Isl 1926 u Visit Through Pulp and Paper Mill During the first semester of school the high school geography class and the physics class visited the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Mill at Luke, Md. Mr. Knode and Miss Miltenberger chaperoned the students, but a guide took them through the mill. The different processes of paper mak- ing were explained to them as they Went from one part of the mill to an- other. The trip was very interesting as well as educational and the stu- dents appreciated the opportunity to visit the mill as it is one of the larg- est pulp and paper mills in the world. Visit To The Ice Plant Mr. Knode chaperoned the general science and the physics classes thru the Piedmont Ice Plant on December 1, 1925. As both classes study the process of ice making, the trip was very interesting, and each student pro- fited by it.

The debate was strongly contested, neither giving ground until the judges decided in favor of the negative. After another selection by the orchestra, the last selections, heavy and light readings were given.
