One Friday morning recently Mimi gave a Pro fessor Quizz program. There were four contestant, David Bovildin, Thomas Henderson, Olive Keener, and Miriam Pleasants. The questions asked were based on Latin, English, and civics. Each contestant had four questions and out of a possible score of four hundred came David Bouldin with a score of three hundred. His prize was fifteen cents and into second place with a score of three hundred came Thomas Plenderson whose reward was ten cents. All the contestants made good scores. When Mimi announced the prizes and presented the change, oh’s and ah’s were heard and several re marked with one accord: “Why didn’t cha let me in on it?” Room 204 is having a contest be tween the boys and girls for at tendance. So far the girls have had only two absences against the boys’ three. Look out, boys, you may have to throw us a party. —Martha Williams. Room 203 extends a hearty wel come to Herbert Glenn, who comes to us from the Charlotte schools. ENMEO Sro IN KO Mexico and all its wonders were visited last summer by Byron Grandjean, who has just recently returned. When vacation was al most over and Byron was to leave tor High Point, his brother fell ill with scarlet fever, so the jour ney was postponed. While Byron was in Mexico he saw a huge pyramid which was built by the Aztec Indians who lived in Mexico long before white men ever set foot upon it. This pyramid, "El Pyrmide del Sol,” in Spanish, when translated means “The Pyramid of the Sun,” has been the subject of many scien tists who are trying to find records of the Aztecs. A picture of this pyramid is on one of the Mexican stamps. “Floating Gardens” and its beau tiful variety of flowers intermingled with canals was paid a visit by Byron. The gardens float but a few inches each year. On some of the canals small huts are built. The natives who own these huts gather and use for food a plant that is like cabbage or mustard called cress. Last but not least comes the Nuns’ secret convent. The Nuns’ religion Was considered unlawful so they had to build this convent. The secret of the convent was guarded well and not until recently was it discovered. There were so many trap doors, secret rooms, and dark passages that it seemed that it would scare the Nuns that lived there when it was still unknown. After Byron has told us of the many things he saw and did, we also would like to visit our “south ern neighbors.” We thank Byron for relating his adventures and heartily welcome him back to Junior High. —Edward Knight.

They say they’re going to show the boys a thing or two about stunts. I'uesday afternoon we visited the police station to get information regarding a contract in civics. We asked Mr. W. B. Ridge, the desk sergeant, some questions. While he typed them for us we went down stairs to the Bureau of Investiga tion, where we got information from Mr. McMahon regarding criminals and their records. While we were there Mr. McMahon took our finger prints and pictures. This was very interesting. He showed us some molds of fingers. One of these was a copy of a dead woman who had never been identified. Under the hand lens you could see the pores and the lines in her finger, and you could see where her nails had been bitten. Then he showed us a copy of one of Mr. Williams, who is a detective. Next we visited the science laboratory, where they bring out finger and foot prints with chem icals. An example of a finger print that they had brought out was on a bottle of blueing. We saw this through the microscope. It was very clear. We enjoyed our trip to the police station very much. —Mary Allan Hayes and Frances Turner. Full- Fashion Silk Hose First Quality GRAND VALUE Chiffons and service weights.
