Our calendar of social events began with the Halloween fun when first grabs girls and boys became beggars, witches■, clowns and the like Next came Thanksgiving with its good things to eat followed by Christmas and all its wonderment The toys were hardly off the tree, yet thoughts of St Valentine-s Day were already great anticipations. Then the Easter Bunny came, bringing with him the plane for their summers-wading, gardening, and most of all, playing. These were interrupted by birthday now and then along with the many new things,, they were so eager and willing to learn so that they would be able to take their places as capable, wide-awake Second Grade Pupils. GRADE II Ghosts, clowns, witches and many other characters were seen at our Halloween party. There was fun for all, especially during our parade through the High School. Yes, Santa Claus came to our room, too. All the gifts under the gayly lighted tree made many boys and girls happy. Our mothers, sisters, and brothers came to our Christmas party. We didn t let Valentine ' s Day pass by either. We just celebrated the occasion with a pretty Valentine Box filled to the top. Then came all the fun and laughter at our Easter party. The Easter Bunny didn ' t miss us. Instead he hid our eggs all around the room. Throughout the school year many of our boys and girls celebrated their birthdays with us. All this tended to make our Second year in school a memorable one GRADES III IV On October 30, 1939 we dressed in all sorts of weird costumes and joined the parade. After the parade we cmme back to our room and had apples, popcorn and all kinds of candy. On December 23, 1938 a high degree of excitement prevailed in our room. This seemed to die down, a little, when Santa Claus delivered a package to each one, also candy. We ' were so glad for all of the parents who came to see the fun. February 14, 1939 was another exciting day. After the mail- carriers had delivered all of the ' small, intriguing looking envelopes every one went home with a satisfied feeling.
