SCHOOL NEWS
By OLAF HALVERSON
The freshmen initiation was a
great success -this year in that
everyone cooperated and did his
part. The freshmen had obeyed all
the commands of the upperclass
men in carrying home their books.
The final fantastic trials on the
stage were not too severe, and the
freshmen will always cherish the
memories of those traditional
events. The party terminated with
a delicious lunch.

High scholarship should be one
of the goals for which every stu
dent should strive. Good study
habits begun in the freshman year
will bring happy returns on grad
uation day. We get no more out
of our work than we put into it.
Next to scholarship comes per
fect attendance. Every student
should strive to be at school and
on time every day. Many of the
students are on the road to suc
cess in this respect. At the close of
the year they will be awarded
perfect attendance certificates if
they continue the good habit of
punctuality.

One of Shakespeare’s interest
ing plays is “The Tempest”, now
being studied by the English III
students. Book reports every two
weeks and a theme on Friday
keep the students very busy.
Geometry students have been
informed on the early history of
geometry. The word “geometry”
is interesting in that the prefix
“geo” means “earth” and the
suffix “metry” means “measure
ment; in other words, geometry
means earth measurement. No
wonder it is a basic course for en
gineering and surveying. We are
familiar with the expression “Ne
cessity is the mother of invention.”
So it was with the Egyptians who
found it necessary to resurvey
their lands each year after the
Nile River receded to its natural
channel.

Rotary Reads Its Magazine
Believing it has one of the best
magazines going, Rotary took time
at its noon luncheon Thursday 16
hear what the United Nations was
currently doing to preserve peace
in Kashmir, what progress the
civic-minded citizens of Egypt are
making to remove some of the
misery in their country, and an
article by a Rotary lawyer on how
to be a good witness.
t •
There is always a good joke for
anyone lucky enough to pick up
this magazine in some Rotarian
doctor’s office: The judge said if
the jury didn’t agree by evening,
he would send up twelve suppers.
The jury foreman had a better
idea—just send eleven suppers
and one bale of hay.
The coroner’s jury held last
Wednesday afternoon on C.C. Tan
ner returned a verdict of acciden
tal drowning.
