declension of the demonstrative
pronoun this. They will take their
fifth vocabulary and progress test.
They are studying about the Rom

we are indebted to them for such
as: Practical Arts under which
comes Road building and other en-
gineering achievements. Their con-

JUNIOR HIGH
In connection with book week
the seventh and eighth grades are
working on an original play. I am
sure everyone is anxious to know
what the play is about so I'll con-
tinue. Each pupil is to contribute
his idea Of his best liked character
in fiction. Sounds very interest
ing. Pantomimes were given by all
members at the Junior American
Club meeting. David Ziegler gave
taking care of baby and used a
little music with his motions so 1t
was very easily guessed. James
Johnson will be chairman Of the
program next week.
Have you ever wondered how the
Indians lived before the white man
came to America? The seventh
grade Social Studies class are start
ing their new unit "How the White
Man Met and Dealt with the Red
Man" They will go back hundreds
of years when the white man first
came, until the present day. Sounds
fascinating to me. The section for
the week Is "The Read Man in His
Native Land"
The ninth grade class went for
a jaunt to st. Cloud last Wednes-
dav. They visited the State Peni-
tentiary, Cold Spring Granite Co.,
Airport, Filtration plant, Fire Hall
and the Court House. The students
enjoyed themselves very much, but
1 am told, the two outstanding were
the Reformatory and the Granite
Co. This educational tour helped
to bring their textbooks to life,
and connect some of the units they
have studied with the more practi-
cal aspects.
