Junior High School Departments 1 L.. ....i ARITHMETIC Cecile Harnlin HERE has been a change made in the text book used in 7th and Sth grade arithmetic. the new text used is junior Mathematics for Today. Book 1 is used in grade seven and book 2 in grade eight. The subject matter differs somewhat from that of the old text book, in that it aims to familiarize the pupil with the simpler ideas of geometry and algebra. In the seventh grade, the child is taught to recognize the shapes and positions of geometric figures, also the development of scale drawing and indirect measurement. In the eighth grade this work is enlarged upon to include angles, simple instructions, and designs based on geo- metric forms. The introduction of algebra is made in the middle of the eighth year. The work is concrete, including life situations, illustrations, and im- portant problems so that the pupil has no need to feel the work is beyond him. Because of the changes and additional work in this new book, the regents is not being taken until at the completion of the eighth grade. At present, the children are very busy pre- paring for the June examinations, as they are making a complete review of arithmetic. ENGLISH Margaret Klutz HE UPPER grade English includes many fields such as reading of good books and Various literary selections, library drills, dis- cussions, compositions, and letter writing, be- sides formal grammar and corrective English. We believe pupils should have a taste for correct and good English and realize that it is a living and a vital part of life. There is a certain amount of drill and routine work necessary, but various phases we modern- ized. The 7th grade have read many stories from their literature books. During this term, some of the 7-2 grade actually told the best original stories in the 5-1 and 7-1 grades. This not only motivated the work, but correlated the oral and written. The book records of the 8-1 grade show what each pupil has read outside of Page Twenty-eight school thus far in junior high. An imaginary broadcast stimulated the literature review in the 8-2 grade. By various methods, we honestly attempt to have each child realize the importance of correct- ly spoken and written English, and that correct English ojers good dividends. GEOGRAPHY Ann Young EGENTS geography is tried at the com- pletion of the 7-2 grade. The course attempts to give the pupil a general idea of the life and problems of people throughout the world. It stresses the reasons why people live where they do, why certain areas can support dense populations others sparse, also a compari- son of the standard of living of various peoples. A study of relief and its consequent effects upon industries and population is taken up. Climate belts are emphasized and the effects of climate related to various divisions of the work studied. The course is divided into units, consisting of mathematical, climate grazing, mining forests, agriculture and irrigation, manufacturing and power, distribution of population, transporta- tion, and nations and dependencies. HISTORY Dorothy Meek ISTORY of today is made interesting through the newspaper, radio and moving pictures. The 8-1 and 8-2 classes enjoyed keep- ing up with current history every week in the Junior Review, and an eight page paper printed especially for the students of these grades. The year has been an exciting time for radio commentations starting in September with dark clouds over Europe, World Fairs, Baseball Cen- tennials and sinking submarines. Now we are hearing previews on presidential election news and the visit of the king and queen of England. We had interesting reports on the movies of the year Men with Wings, Union Pacific, Sons of Liberty, Declaration of Indepen- dence, Dodge City, Alexander Graham Bell Jesse James, 1'Young Mr. Lincoln, The Great Tribute and Juarez which were seen

Grades Activities PRE-FIRST AND KINDERGARTEN Mabel Price UR CLASS this year have made a home unit book for our own use. Each one of the children told something that was done in the home and illustrated it with a picture clipped from a magazine. The children are now using the book to play with. 1-1 GRADE Helen Lang HE CHILDREN 1-1 class have made a project concerning their homes. It has pictures of the responsibilities of each member of the family and of the outside of the house. English, reading, drawing and word study have contributed much to the project. Emphasis have also been made on health and safety. Their health words are cleanliness, sleep, play and happy heart. 1-2 GRADE Florence Iflfhltcornb HE CLASS this year have made a series of pictures illustrating spring, summer, fall and winter. Their project consists of a safety table with posters of stop lights, policemen, and cars on it. Toys were drawn from models to represent some phase of safety. 2-2 GRADE Esther Tooley HE PROJECT for our year's work was the study of the farm. The study included the projects raised on the farm, the relation of the farm to us - the making of butter, etc. For exhibit we made a complete farm with the house, barn silos, etc. on it. After exhibit the class took great delight in presenting the farm to the kindergarten. 2-1 GRADE Mildred Antes EALTH and safety have played a very important part in this class for the term. They have heard many stories about these sub- jects. They have made their own health rules and safety rules and have tried hard to abide by each set. Page Thirty 3-1 GRADE Bessie Roach URING the year, these 3-1 children have made some very attractive booklets and chalk drawings, also some very good crayola drawings. 3-2 GRADE Andrey Stevens HE CHILDREN of the 3-2 have beer studying clothing, fuel, transportation and map making in directions geography. The art work is about the sa ,ne as other years. The reading of this grade has been dra natiza- tion of different types. 4-1 GRADE Marion Henes HE BIG thrill of most pupils who arrive at 4-1 is the study of that grown up sab- ject - HISTORY. The keen interest and outside reading done by the pupils have made this class a pleasant memory. Our lovely large geography books with the wonderful imaginary trips to other lands have been a source of real joy. Our large chalk draw- ings depicting life in these far-away lands were much enjoyed by all. The movie of Eskimoland was real fun but we learned a lot of geography while doing it. Arithmetic was not at all tiresome. We had a fishing race - not the longest story but for the greatest number of fish. Each fish repre- sented A or A-I-. William Jacobi proved to be the quickest with 36 to his credit while George Gates came in second with 32. Spelling bees brightened up that class. There was pleasant and friendly rivalry between Pa- tricia Kenrick and William Jacobi. They came out equal in number of Champion Speller for the week. In art we did the usual drawing in keeping with season and holiday. We pictured many ideas we received in geography, history or reading classes. Our color booklets were really worth while. Cereal and milk booklets in con- nection with health class were so much fun to make. We did some good work in music too.
