Sophomore: The biology classes
are studying the human body. They
have just completed the phase of
the digestive system and are now
on the nervous system. The test on
the digestive system was given on
Friday, last. Part Of their work
included making drawing Of the
digestive system and contributing
something for the bulletin board
along this line Of work.
The history classes are making
projects and having daily tests on
their assignments, which are now
almost doubled, in order that they
get finished with their book by the
close of school.
Junior: The juniors in Miss
'Swanson's English classes have to
write three-hundred word inform
al essay on any subject Of their
choosing. Some topics suggested
were: 'tOn Fingernail Polish" or
Being Late For School" A very
popular subject was ION getting
Into the Detension Room" which
is topic about which most every
body could tell good story. On
Friday a five minute oral speech
is due and this can be on book
or any other topic, also Of the stu
dents choosing. It's quite nice of
them to let us choose our topic
when we have to give speeches, at
least you might know what to talk
about. During spare minutes they
read the Readers Digest. One very
interesting article in the new issue,
which they all read, was IT Saw
England"
Senior: Friday we had another
six weeks test. It included the
material on automobiles and auto
mobile fabrication. Motor fuels,
tires, producing and controlling
heat and it's effects were also in
-cluded in this test.
In Senior English we are still
studying literature Of the Victorian

and 1.-THE Hero AS a Man at Let
ters."
