PRIMARY NEWS Another school year is almost a thing of the past and everyone in the primary room is ready for a long, happy summer vacation. Reviewing the school year of 1954 and ’55 brings to mind the high points and outstand- ing events of the year. A few of them are the Halloween party, when everyone had fun with games, refreshments and visits to the other classrooms wearing masks made by each child and return visits by the upper classes in Halloween costumes. The primary group was well escorted by a small witch. Then there was the Christmas Carol Pageant, in which the first eight grades took part. Another event was the Valentine party with the pupils of the third and fourth grades as guests entertained with games and refreshments. Next, an operetta put on by the Elementary grades and the Junior High. Then. last, but most important to the First and Second graders, the annual Mothers’ Day Tea. given for the mothers of the primary children. The students entertained their mothers with a short program followed by re- freshments which the children served and then each child presented his or her mother with flowers. The students and teacher are ending this year with a feeling of work well done and wish everyone a “happy vacation.”

THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES As the school year of 1954-1955 began, nineteen pupils enrolled in our room. At the end of the first six weeks two children moved to other communities, and we finished our year with the seventeen enthusiastic pupils shown in the above picture. As we review the year’s events together, we decided unanimously that the biggest event of the year was the acquisition of a piano in our room. Many happy hours were spent around this piano the remaining months of school. The highlights in entertainment were the Halloween party, the Christmas program and gift exchange, a Valentine party, the school operetta, and Easter party, and the picnic the last day of school.
