SENIOR CLASSES In typing classes we have covered the greater part of our textbook. Richard Clay, Genevieve Strand, LaVonne Doane, Marcia Carey, Lee Hauser, Kenneth Ludlow, Donald Rob- ertson, Tommy Thompson, Wayne Richardson, Raymond Schultz, Gretchen Wiseman Irene Weir, and Raymond Quigley have re- ceived uso worda certificates. LaVonne Doane, Genevieve Strand, Marcia Carey, have received U40 wordu bronze pins. Marcia Carey and LaVonne Doane have received U50 wordu sil- ver pins. LaVonne Doane has received a N60 wordn gold pin. Mr. Voelker seems to think there is still room for improve- ment. I heard him tell one of the other teachers that he couldn't depend on any of us to type stencils because we made so many errors. American Government classes consisted of studies of the development of our country and laws that have been intro- duced as our way of living has become more complex. In Economics, we have made a thorough study of the four main cycles of economics: consumption, production, exchange and distributions and their relation to the lives of each of us. In both of these latter subjects Mr. Rhum has man- aged to come through with a weekly test on the nWeekly News Review. In Geometry we have dealt with all types of figures: triangles, 'c1rcles, popygons, rectangles, and the relations between their sides and angles. We also had some work in trigonometry. The other day Mrs. Kelley started to criti- cise her own teaching. She says she gives us to much help but no body agrees with her. Last semester we had quite an enjoyable time in Sales- manship. We spent the majority of our time learning the qualifications of a good salesman and how to develop and make use of these qualities in every day living, by selling our services or using it as a profession. Miss Haas, our instructor, seemed to be a great economist--she was always saving waste paper. English Literature classes have taken up the greater part of our time these last few weeks--we have read selec- tions contributed by the different races that have ruled England. Beginning with the old English Period, we read UBe- owulfn written by the Anglo-Saxons. The most important se- lection of the Middle English period was Geoffrey Chaucer's nCanterbury Tales.n In the Elizabethan Period, we read UMacbethU by Shakespeare. The contributions of the Puritan were made by John Milton and John Bunyan, while the age of Clalsicism was marked by Alexander Pope's epigrams that are quoted so often, such as nFools rush in where angels fear to tread.n The lyric poetry of Robert Burns and William Wordsworth, and the essays of Charles Lamb, during the Ro- mantic period, were some of the more modern selections we studied. We have enjoyed very much the book reports that Mrs. Rhum assigns us every six weeks also. -1g-

We're not saying that we're getting discouraged or anything but we are wearing down slightly!!! Possibly there's a reason--I'll name a few, We first took up the courses of history and English as the major subjects. Then, there were a few variations along the lines of speech, geometry, agriculture, and salesmanship. The second semester brought a change both in subject and teacher. We changed from salesmanshlp to economics and from Miss Haas to Mr. Rhum. Mr. and Mrs. Rhum should know the juniors quite inti- mately by the time school is out. Mr. Rhum has to put up with us through history and economic classes while Mrs.Rhum struggles with us in English and speech classes. The Juniors are feeling an added responsibility with the year for which plans for the junior-senior banquet are re- quired. It will be a new experience and probably a thrilling- one for most of the girls since they will get to wear a formal for the first time. I've heard some of the juniors say that it is going to seem pretty dull around school here next year without the seniors. I think that same thought runs through all the student's minds though. It simply means that the Juniors will have to stir up some excitement to make the old school seem natural. Maybe you'd like to know a little more about our sub- jects--so here goes. In history we've been studying all a- bout the American civilization. Civil wars, Spanish Ameri- can wars, etc... In English we've spent most of our time on literature. But definitely! It seems that we've taken everthing from Bret Harte's local color stories up to Walt Whitman's stylish poetry. We'd covered a lot of territory! In economics we've studied about allfreallylkinds of social life so we ought to be able to get along better in society and also in the business world. Speech is giving the stu- dents more poise and is trying to teach the student to be more at ease before the public eye. -20-
