High School


 A question which came up re- gently during one of our student body meetings was whether or not the seventh and eighth grades should be considered part of the student body and therefore al- lowed to attend high school par ties and other activities. This mat ter was hotly debated and there were good arguments on both sides. Finally, a vote was taken and the majority were against all lowing them in. It looks like the feventh and eighth graders will have to wait their turn for high school activities.
 We are quite pleased with the way in which the Christmas Seal Sale is progressing.
 The student body voted that we would donate ten dollars out of Your treasury besides what is pur- chased by individual students. lst and End Grades
 One thing we all thoroughly en- joy in school is having story books read to us. This week Mrs. Thompson is reading Mable Pynes Little History of the United States" We especially enjoy the pictures of the Pilgrims first Thanksgiving.

 Our room is working on some Thanksgiving scenes in Art Class. We have pilgrims, indians, pio- neer villages, log cabins, and out door scenes. Seven pupils are working on a large panel project with a Thanksgiving motif.
 We received some new geog- raphy and arithmetic books which are very nice. In our reading class, we are studying about Egypt ancient Egypt and modern Egypt. It is interesting to us to know that the ancient Egyptian held cats as sacred and even had images of them on some tombs. One goddess named Bubastis, had a cats head.
 We are studying fractions in

NAMEs-IN-A-NoTEBOOK

As rowing reporter for the USO we don't happen to keep any note book. But if we did keep one, it would have a lot of entries every week listing the names of GIs and GSO members who had been prom inent, in one way or another, in the recent life of the Club.
 And so, during the past week there certainly would have been entries in this non-existent note book concerning some very real persons whose lives mean much to our USO.
 For example, to mention just a few Cit's all we have space for to- day) Betty Nordling and Marilyn Merritt, popular local girls who have been at school and college re- spectively in Minnesota and Oregon, and whose early return home for the summer will mean lot to the UEO and it's servicemen.
 And Signalcorpsman Glenn Gal braith, from Wellpinit, Washington, who has been receiving many con- plifnefts on his fine sketch of the Glory Hole, now on display in the Snap Shoppe window.
 And Pat Fleek who has just left for an indefinite stay in the States and who will be exceedingly missed by her many friends on our staff and among the fellows . and the good job of leadership done by
