.,-Q-0-Q-Q them to the teacher. Then on Fridays these stories were read to the group instead of having our regular reading class. In our arithmetic class We have used My Work Book in Arithmetic, by Myers. The first of the book took up simple number work with pictures to draw and color. Then came the addition combinations With thought problems and tests. These were followed by the subtraction combinations with their thought problems and tests. To go with our books each had a complete set of cards for both the addition and subtraction facts. Be- sides the work covered in the arithmetic work books we have learned to add, using the carry , to multiply by 2's and 3's, and also to divide by 2's and 3's. The work in mul- tiplication was preceeded by counting as far as 100 by both 2's and 3's. We have also learned the Roman numerals to 50, which was followed by learning to tell the time of day. Along with our music work we organized a toy orchestra, so that we might learn a little about rhythm work. First we kept time to music played by the victrola. by clapping and marching. Later the children brought whatever toy instru- ments they had at home. With these we kept time to music played by the victrola. Homer Reeder, James Hatton, Billy Dudgeon, Olive Goldie Cline played the drumsg Helen Scannell, Lois Jane Parsons, Beulah Hynes and Susie Turoci played tam- bourinesg Carl Pancost, Lucile Duff, Kathryn Hatton and Lyle McCormick played xylo- phonesg Claudine Luce, Lucille Fletcher played hornsg Barbara Luseberg, Beulah Carr, Lewis Fitch, William Smith and Carl Nelson played whistlesg Lois Butler played bellsg Marion French played the triangle, and Wayne Sawtelle played the fiexotone. Olaf Maki was the leader. We played sev- eral times for the first, third and fourth grades. After this work we took up some simple folk dances, such as I See You, Danish Greeting and The Shoemaker's Dance. We also learned a little rhythm play for Dick- ery, Dickery Dock. The Chi1dren's Polka and The Mountain March will complete this work. Our art work has been quite varied. We have colored many pictures, which included safety pictures, scenes, pictures for the holi- days and pictures of birds. Then We have had paper tearing and cutting of nursery rhymes, trees, also poster making, cutting of letters, cutting of fruits, vegetables and -Q-04-O-Q-004-0-0-40-Q-0-o44Q644Q466-960 O0 flowers. Weaving helped us to learn to meas- ure, for both the mats and the strips had to be measured accurately. Then followed the weaving of the mats in some design. Most of these were woven from dictation. We made butterfiy, squirrel and cat mats, besides some of other designs. Each month we made ap- propriate spelling books and blackboard bor- ders. In January we made Eskimo books which greatly helped us to understand more about the life of the Eskimos. At Christmas time we made doilies for our mothers and decorated handkerchief boxes for our fath- ers. For Mother's Day each of us made a pink and a white carnation. These We put in decorated cans for our mothers. This year our playground has been equipped with a sandpile. It certainly has been a source of great pleasure for us. Our janitor, Mr. Bissell, has also made some new teeterboards for us. Of course we enjoy them, too. As part of the entertainment for Educa- tion Week the second grade read and drama- tized a story from the Beacon Introductory Second Reader. This story was read and played as we would in our own room. Dur- ing Farmer's Institute we gave a demonstra- tion of organized play on the gymnasium floor. We played a relay race with bean bags. This race was followed by two games with the basketball. Then as a last game we played Follow the Leader. Several times we had the banner for the cleanest room for the week. Each time we were entitled to an extra half-hour play period. We had several of these in the manual training room and in the gymnasium. Then we saved two and took a little field trip back of the new cemetery for pussy willows. We found a few pussy willows and everyone had a handful of wintergreens. We had a very enjoyable trip. Lois Jane Parson and Susie Turoci cele- brated their birthdays in school with birth- day parties. They each brought their cakes and candles were put on and lighted. Every- one greatly enjoyed the parties. Lona Miller, Teacher.

Besides these has been quite a rivalry between the boys and girls to see which could have the least number missing words. The Fourth Grade can feel proud of themselves to know that there are no fail- ures. Hazel Roberts. O THIRD GRADE NEWS The following pupils have not been late or absent during the month of May: Howard Barnes, Kenneth Cook, Marietta Fitts, Ruth Hazelton, Ruth Inman, Vieno Maki, Claire Miller, Wade Miner, Donald Peck, Florence Peck, Charles Peebles, William Simons, Doris Simons, Clarabel Snyder, Blanche Ward and Hiram Waters. Blanche Ward is the only one in the third grade who has had a perfect attendance the entire year. Miss Roberts has had charge of the writ- ing this year. Pen and ink have been used most of the time and fine results have been obtained. As we think back to the beginning of our third year's work a great improvement can be seen in our reading. The readers we have read are Beacon Second Reader, Beacon Third Reader, New American Reader, Elson Reader, Winston Silent Reader and Beacon Fourth Reader. Many of the stories have been dramatized, encouraging self-expres- sion. The first fifteen minutes of each after- noon are given over to the reading of a chap- ter from some books chosen by the boys and girls. Nine of the Bobbsey Twin books have been read. The children having the six highest grades for the year are Marietta Fitts, Vieno Maki, Ruth Hazelton, Burdetta Beebe, Her- man Karr and Claire Miller. A project was worked out in connection with our drawing work. National Biscuit boxes were gotten from the stores and one side and windows cut out, thus making lovely doll houses. The walls were papered, rugs put on the floor, curtains hung at the win- dows and furniture constructed and placed in the room. Bedrooms, living rooms, kitch- ens and dining rooms were made, each child bringing out some harmonious color combi- nations, also work in arranging furniture. National Music Week, which is the week of May 6, is being observed in the third grade. The pupils who can play or sing some little pieces are going to give their class- mates a program Friday, May 11. Arleen Leonard, Alice Corey, Goldie Van Dusen and Keith Russell were enrolled in our grade for a part of the year, but moved to other schools. All the multiplication tables have been learned in our arithmetic work throughout the year. Other new work taken up has been the multiplying of numbers with numbers carried over, subtraction involving borrow- ing and division with numbers remaining to be carried over. The work book used this year has made the arithmetic work very in- teresting, the thought problems being about the things children are interested in and are told in story form. Health scrapbooks were made a few months ago. Pictures were collected per- taining to health and health rules. Good food, exercise and fresh air, proper care of the body and cleanliness were some of the lessons taught. Our room is planning a picnic for the last day of school, if the weather permits. Faye Perry. 0 SECOND GRADE NEWS The second grade total enrollment for the year is 44-22 girls and 22 boys. At the end of the year we have 39-21 boys and 18 girls.

An attractive addition has been made to the playground this year-a large sandpile of several tons of sand, and some new teeter- boards. We wish to thank Mr. Bissell, thc janitor, for seeing to these improvements. oo-0-0000-vo-0 0-Q-Q4-Q4-9-00444-ro-vo-o-Q-0-vo44-Q+Q+o eo-o+q44+Q -o-0+-o++o-Q-A Q There has been an average number of 17 boys and girls who carried their lunches to school this winter. The majority of these pupils brought milk to drink with their lunches. The use of straws greatly increased this number. Among the projects that we carried out this year were a dry goods store, Eskimo picture show, shadow plays, several sand table projects and a village constructed mainly from construction paper. The health work for the year has cen- tered around the ten main rules of health. These rules have been brought before the children by the use of stories, plays, posters, health books made by the children, daily in- spection and health charts which were taken home, marked and brought back to school.

Martin of the Andover school began to cash in on his plans for a school band, by receiv- ing the backing of the school board and the aid of the community. They were able to secure the services of Mr. George E. Wahl- strom, the director of music in Ashtabula Harbor school. . The high school band was first made up of our whole music class, including stringed and wind instruments. This group made one public appearance during the first year. O-0-0-O-O-0 The following fall in '27 Director George E. Wahlstrom was unable to resume his classes here. He recommended Mr. Chas. Luoma of Warren, Ohio, who has had chargc of the instrumental music classes this year. Mr. Luoma has made great progress with his pupils and has enabled them to render several public appearances, which met with very favorable comment. Our uniforms were selected by a commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce. The uni- forms consisted of circular capes with mili- ffloncluded on Page 163 O-O-OC PAGE 14
