Q.  Can can I have static and non-static in the same class?

A.  If a class is all non-static use "class"

class MyClass {
	def method1() {
	}
}

If a class is all static use "object"

object MyClass {
	def function1() {
	}
}

If you want to have both use object and class together with the same
name.  This called a companion object:

object MyClass {
	var myStaticVar: Int = 9;

	def function1() {
	}
}

class MyClass {
	var myVar: Int;

	def method1() {
		// Call the static thing
		MyClass.function1();
	}
}
