CAddress all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager 50 Cts per Annum Subscription RGANIZATIONS & DEPARTMENTS Contributed from Various Sources ' SEVENTH GRADE ITEMS In our English class we are now taking up “plural possessives.” We had Clara Bremner on the honor roll. was keen for Clara. That Section 7-III of the home economics class, under Mrs. Melovidoff, is planning a luncheon for the class this week. Neomi Mesplie was chosen to be captain for the sev enth grade girls’ baseball team. We all think she will do well in coaching the team, so beware when we play. In our history this week we have been studying about the beginning of government in the “new world.” It seems to have changed quite a lot since 1787. The seventh grade girls are taking Mr. Ryan’s ad vice and are studying their lessons harder than before, for they wish to pass in all their subjects. Here’s hoping they succeed. Sometime ago the Seven B-II class was wishing that it had a new pencil sharpener. Well, it isn’t taking the place of the old one yet. Don’t we wish that the principal would catch the hint, though? Ona sunny morning some Fridays ago, some of the girls suggested to our teacher, Miss Lundquist, that we take a walk, so take a walk we did. We enjoyed it very much and wouldn’t mind another walk. One of our classmates, Clara Bozeroff, just started to take piano lessons from Miss Estep. She can never think of the key of G. Miss Estep says, “Every cow eats grass,” and Clara says, “Every cow eats G.” The seventh grade has progressed greatly in the book of Minimum Essentials in Manners. We have talked on School Loyalty, Etiquette, Corridors and Defacing Furniture. The last one was a very good talk and should be paid attention, as our school furn iture indicates. JUNIOR CLASS ITEMS It won’t be long now until the final examinations are over. Then we shall be the ‘ ‘snappy seniors of’33.” Our treasurer, Alice Ladderoute, is now collecting fifty cents from each girl for the Junior Prom on April 30. We intend to make this Prom go over with a bang! So come on, juniors, and pay in your fees! Watch your steps folks! We are going to grab all the points in the girls’ track meet! Alice Ladderoute, our baseball captain, has taken on a big task in get ting her track team in shape. No more dainty food stuffs! What punishment! Junior class, divided into four groups, have been visiting the Salem Clinic to see the working of theX- ray. The machine was very ably explained by Miss Perry, the operator in charge. The demonstrations were given of fluoroscopy, various pupils being used to show their own bones and organs. In this way the students saw all the bones of the human body, the beating heart, the diaphragm’s motions in breathing, and how bones look after being fractured and healed. Our appreciation is due Miss Perry who so generously gave these demonstrations without cost to the school. All enjoyed the exibits. MACHINE SHOP NOTES We have found an old case in the drafting room that can easily be rejuvenated into a very acceptable exibition case. Some of the best articles made by the boys this year will be placed here and will remain on display. However, wt cannot call it a definite mea sure of the machine shop boys’ skill, as a great amount of their work this year has been repair work on insti tutional machinery. The boys in the machine shop begin to inquire be fore they start a project if they will be able to com plete it before the close of school. This reminder with a few hours of sunshine once in a while makes us be gin to think of the close of school. PAINT SHOP NOTES Hand it to the painters, especially “Frenchie” Thomas. The painters have completed fixing windows in the Catholic Church. In the shop lately we have been finishing tables and chairs, also a desk. All are in nice shape. Andrew Hatfield, one of our top hands, was busy with the “Senior Play” for the last two weeks and did not report to work because he was perfecting his part. The painters have been painting some scenery for the play. The shoe shop boys repaired 337 pairs of shoes from the 1st to the 15th of April. We think our business is good. We are looking forward to the “final exam ination” in this work and all are ready for it.
