Fourth Grade THIS picturo shows a fourth grade class meeting being conducted by the president. Harold Abbey. The other class officers are: secretary, Bernice Hale; treasurer, Dick Faulkner and vice-president, Minnie Allen. The fourth grade class holds a meeting every two weeks on Thursday afternoon during the last period. At this time suggestions for improvement of the grade are made, formal discussions take place and necessary rules are formed. This participation in these meetings is of value educationally. It stimulates critical thinking, teaches the pupils the procedure for carrying on a formal business meeting, and gives them an opportunity to express their ideas of good class room management. New class officers are elected each quarter. Preceding officers this year for the first quarter were president, Milton Rogers: secretary, Leona Kuhn: treasurer, Maurice McCrea. and vice-president. Dick Faulkner. Those for the second quarter were: president. Beverly Lawrence: secretary. Phyllis Cowles; treasurer. Edwin Widger and vice-president, Donna Kuhn.

Fifth Grade I N this picture the students are studying a bird unit in science. The fifth grade science course sharpens one’s attention to the world of interesting things around him. There are six courses of study which includes: 1. Different ways in which plants get their food. 2. Causes of the change of seasons. 3. Substance changes. 4. The earth as a member of the solar system. 5. Changes in living things. 6. Conservation of natural resources. There have been two tadpoles, two turtles and two goldfish to observe daiiy. Occasional visits of pet rabbits help in the study of the care of pets. An interesting spring unit is bird lore. Here one studies about birds from pictures and charts, learns to know some by sight, builds bird houses and gains appreciation of nature. One of our extra-curricular activities during the year is the rivalry of the fifth and sixth grades for a health banner. The highest scorer keeps the banner. The grade which keeps it the greatest number of weeks receives a prize. The rules to observe and the points received are: head cleanliness 2, hair combed 2. clean arms 2, dean nails 5. clean ears 2, clean face 2. clean neck 2, handkerchief 5, shower 5. change underwear 5. The total for each day is 29. except Friday's score, which is 39.
