more modern; some Of them are
Jim Bludso," "The Dying Ranger .
Judge Lynch" and "Lasca." For
outside work ambitious students
are reading and reporting on extra
narrative poems.
The Latin class has again COM
pleted another one of those units
and 1t is ready to take another pro-
gress test. These are written
pamphlets, similar to workbooks
which came with each book. Each
time these tests get more difficult,
for they include new material.
Juniors
The bookkeepers are beginning
to learn one of the short cuts of
bookkeeping. They will use spec
ial journals for recording all pur-
chases and sales and so eliminate
the longer and more tedious meth
cd Of recording all transactions in
the general journal as heretofore
they have been doing.
Students writing timed tests of
10 minutes in length with no more
than five errors for the week are
as follows: Cecilia Dirnberger 40;
Ruth Gennow, "a; Christine Koter-
ba, 40; Beverly O'Gara, 40; Rosa
Pauly, 81; Priscilla Smith, AZ; Alice
Betow, 43; Lucille Botz, 81. Mer-
cede Clough, 80; Leora Wilcox, 40.
The highest record was made by
Ruth Gennow, and three tied for
having the fewest errors for Ruth
Gennow, Lucille Botz and Alice Be-
tow each wrote with two errors.
The students advancing five points
on the chart were Alice Betow, Geo
lila Dirnberger, Beverly O'Gara,
Priscilla Smith and Leora Wilcox.
The German students are con-
jungating verbs, that is learning
verbs in seven different parts such
as am, you are, he is, we are, you
are, they are. It sounds easy, but
try writing it in German. Fur
thermore, they have to form the
genitive and nominative plurals of
certain nouns.
The juniors are on their third
week of poetry and have two or
three weeks left. Do you remem-
ber the Raven" and "Annabell
Lee" by Edgar Allen Poe? They
read these and others by Poe, Tim
rod and Lanier. Along with this is
the study of the life of each author.
The other English class the stu
dents are studying essays by En-
erson. Friday they handed in their
essays on zone Nation Indivisible. !"
Good luck, everybody!
Seniors
The Consumers class is studying
oxygen, nitrogen and carbon diox-
ide, its properties and uses. We
also started a new chapter on fire,
methods of producing it, and its
necessity.
In Mrs. Harris class we have
started the study of poetry, begin
ming with the 18th century. This
includes some Of the famous and
well known poems of Thomas Gray,
William Blake and Robert Burns.
Sports
After the humilating Glenwood
game, the Main Streeters bounced
back to look quiet impressive
against Willmar, although a regu-
lar, Arneson, was out. With Moon
ey fouled out, the guard situation
was none to good. Rather spas
modic in their scoring, a last quar-
ter drive fell short. Cotton went
on a seven point scoring spree in
the first two minutes, after Will
mar had achieved an eight to moth
ing lead. This was the only point
at which we were ahead.
After licking up Glenwood lost
to Alexandria who just barely de-
feated us. Perhaps the Gleenwood
quintet has reached their peak
while other teams are still i'm
proving.
