In the eighth grade sewing still
holds the way. Hazel Christie has
finished her skirt and Beatrice
Determan her dress. Maybe I
should say that the finishing of
any project Is a major achieve
ment.
You may not know 1t but a Gig
arctic or two will help your pet cat
Of pellagra. It's the NICOTINE acid
that does It.
Women have always been consid-
cred the economical sex and this
proves it. Even when anemic they
retain more iron in their bodies
than men.
All! an invention to end all in
ventions. At last they have in
vented something to fill the ice
cream cone clear to the tip. Will
never cease.
Home &c. is the most fascinating
in the world as you can
see by all those startling facts list
ed above which we learn.
Junior High Classes
I have some information this
week that, bet, will be news to
a lot of people. Imagine my en-
barrassment when the seventh
grade history class asked me what
the name Sank Centre meant! Of
course I didn't know. Just to keep
you from being caught in a SIM
liar way I'll tell you. Sank comes
from the Sacs and foxes and means
beauty, contentment, prosperity or
satisfaction. Hence the literal
of Sank Centre is that it
is center of beauty, satisfaction,
contentment and prosperity. They
found this out when they were
a study Of this community.
Another thing they have been do
ing is making sketches showing
the history of transportation and
in Minnesota.
In the eighth grade social stud
les class they are studying the per-
iod of economic development after
the Civil War; also the formation
of corporations and trusts. The
settling Of the war West, the end
of the fast frontier and westward
migration is included in this.
The study of soil conservation is
just nicely getting started in the
ninth grade. Mr.. Clough is put
ting up the best booklets on for
ests and forest conservation, which
is the unit they have just COM
pleted.
In Miss Swope's seventh and
eighth grade classes they are read
ing lyric poetry. The eighth grade
is reading shorter ones under the
headings Of out-of-doors, rides, an
imals, trees, etc. The seventh
graders are reading humorous
poems and poems by authors such
as Longfellow.
It's always nice to have some
thing good to end up with so I
waited until the end to give you
the names Of these very smart peo-
pie. The following received an A
in the final test on the course in
business methods: Stanley Lebows-
ky, Darleen Thornbloom, Betty
Veeder, Betty Sartell, Lorraine
Steffes and Marilyn Cordell. The
class will spend the next week on
the introduction to occupations.
Library
Marguerite De Angel, writer of
well-known children's stories, illus
trates her own books.
"Thee, Hannah" is one of her
most interesting books.
'Thee, Hannah" thee Sally are
you still talking?"
The little girls held their breath
and made no answer. Every night
before going to sleep they played
a game of making believe they
were fashionable ladies shopping.
1t was always for lowered bon
nets and red satin that rustled that
the little Quaker girls asked the
pretend shopkeeper. But to Han
nah these fine clothes were not on
ly a part of bedtime game! All
the day long, too, in her heart was
the wish that her dull grey dress
was bright colored silk and her
plain heavy scoop bonnet was
beribboned one like Cecily's, the
little girl next door who went to
Old Saint Peters instead of Quak-
err meetings.
What happens to make the Quak-
er bonnet feel light and beautiful
to Misunderstanding to be proud
Of even though it was still the
same heavy scoop-it is a very i'm
portant thing.
This story of Hannah is de-
lightful picture of the happy SIM
pie life of a family Of friends liv-
ing in Philadelphia just before the
Civil War.
Mrs. De Angel, with a story and
pictures of rare charm has created
little girl and a setting
that will win as many friends as
little Henner's Lydia and her
Dutch country.
Other books of hers are as fol-
lows:
'Henner's Lydia"-Lydia is a lit
tie Amish girl who lives on a farm
