Grade News, Gont'd played neat and perfect geography and reading papers. There have been sections for book covers, newspaper clippings and science material. 4-I Grade 4 Marian Henes Reading stories starts off the column for this grade. This class has read stories such as Mary had a little lamb, and others from their readers. After they have completed their readings they draw illustrations which made the project as a whole much more interesting. Among the artists of this class there were Gladys Teachout, Raymond Thomas and Charles Strail. By the means of colored chalk these talented youngsters made posters, and what nice posters they were. One was desert scene, and the other was a Norway scene. They have also made flower posters by taking pieces of paper, cutting them to the right size and shape and pasting them on for the flower. Another project they have made are booklets, a milk booklet, and a cereal booklet. For Valen- tine's Day and Mothers' Day they contributed lovely little books all covered with many different but attractive colors. As a whole this class has many talented young- sters and probably will carry on more projects just as interesting. 4-Z Grade - Elizabeth Gere The children of this grade are deeply interested in bird life. They made a collection of bird nest and pictures of these birds. Clever little bird houses were made out of ice-cream boxes. For their English work they had a class news- paper and for geography they made a movie of Egypt. Helen Klink and Crandall Melvin were main reporters for the clever newspaper. 5 -I Grade - Rose Henderson The study of history has been made real simple and interesting for the pupils of the 5-1 grade. Pictures of people in the Middle Ages have been posted on the bulletin board showing their way of dressing and their characteristics. A story is written to describe each picture. Edu- cational and interesting stories were written by William Coville and Mary Baxter. The making of Viking boats is another topic that has been taken up in this grade. Posters were made showing the various ways the ships were built. 5-2 Grade - Bessie Bresney Geography work has been done enthusiastic- ally by the iifth grade students. Maps of the Central and Western states were drawn and the national parks were pointed out. They made a general study of all the national parks and used the various names as topics for English composi- tions. A spelling chart is kept for perfect recitations and there are very few places where a star cannot be seen. Lois Kurtz and Joyce Carhart have been doing very hne work in spelling this year. 6-I Grade - Dorothy Pease Safety has been stressed heavily upon the minds of these six-one students. All around the room can be seen posters and booklets showing pictures of careless children. The bulletin board is always covered with pictures and clippings of people who have had a serious accident through carelessness. The children also made booklets with a cover in the shape of a map. Inside the booklet was written a short story about the country of which the map was drawn. Audrey Parsons and jack Vanderpool were among the many who received good marks for their work in this particular project. 6-2 Grade - Ellen Hyland For the last six months the children of this class have done quite a bit of work in art. Around the room they have displayed a weather chart for each day in April and hand-drawn maps of the various European countries. Also, can be seen mounted pictures of children dressed in their native costumes and an extensive exhibit of Snow VVhite, the seven dwarfs and scenes from the film. A VVho's Who book was made by this class. Each pupil wrote his autobiography and they were all put into one large book. Carol Kies, Ethel Dudde and Robert Kraushaar wrote very interesting autobiographies. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Geography F- Ann Young The 7-1 geography class studies the units on climate, grazing forests, fishing and hunting and the mathematical section. Each section presents the subject matter from a world point of view. For instance, the unit on forests takes up the chief forest areas in the world, the nations which own these areas, the forest regions of the United States, the kinds of forests, conditions favoring forest growth, results of forest destruction, forest products and their uses, the importance of con- servation and reforestation. A few of the honor students in this grade are Jean Denny, Philip Daucher, and Betty Morrissey. Page Twenty-five

Grade News Kindergarten - Mabel Price The art class of the high school presented the Kindergarten with a poster called The March of Time. They made free hand drawings of this poster and then told stories about the pic- tures. When the weather is nice the children play games out-doors. The favorite game is one played with the traffic light. Many posters have been made illustrating the various traffic rules and regulations. 1-I Grade - Helen Lang Two classes, sixteen small people, have started their formal work on the twelve year journey through our schools. Both classes finished four primers and pre- primer. Each child has read also at least one library book. Some have read four. Anita Kingsley and William Sponenberg are excellent readers. Besides the reading a start was made in arith- metic, phonics, writing, music, health, safety, English and drawing. Drawing is a favorite subject. The longest free hand project was 'fThe Zoo. Robert Mahle and Wesley Browning are some of the fine artists. Game time was made happy by folk-dancing, games and story plays. The busy year was interrupted somewhat by illness but the close of the year finds all well and looking forward to a joyous vacation. I-Z Grade - Florence Whilcomb During the term this grade has accomplished quite a bit of work. They have made three posters, Clj a poster of fall, QZD a poster of Christ- mas, and Q31 a poster of winter sports. They have read many stories and illustrated each with their drawings. Their nicest project for the year was their community project. This proved to be both interesting and educational. This dealed with safety at home, school, and on the street. It showed danger signs, and dangerous corners. This as a whole broadened the pupil's minds dealing with safety which every child should have at least a small knowledge of. The two pupils who did quite a bit of work on the project were Carolyn Hefti and Raymond Sobotka. 2-1 Grade - Mildred Anles Arithmetic seems to be one of the main routines of this class. They have been adding and subtracting. Beverly seems to be the Page Twenty-four mathematician of the class. This grade has read books about pets, wrote stories and had quite a time telling about their pets and things that interest them most, whether it was dog, cat, or any other animal. They have drawn health posters on drinking milk, playing outdoors, and safety as a whole. These children have certainly worked hard putting out these entertaining posters and they are Very nicely done. Z-Z Grade - Esther Tooley This term the second grade has had an Indian project. They read several Indian stories learn- ing from them many customs and traits of the Indians. From the reading most of the children received a greater feeling of kindness toward the red race. They learned the meaning of many of the signs used by the Indians in their writing. It was with delight that the children put symbols on the tepees they made because they knew the meaning of them. The climax of their project came on the day of exhibit when every boy and girl became a make- believe Indian, with their Indian head-dress, name and paint. They greeted visitors and showed them their room. Polly Prine and Rolin Klink were very much interested in this work. 3-1 Grade - Bessie Roach The children were taught how to make chalk drawings and were very proud of their work. They should be because this is the first year this type of drawing has been taught in the three-one. They were also introduced to new geography and English books. Shirley Beahan and William Jacobi got a great deal from these new books. The drawings for their farm life, animal life, vegetable and fruit booklets are entirely free- hand. No patterns were used for any of this work. 3-Z Grade - Andrey Stevens Making up exhibits seems to be the past-time for these students. Their first attempt was about water transportation. Samples were shown from the simple log to the great steam-liners we have today. The next attempt was more successful than the first. They brought samples of building materials such as wood, cement, asbestos, and stone. A general study of birds was made and a bird chart and paintings were made. George Sch- reiner and Betty Lou Alvord were the most en- thusiastic pupils in this work.

junior High School, Cont'd In the 7-2, farm lands of the world,mining, manufacturing, trade, and transportation, dis- tribution of populations, and nations and depen- dencies are given a thorough study. Review of the entire subject matter for both grades is then given in preparation of regents which is taken at the completion of the 7-2 work. Frederick Bobenhausen, Lois Lenhart, and Rich- ard Heagle are among the many who are looking forward to the regents. Arithmetic - Cecil Hamlin The 7-1 children are very busy preparing for the june examinations. They are making a com- plete review of arithmetic from the third grade up to their present standings. Along with the 7-1 comes the 7-2. They are reviewing arithmetic too, for in june comes the tests which determines whether or not they will be eligible for the 8-1 grade when they return in September. On the board in the 7-2 room can be seen geometric designs which were made by some of the pupils in her room. They were very attrac- tive and very well done. Donald Hall and Mar- ilyn Meyer seemed to enjoy this work more than the other pupils. English - Margaret Klotz The English classes of the upper grades have studied somewhat the same courses of study as previous classes, although we may say it has had a new attire. Compositiin has been dressed with courtesy lessons, telephone conversations, introduction of speakers and letter writing. The grammar lessons were masqueraded to some extent in paragraph writing, while the oral english was paragraph writing, while the oral English was clothed in news items, accounts of radio pro- activities. Part of the literature reading was dressed in modern fashion with the works of recent and living writers. But the classic style of those armored knights was not forgotten. The outside reading was allowed to saunter forth in any attire most fitting to its reader. The required memory passages were dressed in partiotism, thought and beauty. History - Dorothy Meek The 7-1 students have been studying about the old colonial policy of Great Britain and the triumph of democracy. They also followed the path that went from the early struggle against disunion to the birth of a reunited nation. The 7-2 class made a thorough study of the social and industrial development of the United States and also about the Civil War. Problems of reconstruction situations that made the U. S. a world power and its responsi- bilities as a world power caused many worries for these 8-1 students. A complete review of 7th and Sth grade history is being made so as to prepare the 8-2 students for their coming regents in june.
