My Favorite Aulhor call Louisa Mae Alcott my favorite author because she seems to understand the real life of girls. She writes about boys too, but I like the stories about girls best, because I am a girl myself. I think the best' story that she wrote about girls is Little Women. I like this so well because everything that happens seems true and natural. In the first part of the book it pictures the hard life of the family while their father is in war. The other part of the book is happier because their father returns and Jo gets married to Mr. Bhaer. Then they all live a very happy life. This story is continued in another book of this author, namely Little Men. I think Little Women especially appeals to girls and every girl ought to read it because it teaches many lessons. Julia Kottnauer Young Writers N Miss Clark's eighth hour class we have a number of young writers. Every Wed- nesday we take a part of the hour to hear the stories. One of the most interesting stories is Under Northen Skies by Donna Wallace. It is a story of a trip north to discover hidden gold. It is not a short story as you would think but a regular book. Another is Her First Trip Abroadf' writ- ten by Rose May Schwinck. This is also a very exciting story of a girl who has many experi- ences on an ocean liner. Mildred Butler is our poet. Her poem Sun- set is in this issue. A number of other girls are writing stories but have not yet decided the names. We hope to find one of these stories in the Reflector.

You were juniors last year, weren't you? .. 1, The Chariot Race NCE upon a time when the world was just beginning, King Polonias, a merman, decided to have a chariot race. All the young mermen were training their steeds for this great festivity. Stumpingham town was the largest city underneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean near Georgia, therefore the King had his palace there. He lived with his wife and son besides all of their servants in a beautiful palace of sea- weed and colored stones. It was situated near- What does situated mean? piped up the small voice of my cousin. Marcia. Well, situated means located. The town was located in a hollow near the coast. The young prince, Thornton, was to drive a chariot also. He had four coal-black steeds and a magnihcent chariot of colored seaweed. When he was christened, a fairy said that he would always be able to win in everthing he undertook. At last the big day came, and all the mermen and mermaids sat in a big grandstand around the race track. Finally all the Chariots came out of a stable at one end of the grounds and lined up. All the people were cheering for all they were worth. A pistol cracked and they were off. , At first a young merman by the name of Per- cival was ahead, and then the prince shot past him. He won the race. While his horses were running, they began to foam at the mouth, and they foamed so much that it all went to the sur- face of the waters. Ever since then when it foams, you will know that the people in the water are having a chariot race.

Mechanical Drawing HE study of Mechanical Drawing sas a whole is very interesting. The elementary grades of Mechanical Drawing are seventh eighth, and ninth grades respectively. Our two mechanical drawing teachers through an interview gave the following facts about the study which is really the basic language of industry. Mechanical Drawing to some students is the most interesting on their program. To others it is the slowest two hours that they ever spent pushing a pencil. Both teachers agree that the 7B grade is their slowest class to get started. The main reason for this is the fact that it is new to them, and possibly the idea that their teacher is a man who frightens them a bit - maybe a whole lot. ' Nevertheless the seventh grade work is taken up to teach the pupil accuracy, neatness and trade practice. The eighth grade is a gradual climb to more thorough and complete drawings, taking in machine drawings such as a crank, ventilater cap, machine bolt and many others. In the ninth grade the work and the teacher show a decided improvement as the teacher seems to have a more cheerful look and the drawings seems to be easier, Mr.Mussatto and Mr. Long can truthfully say that their9 A class on the average are the fastest progressing class- es that they teach. Aesop 2000 years ago said: A bird in the hand is worth a stitch in time, Cloud laughterl but now in 1927 Mr. Long says, Because Mechanical Drawing is used so exten- sively in the world, every man should be able to read a drawing. For the same reason that the fundamentals of any foreign language are taught in the Junior High School. so also should the fundamentals of this Universal Language be taught to all boys in this Junior High grade. Mr. Mussatto also adds that Drawings executed by the aid of instruments are called mechanical drawings. Generally the term is associated with drawings representing machin- ery only. But all drawings must be accurately made, and for the execution of which recourse must be had to instruments, may be classed among mechanical drawings.

What W'e Found Out N g . 'gl Li: OME of the girls in Mrs. Sanford's eighth hour Hygiene class wished to know what Central Junior High School eats so some of the girls went up to the Cafeteria at noon and took down the lunches of the pupils and teachers. After they took down the lunches they brought them to class. The papers with the lunches on were given to some other girls who tabulated them under four big headings: sweet lunches, protein lunches, starchy lunches, and correct lunches. Our results were interest- ing. See chart for results. In order that you may know what these different food groups include We shall tell you. 1. Starchy foods are all those made from any kind of grains fwheat, rye, corn, or ricej or went something like this. This conversation was between Susie Stout and her friend. I can't get anything to eat up here unless it is something to make me stouter, sighed Susie Stout. Nor I, said her friend. Susie's lunch was of cake, ice cream, candy bar, and pie. Her friend's was the same. The boy ahead of me was Johnny Grumpy who always had a stomach ache. He had beans, pickles, olives, ice cream, and milk. After I chose my lunch I went to sit at a table. It happened I sat near Susie Stout so I heard more of her conversation.
