May 19, 1927 English Test English pupils of Collins High School, under direction of Miss Shomler, last week completed the second test on English Essentials, prepared and administered by the Iowa association of Teachers of English in cooperation with the University of Iowa. Eighth grade pupils also took this test for experimental purposes.
It will be remembered that Collins High pupils were state champions in both tests last year.
May 26, 1927 School Exhibit Pleased Public The annual exhibit held at the Collins school last Friday afternoon and evening drew a good number of visitors, although the weather kept many from attending. There is much that might be said about this interesting and instructive exhibit. It should be said, however, that much credit is due both instructors and pupils fore the skill manifested in the various exhibits.
The home economics department, Miss Irma Garner instructor, had an elaborate exhibit, including examples of sewing, cooking and fruit and vegetable canning. An outstanding part of this exhibit was the House of Health, a miniature home constructed of various kinds of health foods – with vegetable shrubberies and other unique features. In addition to the regular work of this department, there was a display of antiques that would be interesting in any museum. This display, gathered from many people of the community, included such articles as two century-old china, pictures, dresses of our great grandmothers’ time, lanterns, lamps and any number of other interesting objects.
The manual training department, Supt. J. E. Hollingsworth instructor, exhibited a display of shop work that would be a credit to many woodworking shops, including a wagon box, cedar and walnut chests, office desks, etc.
In the Junior High school department, of which Miss Clara Signs is the head, the exhibit consisted of maps, posters, booklets, etc., that were extremely well done.
Art work throughout the various exhibits was the work of pupils of Miss Mabel Cairns, and showed the result of painstaking care and skill.
