FIRST GRADE On September 3, 1940, twenty-one boys and girls filed into Grade One to be initiated into school life. It meant making adjustments to countless new situations, but when those adjustments were made they soon found this new life far different and exciting than their little minds had even imagined. The thrill of being able to do things for themselves and of mastering the small things, was further enhanced by the thrill of anticipating, as well as experiencing, those special days-holidays-as important as any-birth- days of one another. Soon came the end of their first school year and next will find them striving just as earnestly to master the goals set up for them to attain in Grade Two, carrying with them the unforget- table memories of their first year. SECOND GRADE What could be nicer than twenty-seven boys and girls in the Second Grade for the school year 1940-41? We have had many good times working together on our school projects such as the collecting of leaves in the fall, the making of Christmas gifts for our parents, the collecting of bird pictures in the spring and the making of booklets which we will display at the Paulding County Fair. Too, we must not forget the fun we had celebrating our birthdays and the parties we had on Hallowe'en, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES The long-looked-for day had arrived at last! Twenty-seven third grade boys and girls, with fourteen fourth graders hurried to school. They were eager to greet friends, see the new teacher and try the feel of the new room. Everyone went to work with a will and before we realized it Hallowe'cn slipped up on us with its ghosts, pumpkin faces, and catcall. Then came Thanksgiving and Christmas. For our share in the Christmas program we made a Living Christmas Tree. Soon after Christmas came mid-year exams, We felt very grown-up, because we had never before had real exams. Some time later we gave a play for the Institute. Now. we are looking forward to the last day picnic, promotion cards, and summer va- cation. FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES There were thirty-six in our room this year. We have had an enjoyable time with special projects in geography and history, painting, and soap-carving. Those who received perfect spelling scores for a period of six weeks were given pencils. The pupils most frequently on the honor roll during the year were Laura Grimes, Dick Stover, Ned Sharp and Elizabeth Rees. SIXTH GRADE In September. at the opening of school twenty eager boys and girls found seats in the sixth grade room where they were to work and play together for nine months. Nine months seemed a long time then, but looking back now the period seems all too short and we can hardly realize that soon we will be enjoying summer vacation. During this term we have taken hikes, made nature books, helped with the fall music festival and started a safety patrol in addition to learning our regular lessons. We especially liked our spelling contests this year. Each six weeks we chose sides and on each Friday we averaged the spelling grades for each side. At the end of the period we averaged the averages and the losing side prepared and gave a program for the winning side. The contests have been close and we have had lots of fun. Now we are thinking of next year when we will be seventh graders and in high school. Page Twenty-seven
