Intermediate Room Notes The boys and girls of the intermediate room have tried to make this year one of the most successful years they have had. Our first good time was the Hallowe’en party. We all came dressed up as ghosts or witches, and played many games. Between the Holowe’en party and Christmas the room had many spelling matches, and tests in different subjects. On Christmas we had a program and invited our parents to hear it. Afterwards we had a lunch and went home for a vacation. About a month after our vacation we had some seats taken out so as to have more room. We bought a phonograph to march and exer- cise by. The parents enjoyed our exercises at the Parent-Teachers’ meeting and the children of our room have enjoyed the phonograph very much. With these enjoyments our school work has been interesting this year. MARY ELEANOR SHELTRAW.

Junior High Notes At the opening of school September 1923, twenty-four pupils wen- enrolled in the Junior High room. Three of these left us but others were enrolled, keeping the average about the same throughout the year. We did our bit in the morning exercises, the carnival and in the pro- grams for Parent-Teachers Association meetings. Marked improvement has been made in penmanship and we hope that some will be able to secure Palmer diplomas next year. The seventh grade made some very unique health posters as a project in hygiene. Hilda Zabel shows unusual ability in drawing. The eighth grade did intensive work in History, Civics, Current Topics and Agriculture. They wrote some very good essays. On the whole we can report a very successful year. MISS J. WINSLOW (Reporter).

Primary Room Notes School life in the primary room was filled with many pleasant inci- dents. For ten months thirty little boys and girls worked and played together. September:—The first activity was the building and furnishing of the store. This was enjoyed throughout the year and furnished ade- quate and interesting material for language and arithmetic. October:—Halowe’en afternoon found the Brownies and the Witches at school. The intermediate room was invited in and the games were enjoyed. November:—The story of the Pilgrims caused much enthusiasm. We ground corn into meal between two stones and dressed to represent Indians and Pilgrims. December:—The children prepared a Mother Goose program for their parents and Santa. Santa was so well pleased that he left a sack of candy for each child. January:—The children were very much interested in the life of the Esquimo. They studied them and drew pictures of the things they used. February:—The mothers, thinking they would like to spend a few hours at school, came at noon with well filled baskets and remained for the work of the afternoon. March:—We helped furnish a program for the Parent-Teachers’ meeting. April:—Anticipation of the Easter bunnies caused great excitement among the children. May:—The children were busy preparing a Mothers’ Day program. June:—We reached a fitting climax when all the youngsters came with well filled baskets for the last great event of the year. MRS. C. P.
