20 THE CLIFTONIAN Grade at a costume Hallowe’en party. This party, which is held each year, is greatly enjoyed by all the children. In November, Children’s Book Week was observed by having an exhibit of choice books and of posters relating to them. Miss LsGrand, school librarian, gave us a talk on the proper care of books. Christmas was a happy occasion, with a lighted tree, carols and gifts. On February twelfth, Lincoln’s Birthday was celebrated by having a joint program with Second Grade. At its close a new Lincoln penny was given each child, and our Lincoln Song sung: “A penny is not much, I hear, Yet children hold it very dear, For looking from, it kind and clear, Is Lincoln’s face.” In April, our great interest in airplanes took the form of an exhibit. Models were made by the children and a hangar built. The entire school was invited to see this show. The First Grade Orchestra has practiced each Friday afternoon and several concerts have been given. Worthy of especial mention is Rodney Dusinberre’s performance on tne jew’s harp, Audrey Snell's on the tambourine and Paul Macomber’s skill with the guitar. In May an epidemic of measles left our ranks in a very depleted state. Twenty-four children were absent at one time. However, under Miss Mon-teau’s watchful care, we hope to have all the children here for closing exercises and for the annual Field Day given by the Parent-Teacher Association, which is the final festivity of the school year. SECOND GRADE Eighteen boys and eleven girls were registered in Second Grade. This Spring the children have learned to identify several kinds of birds from observation and from stories in the Burgess Bird Book. The chimney of the old building made a very attractive place for chimney swifts. So many children in the group were especially fond of music, they have learned about forty songs and they also have two whistling choruses. The loss of the playground was made up for by the fun of converting the branch piles in the back yard into Indian wigwams and log cabins, where many an Indian raid was staged. L. BISHOP. THIRD GRADE There are twenty-four pupils in the Third Grade. Twenty-three of these are saving money in the school banking system. The study which these boys and girls have enjoyed most is Geography. By means of slides they have learned how people live in other parts of the world. During April they studied transportation and when they had finished the subject, they invited the Seventh Grade to see their slides and hear what they had learned. Efforts were made by all the pupils to win the Palmer Method buttons. Twelve papers were sent to the Palmer Company and the children are now awaiting the awards. One of the chief social events of the year was the Christmas party, shared with the Fourth Grade. On St. Valentine’s Day they had a Valentine Box and were served with refreshments afterward. One afternoon they were pleasantly surprised when one of the girls brought a fine, large cake to share in celebrating her birthday. The pupils also found much pleasure in making posters for the P. T. A. bake sale and in doing whatever else they could to make it a success. Recently they have made booklets for the reading table in the First Grade room. L. COWLEY. FOURTH GRADE The social activities in Grade 4 have consisted of three parties, a Valentine. Christmas and Easter party, each in turn greatly enjoyed. We worked in conjunction with Grades 1, 2 and 3 for a bake sale for the benefit of the P. T. A. Under Miss Mon-
