We began our year by discovering. ns iicarlv as possible, our weak | oinfs in tin various subjects, and then planning means to ovcrconn them. Tin basic subjects wort? given special st rcss throughout the year because we be- lieve that being able to understand what is read, and to write and spell cor reel ly, form a foundation for all other subjects. The fourth grade followed a definite program of outside reading, feeling that inileli practice would menu definite improvement in all their work. Hook reports at stated intervals led to outside reading m tin fifth and sixth grades. We attempted to enlarge our knowledge of the world in general by entry- ing out speeial projeets in the fields of history and geography The fifth grade took great pride in pnptrill| booklets containing i eomplete review of their study of the Toiled States, while the fourth grade kept an interesting “log” of an imaginary trip across the Tinted States. The study of inventions proved an incentive tor tin making of a series of posters showing the im- provement of the various means of transportation from early to modem times. (hir music program laid special emphasis on ear training, which is the foundation of true appreciation of music. The study of a series of folk songs, typical of the different countries, correlated our music with other subjects. The work carried on m our art periods consisted of the stnd of Indian de- signs, famous pictures, lettering, paper cutting, ......... woodwork, and the planning and working out of seasonal borders. IN her instructive projeets were the making of booklets after intensive study of tin following topics: “Milk and Its (’oust it iicnts,'' “Foods and Their Value,” and “Totton and Its Uses,” The abovi activities interspersed with birthday parties, the celebration of special holidays, carnival and Christmas programs, made it a very pleasant and, we hope, progressive year. 2«

Among tlu newly i 111 rodueed subjects this year, one in particular, home economics, proved interesting and valuable to tin girls. Many of the girls took advantage of tliis offer during the past year. There were three classes, one for the junior and senior girls, one for the freshmen and sophomores, and one for the seventh and eighth grade girls. Miss Nelson had charge of these classes and has been a capable and efficient instructor. At the beginning of the year, a shower was given for the home economics room, to which the women of the community were invited. Members of the home economics classes also gave a program, after which the gifts received from the guests wen opened, displaying a large assortment of valuable and, of course, useful utensils and equipment. At the close of the evening, a lunch prepared by the high school home makers was served. As a result of the shower, the enphoards in the home economics room were well filled and thus improved the working conveniences for the girls. Cooking and sewing, the two essentials in home economics, were not taught separately each semester hut, instead, equal time was devoted to each during both semesters. The seventh and eighth grade girls received lessons in sew- ing most, of tin year and praeticed some of the principles of cooking. For the freshmen and .sophomore girls, cooking and sewing were carried out al- ternately, and the class was divided into two groups, it being too large for all to work at cooking or sewing at the same time. Since there were only six members in the junior and senior class, they were taught those things which were considered most important in the course because some of them were seniors and tliis was their only opportunity to receive this knowledge. Besides cooking and sewing, this class studied Mich things as interior decora- tion and the care of children. A dinner was served to the mothers of the girls ami to Mr. and Mrs. Li. t Olson by the junior and senior girls. Kadi of the two groups in the fresh- men and sophomore class also served a slipper to invited guests. Home economies is to he a permanent course offered in this school, and we hope it will prove to he a most interesting and useful eour.se. 25 Catherine llitz.
