Many new and interesting
books have arrived for the
elementary school libraries.

time to put them in the prop
er places on the shelves. Books
on atomic energy, space ships,
and satellites are great favor
ites. We have also received a
few books that give us new
ideas on puzzles, riddles, and
party games. Many children
have decided that the slogan
in the library which says,
"Books are good comrades
these cold winter days" is
true.

loudest presentations of school

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.

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. With
this idea in mind Wednesday
afternoon the ' class boarded
the bus and went out to Med
co to tour a saw mill. The
class has been studying "Tim
ber Conservation."

ing a spaghetti dinner Satur
day, Feb. 1, before the Phoe
nix-Eagle Point basketball
game. The dinner will be held
in the grade school cafeteria;
serving will begin at 4 p.m.
and will continue until 7 p.m.
The tickets are being sold by
each member of the junior
class. The purpose of this din
ner is to help raise money for
the Junior-Senior Prom this
spring.
Cup cake sale was held in
the Phoenix High hall, Jan.
22, by the FHA chapter. These

dime apiece. Each girl from

Sweethearts Ball to be held
in February.
Designs for a linoleum rug
are being made in the geom

geometry to everyday life.
Mrs. M. O. Grove, regis

home economics III girls the
Red Cross course in home
nursing. In this course the

method of eating and facts
about prenatal care. It is their
motto "What we know we
don't fear."
Paints, easels and brushes
seems to be the theme of Art
club these days. The class has
just started their first paint
ings in oil. These paintings
contain a building with a
scenic background of trees,
hills and mountains. The stu
dents hope to finish their
work in three or four meetings.

In the same way that sterling on silver signifies
a standard of known value, so is the A.B.C. em
blem a symbol of integrity for the circulation of
newspapers and periodicals. It means that circu
lation so identified is measured according to the
rules and standards of the Audit Bureau o?
Circulations i
The A.B.C. Is a cooperative and non-profit
association of 3,450 publishers, advertisers and
advertising agencies. Organized in 1914, these
buyers and sellers of advertising brought order
out of advertising chaos by setting
up standards for paid circulation
and establishing rules and methods
for measuring, auditing and report
ing circulations.
Therefore, the work of the A.B.C.,
of which this newspaper is proud to
ue
be a member," provides you with a direct and
valuable service. You can buy advertising as you
would make any other sound business investment
on the basis of well known standards, known
values. '
At regular intervals one of the Bureau's large
staff of experienced circulation auditors makes a
thorough audit of our circulation records. The
results of this exacting audit show: How much
circulation we have; where our circulation goes;
how it was obtained; and many other facts that
you need in order to know just what
you get for your advertising dollars.
This audited information is pub
lished by the Bureau in easy-to-read
A.B.C. reports which are available
to our advertisers on request. Ask"
