TYPING I IMPROVES SPEED
Say! The typing I classes are get-
ting good. If you will listen at the
fourth period every day, you will
hear a continual clicking of the type-
writers in the typing lab. The
classes have been taking speed tests,
typing letters and typing magazine
articles and advertisements.
The advertisements were not so
easy to type, and maybe they did not
look so good, but, nevertheless, the
class had tried.—J. W.

tism and electricity.
In the study of magnets, the class

become magnets and the method by
which the magnet works.
During the study of electricity, the
students learned the different kinds
of electricity.
On Monday, Dec. 18, the class
studied about the relation between
electricity and chemical energy.—M.

HOME MAKING III
The home making HI class, under
the supervision of Miss Williams,
has been planning, cooking, and
serving dinners. The dinners, so far,
have turned out very successfully.
The girls also have taken up the
study of calories this week. Each

two prosecuting attorneys, Birt Rus-
sell and Rudolph Russell, examined
the witnesses for the defendant.

Irene Mitchell, Louise McSpedden,
Modene Vineyard, Martha Jo Dar-

joyed the trial very much.—M. S.

V. A. HI IDENTIFIES
SHRUBS
Students in the V. A. HI class have
been very busy during the past week
learning the names of shrubs and to
identify them when they see them.
The students were given an identifi-
cation test last Friday over the
shrubs they had studied to that date,
and they found that they needed to
spend some time studying.
After Christmas the class will
study landscaping and will probably
landscape part of the high school
campus. They will arrange the
plants studied to obtain the most
beauty for the eye.—R. R.

An enjoyable program, consisting
of the following parts, was presented
between courses: Invocation, P. A,
Short; Welcome, Martha Jo Darwin,
Pep-Squad president; Trio, Mary
Alice Harrison, Louise McSpedden,
Laverne Kilgroe; Toast, Jarvis D.
Maddox; Response, Brazwell Alex-
o’clock. The affirmative side
given by a Mr. Rhodes and a
McKay of the University of Kansas,
and the negative by Mr. Tom Moore
and Mr. Witt of the University of
Texas. The debate was won by the
negative side.
This was the local team’s second
opportunity to hear a discussion of
socialized medicine. They went to
Dallas on Sunday, December 10,
where they heard the broadcast from
Scott Hall. The group seemed to en-
joy both trips thoroughly and to
profit by them.—C. B.
STUDY OF ADJUSTMENT
LETTERS
The business English class, under
the supervision of Mrs. Kennemer,
have been studying the four differ-
ent kinds of adjustment letters. Aft-
er having studied the plans for these
four letters they wrote and typed
them for their notebooks. They have
also collected a number of business
letters outside of class and placed
them under the different types of
business letters.—I. H.

large red bows formed the center-
pieces, and silver and red stars were
strewn about the table. Red ceiling
lights and red lighted candles filled
the room with the Christmas spirit.
A silver Christmas tree with vari-
colored lights completed the theme.
The programs were red Christmas
bells tied with silver ribbons, and
the place cards were small white
STUDENT COUNCIL HOLDS
MEETINGS
Several meetings of the Student
Council have been held recently to
attempt to settle the dancing ques-
tion. Miss Williams, who meets reg-
' \ ..... ”, Mr. Man-
ning, and Mr. Key discussed the
question with the group. A final
questionnaire was made concerning
the attitude toward dancing, and this
was presented to the students to-
gether with questions about religion.
This pressing question has been
given so much attention because of
the students’ requests to make danc-
ing possible at school-sponsored par-
ties. Until it is definitely settled,
other important issues will remain in
the background.—C. D.
FOOTBALL BANQUET AROUSES

pression of the holiday spirit and
Christmas cheer. The tables re-
