Editorial
There is an activity going on
that perhaps not too many people
know about. That is the hot lunch
system. This is carried on in the
lunch room and is for the benefit
of the country children who can
not go home for dinner. Mrs. Fies-
Ter is the chief cook who makes
all these delicious concoctions. She
reports that between forty and fif-
ty children partake Of these lunch
es daily. OF course when she has
something like cinnamoned apples
or baked beans and the like the
sales shoot up to the sixties and
seventies. The lunches are always
hot and they certainly help to pep
up appetities on chilly, wintry days.
Scalloped potatoes, hot chocolate
and tomatoes spaghetti are among
the many dishes which really go
over with a "bang." want to
take this opportunity to thank Mrs.
Fiesler for making our lunches
more enjoyable through these hot
dishes.
Oh yes, she usually starts about
November first and stops when
Easter vacation starts no matter
what time Easter Is.
This N That About Senior High
The pep fest last Tuesday, Feb.
4, was held in the new gym. Mr..
Harvey and Miss Robertson gave
speeches. The gossip column was
very good even though some people
were put to a test Of "take 1t or
not" but it was all very funny. The
cheer leaders have a couple of new
yells that they will try out soon,
and then teach us.
Wednesday, the seniors were CIV
en- the college aptitude tests. From
reports the tests weren't SO hard,
but for the seniors, It was the three
hour nerve-tearing concentration
that got them down. The same
afternoon they took a theme exam
for the u. Of MINI. That only took
an hour and was much less work.
Everyone Is happy Mr.. Olson is
going to be with us again next year.
We all hope everything works out
all right, too.
There has been operetta practice
almost every evening this week and
no doubt next week, too. The cos
tunes are being sent for, and the
tension that always surrounds a
school production is getting very
noticeable. Miss Krogh soon will
have grey hairs If practice goes as
it did on Friday.
The play that was being prepar-
ed for the speech contest has been
dropped. It will be given later for
the school.
Friday night had grand sur
prise in store for many Of us. Mr..
Toftness was at the game, welcom-
ed by all.
Sophomore
In biology we have just finished
the chapter on seeds, and are per-
forming some experiments on the
bean and corn seed to test them
for the different food stuffs. These
experiments are to be written and
handed in.
On Monday of this week we read
the Weekly News Reviews and an
swered the questions in the geo.
graphy quiz which appears in each
issue. There were some very in
teresting articles on the Lend-Lease
Bill and on our neighbor to the
north, Canada. On Tuesday we be-
gan the first chapter of the new
semester. The name Of this was
"Monarchs and Monarchies."
The typing room looks very pat
riotic this month. The bulletin
board is decorated in red, white
and blue. The aim this month is
accuracy, concentration, effort and
speed. Quite few of the students
have passed their 30 words per
minute test.
In the Geometry class we are
still working on theorems involv-
ing circles. Thursday and Friday
we had Mrs Nathe as a substitute
because Miss Robertson was not
here.
Our sophomore English classes
are still studying work on the mar
rative poems. We have just finish
