division or senior division.
The first and one OF the most i'm
portant parties OF the year was
the Sophomore Reception. This
party is given annually by the
upper classmen to former ninth
graders. II is a formal reception Of
these students into the tenth grade
and senior division. Held at the
High School gymnasium Oct. IL,
1910, the party was one that will
be remembered for its colorful dec
orations, refreshments, and the
swing band. Woodie Mack and his
orchestra made the dancing enjoy
able.
The second party OF the year was
the Halloween party. This dance
was free and was given TO help
entertain students on that night OF
all nights. Cider and doughnuts
were served without cost to the
students. Roosevelt High as well
as Ypsi High students we're well
coined to the gym to dance and eat.
The first Council party OF the year
for the upper division was held
Nov. Is in the high school gym
nasium. Each year this party Is
held the week before Thanksgiving
and the decorations carry out
the theme accordingly. The music
was furnished by Earl Stevens and
his orchestra on a background OF
an Indian Village. The party be-
gan at nine and the last dance OF
the evening was finished at twelve.
Social events are just as impor-
tant to the junior division as TO the
senior and the Council allows them
three through the year The first OF
these was a dance in the gymnasi-
UNI. This party was for those stu.
dents who paid their class dues.

Pupils Taught
Early Dances

A series OF early American dane
Ing lessons sponsored by the
Greenfield Village Schools were
given every Tuesday in the High
School gymnasium. These dances
were for the benefit OF the high
school students and were held
during the second and fourth per-
iods for the boys and girls in those
respective gym classes and the
third hour was devoted entirely to
the, seniors.
Alex Komosinski. a graduate OF
this school, was the instructor and
his pianist was George w. Bishop.
This is the third year the dances
have been held in this school, the
FIRST being in 1887. In 1889 near
the close OF the years training in
dancing, a party was held in this
gym for the students OF the Ed.
son Institute and our own school,
The dancing class is very much
appreciated class in the view OF
the students OF Ypsilanti High
School.
