SCHOOL NOTES (Continued from page one.) The grades given out this month, in some cases are not what they might be, however, we hope that next month we will ell tfhow marked improvement. The beginning Monday morning tended toward higher grades and better workmanship. Sixth Grade. The first month of the 1939-40 school term is history. We have covered the allotted portion of the sixth grade work and have been together long enough to become well acquainted. Most of the pupils understand by this time what is to be required of them. Grades, therefore, should be stronger the second month. Looking at the record for the month, we find our enrollment standing at 34. We have had 17 days of absence this month caused by 14 different pupils. With but three exceptions, these absences were all legally excusable. The average daily attendance was 33.15 and the per cent of attendance was 97.5. The following pupils received the six highest scores in the class. Twenty-eight points represent a perfect score: 1. Donna Galloway .... 25 points 2. Jack Richards 23 “ 3. Betty Bowman .... 23 “ 4. Lowell Poiser ..... 21 “ 5. Jane Myers 21 " 6. Betty Baumgartner . 21 Jack Richards was called to Elkhart Wednesday, September 27, because of the death of his brother. > On Monday, October the 2nd, we visited the Syracuse News. The story of getting a newspaper into print was very well told and the use of the linotype machine was demonstrated. Each pupil was given a souvenir. To the management of the News, we extend our hearty thanks. Softball. Syracuse played ball again Thursday, so of course, the oppposition, which happened to be Pierceton, was defeated, the score being 4 to 3. This win cinched the northern league county championship for Syracuse as it was the sixth straight win in as many games for Dick Byrket and his mates. Atwood, who won five and lost one, was second, and Pierceton place* third, having won four to wo josses. Syracuse will play Claypool at Pierceton next Saturday, the 7th, for the championship of the county. Thursday’s game was quite exciting, featuring circuit clouts by Byrket and Plank. Pierceton was presented with all of their runs in the second innings on three walks and ah error, with a wild pitch and a passed ball mixed in. Dick settled down, however, and was tight in the pinches, making Plew pop up to him for the last out with a man on third in the * sixth, making Bixler, Rager and Robins fly out after Bennett had doubled. 6 Syracuse wasn’t so good at bat, although Plank, besides his homer, scored Byrket with the winning run on a single. Beck and Felts collaborated with singles for the other tally.

We are all glad that oar monthly tests are over, but some are dreading the first glimpse of their report card. In History we are making posttrs on “The Homes of the Early Colonists.” In music we are all getting many laughs from those in the class who act out the songs, “S*usie, Little Susie,” and “When 1 Was a Lady.” If you smell a peculiar odor on Tuesday morning, you will know it is the girls trying to bake muffins. Those absent this week were Billie Applegate, Wanita McKibben and Dale Weingart. Freshman News. Those absent from the Freshman class Thursday were Bonnie Workman, Rosemary Coy and Paul Yeager. Donald Miller was absent Monday. The freshman girls have cooking one day a week, the fourth period in the morning. The freshman boys are having mechanical drawing the first half of the year and woodwork the second half. Sophomore News. Betty Hen wood won first prize in the white batter cake class at the Warsaw fair. The home nursing girls went up to the grade building and had a lesson on bed making. No Joke —when a pupil makes a mistake, it is a mistake; bet when a teacher makes a mistake, it is an error of judgement. Grade cards this week. Junior News. The junior class has really been busy the past week-end. Quite a few of us attended the Syracuse-Pierceton game and anxiously bit fingernails, politely pounded our neighbors, and proudly watched good old S. H. S. come out on top again. Good work, team! We knew all the time you could do it, and the best of luck to you in the next ones. The class also had a good representation in the school parade at Warsaw, Friday, and everyone had a swell time afterwards, too, as long as the money lasted. The agriculture boys are planning to have a corn husking contest "Wednesday at the home of Charles and William Miller, And wouldn’t we like to In history class Robert Disher was asked to explain the Colonial “courting stick”; and as Robert’s face became several different colors at once, Lamont Bell, our bashful class mate, said, “Shucks, Mr. Neff, how would we know?” —but Ruth Rarig promptly supplied Mr. Neff’s question with the correct answer. You see, she says she knows. Martha Hibschman was absent all last week because of her attendance at the fair. Martha and Betty Henwood won several prizes in their 4-H exhibits. Congratulations! Opportunity Room. We have been getting a radio program from “WLS” each day at 1 o’clock entitled “School Time,” which we are enjoying very mucn.
