SCHOOL NEWS
EIGHTH GRADE
The biggest news from the 8th
grade room is the high rate of
absentees from this class due to
the Flu Bug going around town.
Through the week the average of
seven students out of the 24 re
mained at home.
Nine students had perfect at
tendance during the last six-week
period. They were Catherine Am
arok, Chuckie Fagerstrom, Paul
Glavinovich, Madeline Mogg, Ar
lene Muller, Larry Oscarson,
Helen Sahlin, Stanley Senunge
tuk and Willy Willoya.
A little friction remains with
the boys in the room due to the
close competition between the
Kangaroos and Whizkids basket
ball teams. The latter has been
beaten three straight times by the
Kangas team.
The class has just finished fight
ing the Spanish-American War
over in history and has reviewed
how the United States acquired
its possessions of today.
For entertainment, the 8th grad
ers are planning a little party to
celebrate the Valentine season,
which is coming up next month.
HIGH SCHOOL
Both English classes have been
writing letters to Arlene Hawk
and Helen Marie Glavinovich to
bring them up on the activities of
school and to let them know we
miss them.

first classes to choose stone set
tings for their rings.
