Show Friday, November 30,1928 SPORTS Bandy is indulging in a winter luxury that few towns and cities enjoy. This is a skating pond located just south of the Sandy grade school. The young people of the community are looking forward to many good times there this winter in the line of sports. We are also in hopes of a swimming pool this next summer. We obtain these luxuries through the city council and aid of the Sandy Lions Club; to all of whom we students are indeed grateful. • The Sandy Junior High has ·purchased a powerful new amplifier for the radio. This will enable us to use the radio to greater a<i!vantage for dancing. It will make the music as loud as any orchestra. We are making improvements in our radio all the time and will soon have a perfect outfit. Mr. Madsen, the woodwork teacher, is an expert electrician as well, and he and the principal, Arthur E. Peterson have the radio wiring and improvements in hand. MIDVALE JOURNAL • MIDVALE SCHOOL HAS NEW SYSTEM MULTGi\!

LAW, Boys Opportunity In Draper School .Shop The boys of the Draper High have the opportunity for a wider experience this year than has ever been possible before. In addition to projects in woodwork, which have constituted the major part of the work for the past eight years, the course will include mecha?ical drawi!l¥• rope work tin and sheet metal, cold and hot 1ron, electnc1ty, and also plumbing. Although definite provision will be made for the boys to develop some of the fundamental skills in the various trades from which the course is ab~tracted, there will be ample opportunity for projects in making articles that fill the needs of the homes of the community. Patrons are urged to make their wants known to the boys or the instructor, whether they consist of repairs, new work or home projects. The general policy of the shop is to adapt the work to meet the community needs to the greatest possible degree. J.

(Paid Advrtisement) Pupils Spend Definite Periods Each Day tn Non-Curriculum Education A platoon school, which is described as being a work-play-study school has been commenced this week in grades 4, ri and 6, of the Midvale school. If the system proves effective in these grades it will be inaugurated in the junior high department, announces E. E. Greenwood, principal. Under the platoon school curriculum each child has one laily period in the gymnasium, one in the library,_ where books other than actual study books are read, and one in an auditorum class. The latter is effective in socializing the child. Here he reads the newspapers, talks on current topIcs, and becomes accustomed to rubbing elbows with the world. In fact, the main idea of the platoon school is to make school life as much like real life as possible, so that the child on being released from the schoolroom will not find himself adrift in a strange universe. At the Midvale school the teachers keep their rooms and the children change, one instructor giving one subject,only to different groups, each period. This in itself is a time-saver. It is expected that this system, which originated some years ago in Gary, Ind., and was highly successrul there, will result in greater efficiency among teachers and pupils alike. I SOMETHING NEW IN SHOP WORK Each boy in the shop classes of the school has decided to make a "Shop Book." In this book he intended to paste pictures that he has ~athered. The pictures are to be of interest to mechanical life. One section of the book may be set aside for aircraft of different designs. During the collection and pasting the boy learns the different makes and names of the planes, he learns the advantages of each type, and instead of merly seeing "just an airplane" fiying over he can call it by make and design. · One section of the book will contain pictures of furniture. It will begin with simple furniture and develop to the expensive over-stu1fed furniture. In another section of the book pietures of houses will be pasted. Colonial houses will be grouped together. All the different types will be learned, so that summer rides tn resident dis- MIDVALE DRAMATIO THE PLATTOON SYSTEM Ines Beckstead, 6th B CLUB ORGANIZED I like the Plattoon System because I think it will help us.
