engineering college at the Univer

and Robert Clift on the “A” honor
roll according to the list given
given last week.
Julius Caesar, the tragedy by
Wm. Shakespeare, is being studied
by the tenth English class. Each

permit him to earn extra credit
for certain work that he does.
The literature of the civil war
period is being studied by the |

Last Friday the American history

of power in Europe. They have
just completed a unit on expansion
westward ilustrating each gain
made by the United States by map

The library class has just finish
ed a filing project, the object of
which was to teach proper filing
construction of catalog cards.
Bob Clift gave a fine description
of the Roman Forum before the

The seniors have had their pict
ures taken and are quite pleased
with “themselves.” Commence
ment announcements are being
ordered this week; tryouts for the
senior class play, “A Wood Violet”
are this week. All these things
make us realize that it is only a
short time until the seniors of 1938
will be Alumnae of the O’Neill high
school.
There is much excitement in the
commercial department as the
students prepare for the first com
mercial contest the public school

how to pass; correct signs to use
while passing, turning and back
ing; general signals found on high
ways and in streets of cities.
The art class is making four cut
out posters free hand cutting from
the chromo papers representing
1, landscape, 2, advertising, 3 seas
on, 4, Mother Goose. The class is
finding it quite interesting to study
colors and their best combinations.
GRADE NEWS
Signs of spring are being eagerly
watched for by the boys and girls.
The fourth grade has made a chart
which shows that the robin, mead
ow lark, and wood pecker have al
ready made their appearance.
The decorations in the varions
rooms, kites flying, windmills turn
ing, and Dutch boys and girls sur
rounded by gay tulips, also indicate
that spring is in the air.
The “Dutch Twins” is the book
of the week in the third grade.
The brownies of the first grade
are preparing the story “Don a
Collie Dog” to read to the third
grade. The fairies are reading
their seventh book this year. The
elves are enjoying a new book,
also, and are proud of their daily
improvement.
The "A” reading group of the
fourth grade are learning to read
a newspaper intelligently. World,
national, state and local news is
being collected and classified on the
new bulletin board.
“The Song of Hugh Glass” by
John G. Neihardt, Nebraska’s own
poet lauerate, is proving of great
interest to the eighth grade read
ihg class. Much of the action and
setting of the story is in Nebraska
which gives it an added interest.
Barbara Walling was the winner
of the review spelling contest in
the second grade. She had a per
fect score. Arthur Tibbets was
second, missing only one word.
Posters, in connection with the
study of silk in the third grade, are
being made. Fujiyama, Japan's
picturesque and sacred volcano;
pretty Japanese girls; baskets of
cocoons and the branch of a mul
berry tree furnish timely subjects
to illustrate this industry.
Original stories in English in the
fourth grade are acquiring new in
terest through the use of conver
sation, action and description.
The characters have become real,
not mere names on paper.
The seventh grade history class
is studying the making of the Con
stitution. The convention itself
is being dramatized and some fiery
debates are in progress. Benjamin
Franklin, George Washington, Jas.
Madison and other illustrous men
of this period are present and are
doing all they can to bring about
a peaceful compromise. Meredith
McKenna, as George Washington,
is acting as chairman of the Con
vention.
The eighth grade is doing exten
sive review work, in preparation
for the state examinations which
the will take ni April. A special
review class has been started in
general geography.
The art class is studying de
signs, motifs and borders.
Taxes, sources of federal income
and national expenses are being
studied in arithmetic.
The perfect attendance in this
room was 65 per cent last week.
Mrs. E. F. Peterson and daughter
Marlene, visited the seventh and
eighth grades Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Rose and Mrs. Richards
were third grade visitors this week.
Wallace Shellhamer, who has
been absent for three weeks due to
Scarlet fever, is back at his work
in the first grade. Somehow the
first grade wasn’t quite the same
without “Wally,” so they are glad
to have him back. +

You want this modem exclusive OIL-PLATING

friction, no matter how many thousands of starts
