GRADE SCHOQL The later elementary grades of Vassar Public Schools have been unusually busy during the past year in activities both in the class room and out. The sixth grade, in addition to its regular class work has been unusually interested in musical activities. Nine members of the class are in the Senior Band and twenty members in the Grade Band. The members have been very active in service to others. A box social was held, the proceeds of which were canteributed to a fund for crippled children. The class also contributed a Thanksgiving box to the same cause. The fifth and sixth overflow room has been busy this year. A number of activities in which real life conditions are 'set forth has been the theme for the year. The fifth grade has been unusually busy in correlating playlets, songs and recitations with the regular class work. A number of social parties have also been sponsored. The third and fourth grades have planned their work to include programs in honor of important national holidays. i During the year ten Grade Assembly Programs are provided for all the grade pupils and their parents, each grade room presenting one Assembly. Through these assembly programs the grade children de- velop poise and confidence which may help them to serve as better future citizens cf the Community. One of the most outstand'n0: events of the year in which all the grades participated was the Marble Tournament, sponsored by the Flint Journal. Champions from each grade were first decided and final'y the school champion, Lawrence Gillman, was picked by tournament play from this group. Page Thirty-siar A 7,1 FZ ,- '
