SENIOR HIGH CLASSES

"Hans in Fortune" and "Snowwhite
and the Dwarfs." Now that we
have read these stories in perfect

them in the past tense. Instead

had an oral test on the chapter
and you can sure tell who didn't
read the assignment. The same
old punishment is still in effect in
the biology classes. If you talk
too much you will have to outline
the chapter. which some people
have to do very often.

rocks are also placed here and
there. On this board will go the
