(^School News
•f -
Mr. Thompson has declared
that there be positively no snow
balling by the students during
school hours. To some of us this
sounds like a useless and fun
killing rule, but there is, indeed.
good reason behind it. Throwing
snowballs at passing vehicles is
dangerous and likely to cause ac
cidents if a window or the driver
is hit. It is the duty of the school
to try to decrease accidents rather
^han increase them. Everyone
realizes that snowballing is a lot
of fun but, for the sake of safety,
let’s obey the rules of the school
and not throw snowballs.
The girls and boys have ob
tained pledges from many of the
^jnerchants and buinesss men down
town for donations to the Tuber
culosis Seals Campaign which will
start next week. We all appreciate
the generosity of Nomeites in
these annual Tuberculosis drives.
1st and 2nd Grades
The first grade have finished
their work books and will take
them home so their parents can
see how well they do their work.
Both divisions of first grade are
together for a few days. We are
busy hunting pictures in maga
zines of “Foods that help us grow”
for our Growth Charts.
3rd and 4th Grades
The Red Birds are haopy to
have new books to read. Very few
children have been tardy this six
weeks period. Third and fourth
trades are reading Indian stories
:n reading classes.
5th Grade
In our Art Class, conducted by
Mrs. Judish, we have recently
made some posters of vegetables
and fruits. They look like real
vegetables of squash, carrots and
onions against a background of
black. The fruits of grapefruit, an
orange, and apples look real
against a background of tan and
yellow. For Geography, we have
just been reviewing some of the
early valleys, mountain trails and
routes, over which our explorers
went to settle the great west and
far west from the Mississippi Val
ley to the Pacific Coast. We know
what continental divide means.
We talked of the country, climate,
and produce of Utah, where the
Mormons settled and Ogden,
where the last spike of the Union
Pacific Railroad was driven, on
May 10, 1869.
6th Grade
We have completed a group of
well known stories in our Readers
and are planning to pantomime
some of the scenes from them.
The stories include "Pandora’s
Box” by Hawthorne, "The King
of the Golden River,” by Ruskin
and “Tom and His Treasure
Chest,” by Pyle. Illeene Seiden
verg is leaving this week on a trip
to Chicago. We are expecting that
she will have a great deal to tell
us when she returns. Her report
will add interest to our Geography
class.
FOR COLD
WEATHER STARTING
A new non-petroleum lubricant
for automobile, aircraft and other
internal combustion engines has
been developed and tested that is
claimed to have unusual advan
tages over mineral oil, particular
ly in cold weather. Its properties
are quite different in many re
spects from oils derived from pe
troleum. It is wax-free and can
be made to any desired viscosity.
The lubricant is a product of
