SCHOOL NTOES
(Continued from Page Three)
recitations more interesting and help
ful, we left with a determination to
improve onr markings.
We think it would be a good idea
for the different classes to visit the
principal's office often as a “student
council” to discuss matters of in
terest. We want the discussions to be
socialized, every pupil taking part and
expressing his views freely, as was
done this time.
The school purchased numerous ed
ucational pictures from the National
Geographical Society. There is a va
riety of scenes, taken in different
lands. We are always glad to know
of something concerning other lands,
their people, products, etc., and in
this way we will not become “provin
cial.”
The High School class who use “The
100 Per Cent Speller" have been ex
periencing a great deal of difficulty of
late with the numerous “catch” words
in business terms.
Monday morning the freshman al
gebra pupils were given a test in the
review of factoring and division laws.
The boys of the High School room
enjoyed a pleasant afternoon in vari
ous sports on Wednesday, as they
were given a quarter holiday for at
tendance. We regret to say that the
girls could not join in and have the
quarter holiday, but as yet they do
not have enough perfect attendance
stars.
The advanced class in medieval
history were given a test on Thurs
day afternoon. The examination cov
ered “monasticism” and “The Rise
of the Papacy.”
Industrious pupils of the sewing
class are quite enthusiastic about
their work. Celia Friedman, Elaine
Bollinger and Headlee Lamprey are
working on sample towels. After the
towels have the edges hemmed a de
sign will be embroidered near the bor
der of the towel. Edith Katherine
Smith, Mildred Raber, Ophelia How
ard and Genevieve Dyson have com
pleted their pieces of work. The sew
ing class is under the supervision of
Miss Edelbrock.
The second twenty-five drills of the
penmanship manuals have been com
pleted and will be sent to the A. N.
Palmer Company on the steamship
Northwestern for their approval.
Mr. Calvin Hazelet of the school
hoard paid a visit to the school on
Thursday afternoon.
Miss Sophia Sjoberg. who taught
here last term, is living in Grand
Marais, Minn., with her mother.
(Edna Thawley)
The steam pipe that carries the
steam from the school building to the
playroom has been boxed and covered.
This prevents the freezing of it while
the fires are low over night.
The shorthand class made a record
yesterday of 100 words a minute in
repetition practice.
John Rosswog has succeeded Edna
Thawley as cashier and banker for
the general hardware business which
the bookkeeping class has just begun.
In this set a new three-column cash
hook has been added.
The sand table in Room 1 is now
ready for use again, as it has been
relined with galvanized tin.
(Margaret Foster)
All of the teachers were very
pleased to receive calendaras from the
Bank of Cordova. These calendars
are good for five years.
The pupils in Miss White’s room
seem to approve of all colors of the
rainbow. She has a very hard time
to get them to use black ink. Inks
of all colors continue to appear and
•‘lend color” to papers of all descrip
tions.
The members of the Kill Kare Club
did not have their weekly party last
Friday because they were attending
the bazaar. They all agreed they en
joyed themselves immensely, and add
that a few more bazazars would be ac
ceptable.
The general science class have been
studying chemistry and are preparing
for a few experiments.—Almira Mc
Gowan.
On Tuesday of last week the Eng
lish classes wrote a description of the
school house. Mr. Henderson has re
quested Miss Keever to write a de
scription of the Cordova school house,
which is to be used in a special edi
tion of the “Alaska School Bulletin.”
-—John Rosswog.
The ninth grade general science
class enjoyed a very "spooky” story
by Fitz O’Brien, read to them after
school by Miss Wright.—-Pauline de
Ville.
The Cordova and Juneau schools are
going to exchange school notes, which
means that our pupils will have to
work harder if they want to keep
their notes up with those of the Ju
neau, pupils.—Eugene Tibbs.
The following pupils in Miss Edel
brock’s room received “E” on their
test in penmanship last month: Irva
Call, Cecil Cox, Violet Hoover.
(Leona Churchill)
The intermediate grades, the gram
mar grades and the high school are
combining their efforts to have an in
formal Christmas entertainment to ■
take place a week from this Friday.
The girls and boys are going to sing
a number of selections and some reci
tations will be given. Also rumors of
a Christmas tree are about. No elab
orate affair is planned, because of the
entertainment that just took place,
which called for all the spare time of
some of our girls; but the school joins
in extending a hearty invitation to
friends and parents to attend and en
joy with them what has been pre
pared.
(Kathrine Boyce)
A number of new pictures have ar
rived and Miss Keever expects to
have them framed and up in the dif
ferent rooms before Christmas.
(John Rosswog)
The typewriting class has been kept
busy copying songs for use in prep
aration for the Christmas program.
