ma, "a different, yet interesting
phase Of English. Each class IL

ferent students act out the parts.
For extra credit work some mem
bers Of the class are actually CIV
ing play directed by Winnifred
Hansen.
Junior: In geometry class we
took our test on proportion and
similarity. The grades were an
incident which told how hard the
test really was. Out Of seventy
points the highest was a grade of
sixty, made by Ruth LUX. Fifty
four was made by both Cecilia and
Margaret Winter and fifty-three by
Jean Jewell. These grades made
up the "A" list. We are now to
start unit on area which think
will prove quite interesting.
In Mrs. Harris English class we
have started reading poetry by
northern poets. Some of the poems
we have already read and discuss
ed are 1.-THE Indian Burying
Ground" by Philip Freneau, Snow
bound" by Whittier, and others.
Longfellow is the chief poet Of this
week.
The nine students taking German
resumed class Tuesday by review
ing their exercises in the declen-
sion Of adjectives.
Senior: In consumers science we
have just finished the chapter on
controlling heat and its efforts. The
next chapter is on refrigeration and
air conditioning. Last Friday we
took one Of those delightful six
weeks tests.
The Victorian age Is what the
twelfth grade English class is
working on now. So far we have
read Ulysses, written by Alfred
Tennyson, and my Last Duchess"
by Robert Browning.
Junior High Classes
The ninth grade English class has
finished the unit on the play, 1.-THE
Merchant Of Venice" For extra
credit the people have made book
lets which now adorn the bulletin
board. Besides booklets they also
have given two scenes from the
play, the best Of which was the
showing Of Bassanio choosing the
caskets in Portals room.
In Business Methods this week
they are learning the pupils abil-
tiles and are finding activities to
match these. However, Mr.. Knut-
son said the trouble is that the
people have such strange choices
that they can't find any occupa-
tons to At them.
In geography the seventh grade
have taken a test on agriculture
in the United States. People who
received high marks and therefore
worthy of mention were: Donald
Henninsgard, Viola Little, Jack
Paske, Allen Thornbloom, Lois
Besser, June Dickson, Lorraine
Sports
A large bunch Of boys are for
track, getting in trim for the track
meets this year. Many football
players are out to get in shape for
the gridiron games next season. Los

Coach Schwartz has no star to
cinch points as last year. It
appears Sank Centres hopes lie in
place points, that is getting a num-

it Is likely that a good trackman
capable Of taking firsts may be
unearthed..
There has never been much en-
thusiansm about track but another
good season like last years would
do much for the sports in this
school.
