Be- sides their usual study of reading, writing, and Arithmetic, they have had many outside activities. They studied about all different countries of the world.

From Birming- ham, Alabama they received a miniture statue of the Vulcan,one of the largest statues in the world. Also a sample of cotton from the seed stage until it was in blossom. There was also a sample of steel and iron. First there was the raw material and then n piece of the finished product. The fourth grade pupils learned to do the minuet and they presented it at a P. T. A. meeting and then Boone asked them to come down to their school and present this dance for one of their assemblies.

One who can let the World go by, And suffer not s m1nute's psngg Wnofd dare to shock propriety With me, and never care a hang. One who can share my grief or mirth, And know my days to praise or curseg And rate me just for what Ifm worth, And find me still, Oh, not so worse! Give me one friend, for peace or wer, And I shall hold myself well blest, And richly compensated for the cussedness of all the rest. Esther M. Clark. Grade Review 6Gon'tJ In the room of these pupils you wlllfind a small library. The children them- selves hsve brought the books for the library and some have been loaned by people in the community. During the year the fifth and sixth graders took time ouh.of school and wrote a complete history on Pueblo County. For Arbor Day the room donated a Honeysuckle vine for the school grounds. The thing that we can thank them for most is the cleaning up of the school grounds about five or six times during the year. One time they cleaned all the wnythrough the church yard. NOW! EFX? If yeu have hard work to do, Do no WI Today the skies are clear and blue, Do it now. Tomorrow clouds may come in ' view Yesterday is not for youg Do it now. gf If you have a song to sing, Sing it now. Let the notes of gladness ring Clear as song of bird in Spring Let every day some music brrhgg Sing it now. ' ,,,Anon.
