Say! you know what! Liss’un and we’ll tell you somthin, Xmas is one week off. Bet’cha can’t guess what we did here last week; just come up and take a look. Bet you’d think you were at the end of the rainbow, but you wouldn’t find your pot of gold for you’d be just gazing at the beautiful tiedying we’ve done. Oh Min! You couldn’t have had more fun than we had last week. We felt like children playing with mud pies. Oh, say, we were just dying and dying. But we’re not dead yet. We were just simply tie dying, and in the height of our glory we were visited by two Salem high school girls who had come to spend the after noon tie dying with us. For the past week the Senior girls left their gray dresses behind to finish up the fancy work for the Christmas sale. Did we say left behind? Well, that was a mistake, we worked on them out side of the sewing room so they weren’t left behind entirely. Well, we’d better conclude. We’ll tell you the rest next time. Bye, Bye, T he H appy S enior C lass . DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES Ray! Ray! Juniors again— You no doubt will be interested in what we are doing under the supervision of Miss Strout. Part of our time is spent in baking, and part of it in meal planning. We are having some very appetizing meals served by amateur cooks, for example: Anoinette Moss and Agatha Crouch. As Christmas is fast approaching fruit cakes will be under construction this week at the Domestic Science kitchens. In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, we are do ing some Red Cross work in the form of little booklets containing inexpensive and well balanced menus. The sixth grade have planned and served their second meal—with quite an improvement in both cooking and serving. They enjoyed a short talk on table manners last week. T he F riendly J uniors . SENIOR NOTES Six senior boys are trying out for the basketball team. We hope they all makegood. Why is it that the Seniors wear a smile today? Oh yes! It’s because every one got a highgrade in the botany test. The senior boys are just beginning to understand real botany since Mrs. Palmer has been their teacher. Every evening at the library some of the senior boys are seen looking up material for a thousand word theme on what the 68th congress is doing at present. If you don’t know what occurs in Washington, D. C., consult any Senior. The other day the Seniors answered to roll call by giving health quotations. Some of the good ones were, “When washing remember you are the only one who can’t see the back of your neck.” “A regular hour for every meal and not a regular meal for every hour.” “When you’re hungry between meals, eat a glass of water.” JUNIOR NOTES Moses George is out of the hospital. We are proud to report that Pedro Rassmussen, junior, even when seriously ill in the hospital, wore his class cap. How is that for junior class spirit? The junior class has a new attraction, William Mar- kishtum, our class artist, made a new bulletin board. It received many compliments from the teachers. The boys in the machine shop are making rapid progress under their new instructor, Mr. Bewley. George Flack, one of our prominent juniors, is mak ing a pump shaft and is doing it well. The new domestic science quarters are about finished. The carpenters have have done their work well, es pecially “Sheik” Nevers and “Jake” of the junior class. Charles George and Joseph Connor, junior painters, have also done their part. Charles says it couldn’t have been done any better. Robert Fielder, Charles George and Joseph Dumore are trying out for the varsity basketball team. If they succeed they will cripple our class team a little, but we don’t care; as we have more good ones, for instance, “Jake,” Rassmussen, Moses and Donald Roberts. Donald is the smallest one in our class, but OH, MY! Three junior boys are trying out for wrestling; they are William Johnson, Donald Nickerson and Tom Anayah. If they make good we expect to see some good wrestling bouts during Christmas week. Joseph. Connor, the Juniors’ “Jack Dempsey,” is all trimmed up for a bout with any senior. Lookout for “Demp sey,” seniors.
