FIRST GRADE NEWS
In spite of the fact that we have
had many children absent the past
week, we have gotten a lot of work
done. Our house has all of the sides
on and most of the roof. Each boy
and girl has helped tear up boxes for
the sides and all have enjoyed nailing
the sides on. We want everyone to
see it when it is finished.
We celebrated George Washington’s
birthday by making flags, hatchets,
learning stories about him, and illust-
rating stories.-------GHS-------
SECOND GRADE NEWS
Most of the children were at school
again today after having been absent
because of sickness, and cold weather.
Mrs. Kirchhoff, the County Health
Nurse, inspected the children of our
room Tuesday.
We have made Washington silhou-
ettes, shields and hatchets for Wash-
ington’s Birthday. We are still study-
ing communication and transportat-
ion.
--------GHS-------
FIFTH GRADE NEWS
We have quite a few absences from
school due to the bad weather and
illness. We hope that everyone will
soon be back.
We have finished our six weeks ex-
ams. Report cards will be given out
next week.
The boys and girls really enjoyed
the snow and ice.-------GHS-------
SIXTH GRADE NEWS
We were glad to have Mrs. Davis
visit our room about a week ago.
Mrs. Kirchhoff taught the class on
Personal Hygiene Tuesday.
W. J. Wegner broke his arm in two
places while playing Monday.

FRESHMEN NEWS
“Come on everyone,
Support Flora Glen
If you do—
We’ll be sure to win.”
The whole high school is having a
play night at the gym Friday, Feb.
25. The Freshmen will sell so be sure
and buy from us. We are all feeling
better since it rained. Aren’t you ?
We are sure you are feeling so fine
that you are willing to help us lots.
“Give until it hurts” is our motto.

SOPHOMORE NEWS
All of you come out Friday night
and see the girls beat the boys in
volley ball. We got our pictures and
some of us were really surprised how
good they turned out, especially Red
Harper.

JUNIOR NEWS
The Junior news has been changed
into a “Guess Who” column from the
way it reads.
The contest for the best all around
boys and girl did not close the fifteen-
th as was expected. The date was
changed to a later date so that the
classes could make some money to
support their boy and girl. We are
still hoping Joyce and Charles are
voted the best all-around boy and girl
in high school.
The answer to last week’s Guess
Who was Madeline Townsend.
Guess who this girl is:
She is five foot and six inches tall
and weighs one hundred and twelve
pounds. She, dresses neat at all
times and wears a black coat without
a hat to school. (She can’t find a
hat big enough). She has dark brown
hair and hazel eyes. She doesn’t go
with every boy, but likes a few. She
has been on the honor roll twice this
year, (but may never get on there
again) but here’s hoping she does.
She is serious minded at times and
at other times people can get along
with her.
Her want is to be popular and have
lots of boy friends. Guess who she is.
Answer next week.-------GHS-------
SENIOR NEWS
Friday night in the gymnasium all
classes in high school will have a
booth and will try to out sell the oth-
er classes so that they can get their
class representatives elected as the
best all around boy and girl. There
will be lots of games and lots to eat,
but every one that comes should come
with his pockets full of money, not
hands. Only the high school students
will participate in the games, but the
fifth, sixth, and seventh grades are
invited to come and buy from us.
Come and bring your parents too and
support your favorite high school
class.
All pictures for the annual are here
and the annual staff has started work
on the pages. Tuesday in a class
meeting we elected a new assistant
business manager, Anna Marie Kueh-
ler

HOME ECONOMICS I NEWS
We are coming along with our slips
just fine, not having much trouble.
We are now studying on how to fin-
ish our slips.
We got the pictures of the Home
Economics girls we had taken and we
all thought them unusually good.-------GHS-------
HOME ECONOMICS II NEWS
At last most of the girls have their
dresses together. We only have one
more week in which to finish them.
Dorothy Lee is further along than
any of us. Perhaps she is the best
seamstress in the class. We plan to
have the dresses finished and have
our accessories by March 4th.
-------GHS-------
ASSEMBLY NEWS
As time goes on, no one can ever
tell what will happen next. No one
ever knows what our classes In school
can do unless they come to see our
assembly programs. Last week the
speech class put on some pantomimes
and they were really good. Minnie
Ona Brady showed us how a school
girl acts in school and how the same
girl acts at a show. Margaret Kirk
showed us how a school girl acts in
a study hall and at a Home Ec. class.
Then the group put on two plays. The
first was “The Boss Didn’t say Good
Morning.” The second was taken
from a story we had read in Liter-
ature. “I saw a Man Electrocuted.”
Come to our assembly programs and
enjoy the morning.
-------GHS-------
WE WONDER
If Benton and James are afraid of
“haunted” houses.
If everyone enjoys the snow.
If the Seniors were pleased with
their pictures.
If June’s reason for not studying
last week was because she was having
too much fun.
What Joyce and Leroy did Sunday.

Bucharest Rug Market Is
an Open Air Attraction
The most important rug market
of Bucharest, Rumania, from the
viewpoint of travelers, is not in a
shop or store at all, but in the
open air along the river front. There
large rugs are displayed to pros-
pective customers on a long clothes-
line arrangement, while smaller
ones are hung from street lamps.
The designs are both brilliant and
exotic, some of them even resem-
bling the Navajo Indian rugs sold
in America, and try as one may,
one can not find the same pattern
twice in the whole display. Most
of the work on rugs is done when
peasant farmers have nothing else
to do. Then they spin the wool and
weave it into the carpets and rugs
for which the country is famous. In
Rumania a good rug is considered
too fine to be put on the floor; in-
stead the housekeeper hangs it on
the wall as a tapestry, or uses it
as a covering for a bed or a table.
A sight both in Bucharest and in
other Rumanian cities is gypsy
bands, with trained dancing bears.
Each gypsy has his bear, and once
the animals start to perform a
crowd will gather like magic to see
the fun. Gypsies who can not get
a living in this easy fashion turn to
the making of wrought iron work.
Their work is very good, and one
may see many examples of it orna-
menting the best homes in Bucha-
. rest.Finland’s Name
The name Finland has 'nothing to
do with th® fin of a fish, as one
might be excused for thinking at
first glance. True, the country has
a long seacoast bordering on the
Baltic, but inland there are many
lakes surrounded by marshes and
connected by glistening streams
and canals. Many years ago re-
gions like this were called fens.
Thus the little country in the north-
ern part of Europe became known
as fen-land, or marsh-land, and, as
the years passed and people spoke
carelessly, its name changed to Fin-
land.
