The pupils of the grammar grades
hare spent some of their recesses in
playing a geographical game which
Ruth Donohoe brought to school. It
f-Q both educational and amusing, and
the children seem quite interested.
The exhibition art board in the up
per hall has been attractively decor
ated with posters made by pupils of
the grammar grades. Pictures have
been clipped from magazines and are
mounted on pieces of colored draw
ing paper, and the name of one of
our local firms appears on each. The
Style Shop Is represented with a |
mounted Dolly Varden; Mrs. Rolfe’s|
romping children in summer!
frocks; and Rosswog’s store with a!
display of toys. They are all very
original and deserve credit. This work
was done under Miss Edelbrock’s su
pervision.
Algebra pupils are experiencing a
great deal of difficulty with fractions.
Tin^e has been devoted to memorizing
rales, reducing fractions, and addi
tion and subtraction of fractions.
The advanced class in history are
studying the events during the Cru
' sades.
The bookkeeping class have spent
their time lately on commercial drafts
and the direct method of closing a
ledger.
Katherine Boyce was reciting his
tory the other day about the pilgrim
ages of the people to* the Holy Land
during the Crusades, and stated that
“the people took off their shoes and
went bareheaded.”
Miss Wright has been suffering
from a cold for the.last few days and
has not been able to speak above a
whisper.
,_
The thirsty pupil is confronted by
the inscription, ‘Beware of the Spout
ing Geyser”, written on the black
board above the drinking fountain.
During the cold spell the water was
shut off while not in use, and now
when the faucet is turned on, we gen
erally are given a shower bath.
The primary pupils are constructing
a model Eskimo village out of sand.
Dampened sand will be moulded into
igloos and the inhabitant of the vil
lage are to be shaped from clay.

The children of this room made
some attractive work woven from
pieces of colored paper.
A Little Nonsense
’
Love’s Labor Lost.—The teacher
Jhad kept Johnnie after school and
talked long and, as she thought, im
pressively. When she -was quite
through Johnnie looked up in a con
templative way and remarked:
“Teacher, it’s just your lower jaw
that moves when you talk, ain’t it?”
I —
j Teacher (reading problem)— ‘If it
! took six women twenty-two days to
'
j reel one hundred pounds of raw silk,
| how much did each woman reel per
j day?’ How would you work this out,
' Bob?”
Bob Daggett—“Why, you divide.
..You put the women into the silk.”
In nature study class Miss Kolben
son was discussing bees with her first
grade pupils, when Freddie Fairman
; broke in excitedly: “My grandpa
- keeps bees—lots of ’em. He’s got
ten.”
; Buster Sherman and Bobbie Daggett
- have introduced a new winter sport in
Cordova. This is choosing a nice,
^ warm day when the temperature is
.%
5 _
from six to ten degrees above zero,
and jumping into the bay.
Son—“What does ‘college-bred’
mean, dad?”
Dad—“It quite often means a four
years’ loaf, my son.”
Miss Wright—“You see, heat makes
things expand. That’s the reason why
the iron rails are laid with a little
space between them.”
Mike Shepard—“Then do we- stop
growing in the winter?”
Miss Wright (pointing to the word
“pneumonia”)—“Do you know the
meaning of this word?”
Beverly McKenny—“Yes, it’s stuff
in bottles that you use to wash clothes
with.”
Notes by Catherine Boyce
What would happen if—
The boats stopped running to Cor
dova
Leona Churchill’s hair wouldn’t
curl?
John Rosswog learned to jazz?
Almira McGowan forgot California?
Miss Keever ever used slang?
Katherine Boyce stopped saying,
“Why, in Los Angeles”?
Some business men in the States
have strange ideas of Alaska. Re
cently a Cordova firm sent East for
some goods. The Eastern house re
plied that the goods would be sent as
soon as Alaska navigation opened in
the spring.
Remember the date, Jan. 24.
