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.
