Study Center Students Win High Praisei'urveyin Eleven Plattsncuth Students Have Papers Given Recognition at Lincoln. The Plattsmcuth Study Center, organized under the CW3, has been in operation at the high school for the past three weeks under Principal R. F Patterson as counselor, and Miss Leona Hudson as director. Eleven students are enrolled iu col- lege courses in English, American History, Political Science, Chemistry, Psychology, and Home Economics. The first lessons were sent in to the extension division last week for cor rection. These were in American History and Political Science and'the students in thsse subjects were very gratified to find their papers were marked ninety and above, and the comments of the readers, written in the margin, were complimentary to the work done by the Plattsmouth j students. This is very interesting uue to the fact that a general bulletin from the etate director of this work two weeks ego announced that the lessons sent in at that time from other places over the state were uni formly poor. Plattsmouth has a verv fine group enrolled, and all but two are recent graduates of Plattsmouth high school. That they are making an outstanding record in their col lege work is a tribute, not only to their ability and work, but also irdi cates that the Study Center organ ized here is very much worth while. Those who are continuing the work at the present time are: George Adam. Agnes Brink, Greth Garrett, Aulton Holland. Helen Woolcott, Marvin Tritsch, Albert Toman, Floyd Shanholtz, Ellnora Hennings, Fay Hennings and Stuart Portsr. DEDICATE NEW CHURCH C. C.
