One half of the school year is com pleted. The exams seem so easy to some pupils and dif ficult for others. All the rooms up stairs have a coat of new paint. It makes every room cheerful, and the color combinations are pleasing. The mural on the main hall bulletin board was done by Miss Gray and her first grade pupils. It has a jolly old snow man and pretty snowflakes. In the background is a little red school house, and three evergreen trees. We know the first graders had fun doing this art project.

Many students are now en rolled in the second semester senior arithmetic course. This course is offered fourth per iod daily. It is designed as a review course in arithmetic and business mathematics for those students who have not elected to continue with the more advanced courses of fered in high school. Fresh man math, the only math course required by the state for graduation from high school, is the only math most of this class has taken. The majority of seniors not en rolled in this course have taken algebra I, geometry, and either one or both of the two courses, algebra II and trigonometry. Mrs. Mildred James is in structing all mathematics classes, including this senior arithmetic review course. A plan for the future is being considered by which all seniors not completing at least, two years of regular math courses by their senior year in high school will be re quired to take this course with a satisfactory grade be fore being graduated. "More field trips," was the answer Robert Myrick re ceived when he asked the American Problems what would help them to under stand their work better.
