GRADES HE Elementary grades provide a foundation for the work of the high school. However, they do more than this. Realizing that some of the pupils who start out in the first grade do not remain to graduate from high school brings on an added responsibility to the elementary grades. Their program must provide a basic training in the main fields of knowl- edge as well as laying a solid foundation for citizenship, especially for the benefit of those who will discontinue their formal education before graduating from high school. Reading, arithmetic, English, spelling and social studies are major subjects taken up at the different grade levels. Science, health, music, art and writing round out the program. Special emphasis this year has been placed on handwriting. Both teachers and pupils have received instruction in handwriting through the Peterson School of Penmanship. Most of the grades received recognition of being up to standard in their writing. Beginners in the first grade were aptly guided by Miss Hart and Mrs. Ives. A sand-table was the center of attraction in Mrs. Ives' room and both rooms greatly enjoyed their pianos. At the beginning of the year we found Miss Gif- ford and Miss Wood greeting the second-graders. The third grade pupils were under the leadership of Miss Alday and Miss Gibbs. This class along with the fourth grade under the supervision of Mrs. Carlson, prepared and presented an operetta for the annual assembly program. The fourth graders also completed a project of an imaginary trip to Switzerland. Customs and movies of the Swiss people seemed to interest the children greatly. The fifth graders were guided by Mrs. Damcott, and their main project was a large mural on West- ward Transportation. Searching for material and painting the pictures in tempra paints made the fifth graders' year active. The last class in the Clymer grade school was the sixth grade and was led by Mrs. Rouse. After completing these six years the staff of Clymer Central School feels that the pupils of the surrounding community are suificiently prepared to enter junior and senior high school. 16
