World history students have
had an interesting study on the
Hundred Years War of 1346 to
1453. They have also studied the
English rule in Scotland.
Geometry students have com
pleted the study of the two types
of polygons—the convex and the
concave. They have noticed that
the grounds of most universities
make use of geometric figures in
their plans. The theorems on
parallelograms and parallel lines
have been completed.
Next week is test week, so the
students are putting forth intense
effort during the days preceding
Thanksgiving vacation. Successful
grades in the tests will make the
vacation more pleasant.

composed of many thousands of
stars so distant that no telescope
can show the individual members.
It is believed that it takes light
many thousands of years to span
the abyss that separates it from
the solar system.
