the class lying on the floor when
I walked into Mr.. Clough's conser-
walton class. They explained to
me that they were practicing arti-
fetal respiration in their unit on
health. They really had me guess
ing for awhile!
The seventh grade grammar
classes are reading myths, especial
ly Indian myths, and in connection
with this they are dramatizing
some of them. The eighth grade is
reading "Evangeline" and also pre-
pairing their essays on Zone Ma
ton Indivisible."
I wonder If the '1ove bug" is bit
ing early this year? 1t surely looks
like it over in the Junior High
with all the notes flying right and
left. Anybody like some good Cos
sip? Mr.. Knutson has some first
hand information.
The algebra class is starting long
division. Now don't get me wrong,
they're not going into their second
childhood, it's division Of algebraic
terms. The seventh and eighth
grades are still continuing on in
terest and banking.
Miss Everhart's algebra class has
been doing addition, subtraction,
and division and multiplication Of
fractions. They are going to start
factoring soon in preparation of
'quadratic equations.

jocks CASTLE
BY Katherine Gibson
Jock Howison, Jock for short,
bought a piece of land near the
old castle, not far from Alton
Town, and built his own mill. He
and Sniffer, a terrier from Skye,
very short from end to end, set
tied down to their trade.
But not for long. Into the woods
came Tansy, to cook him a meal,
and by a series Of strange happen
ings other friendly folk settled on
his land and in his house: the Her
NIT, the Smith and his wife, and
twins, Bran and Tinker, and his
wife and eleven little Thinkers. One
day Jock rescued a stranger from
ruffians, and was invited to court
in Chester Town. Here Prince
Henry himself, for it was he, made
him a lord and gave him the old
castle to live in. To the castle,
Jock took his many retainers, and
they all made themselves at home
in the seven towers.
Tansy herself took charge of
sweeping the mice and beetles from
the castle, but it was not until Jock
had a pancake thrown in his face
that she became Lady Howison.
Quaint and charming as old Eng
land is this story of a man and
his dog and his friends. Rather
inc Gibson's delightful storytelling
is enhanced by Vera Books fine
and amusing drawings.
Clubs
G.A.A. A Fem Frolic" Is hop
ed for soon as memories of the
last one still are enjoyed.
Their trip to Alexandria to the
basketball game last week took the
place of their regular weekly bas-
ketball practice. They will have
their regular practice this week
however.
Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts
have made many plans for Boy
Scout Week which will begin to-
morrow, Friday. Mrs. George
Berggreen and Mrs. Schmidt have
been made co-chairmen of the
Mothers and Sons Banquet. A
court-of-honor will be held in con-
nection with this. They have plan
ned special event for each day
of the week. On Monday the boys
will take over the city government
with their own officers installed.
Girl Scouts. The Intermediates
leader, Miss Helen Sathers, has re-
signed as a Girl Scout leader be-
cause she is leaving for Minnea-
polls sometime in February. The
girls are very sorry to hear this,
but they were glad she was with
them as long as possible.
The Valentine Tea which had
been set for February Is has been
postponed until the twenty-second
and has been turned into a Wash
ington's Birthday Tea. It will be
held in the Home &c. room.
Home Economics
In the lives of three members
Of the seventh grade a great thing
has occurred; they have finished
their aprons. Gale belong, Lor-
raine Haider and Shirley Bailey
were the first to have their dream
come true.
The others in the seventh grade
want to finish their aprons too, be-
cause as soon as they do they can
start cooking. The nice thing
about Home Ec.-sometimes-is
they can eat what they cook.
