Classes Through The Four Years. e . . . i There are a bunch of squares around this school. They are the pride and ioy of a member of the faculty, Mr. Voris. They learn how to draw squares, rectangles, triangles, and other weird figures. They also learn how much weight to put on the end of a teeter-totter to balance oneself. Another thing they learn is how to be guided by a compass, not in navigation, but in drawing. ln biology the students learn the basic facts about the science of life. The classes now beneht from the newest piece of equipment, the Rayoscope. Vegetables that are really fruits, and the reproduction of plant life are delved into thoroughly. At first, the students are nervous at the prospect of cutting up little varmints, but later think that it is fun. A gay Mexican setting and tasty enchiladas, tortillas, saffron Spanish rice, and hot spiced chocolate were all the second year Spanish class needed for a Fiesta.
