Oral fiction book reprts, being
sponsored in Mrs. Ruth Carter’s
English classes ^re meeting with
great success.
Attempting to get away from
long, written book reports, Mrs.
Ruth Carter is conducting oral
reports on all fiction books. In
stead of writing a summary of
the chosen reading, the students
are now required to give a three-
minute talk on their book. This
verbal discussion is also accom
panied by a constructive project.
These projects range from pos
ters and paintings to carvings,
boklets and minitufe newspapers.
Mrs. Carter states that this
new venture has met with great
success, pointing out that most
English students would prefer
this type of work to a regular
written theme on the book.
Samples of the splendid work
accomplished by these students
may be seen in the library
where it is now on display.
For replacing old and worn
dictionaries in the English Classes
new dictionaries have benedldlur
chased by the school.
The dictionaries recently re
ceived were the Macmillan Mo
dern Dictionary, the Webster
Student Dictionary and the Win
ston Simplified Dictionary.
Three contestants are making
pi’eparations for the annual
League of Nations’ examination
which will take place sometime
in April, the date to be announ
ced later.
For the past weeks, the fol
lowing students have been tak
ing part in a spcial class, the
purpose of which is prepartion
for the contest. They are: Kath
ryn Allen, Amy Lou Holmes,
and Akers Hutchens.
The purpose of the examina
tion is to further students’ in
terests in the different peace or
ganizations of the world and
their methods. The League of
Nations is the most important
of these organizations.
The student in the United
Stotes submitting the best paper
will be given an all-expense trip
to Europe as first prize. The
second prize will be $25. There
will be 26 additional prizes of $5
each.
