5th K-jrade Dear Mr. Ni. We remember when you were here. We can still spell country in Chinese. You taught us a lot. We wish you would visit us again. Thank you very much for your nice Christmas card. Many things have happened since you have left. We gave the Lincoln Play which was the story of Lincoln from the day he was horn until the famous Gettysburg Address. We learned about a lot of history and Lincoln. We had a little trouble at school with cap guns, so to solve the problem we went to the Winnetka Police Station. Chief Bowers said A law isn ' t made unless there is a reason. We learned that a powder burn is very serious. Then we read the law and found out that any explosives are not allowed to be shot off in Winnetka. We gave a skit about it, and the trouble seems to be over. When we found out about the trouble in Europe, we decided to help. We are giving part of our weekly allowances to help pay for Johan Druger ' s ex- penses. It takes $96. We got so interested in Holland we have made very interesting books and maps and many facts.

utk Ljra.de SIXTH GRADE ACTIVITIES The boys and girls of the sixth grade have been playing on the Middle School hockey and football teams. The boys played six games and the girls played three. At the end of the season the girls played the boys in a game of hockey. The girls were defeated by the score of 2 to 0. During the Christmas vacation a group of girls gave a skating party, at the Indian Hill Country Club, which we all enjoyed. The girls gave Miss Ingram, our home room teacher, a plant for her desk. In the beginning of the year we all took a science trip to the beach to hunt for interesting stones. Now we are planning the operetta of Hansel and Gretel with Miss Levin, our music teacher. The Middle School had a basketball league. The sixth grade was in it. The team went along well. Now the baseball season is here. We are sure all the boys and girls have enjoyed sixth grade and their first year in the Middle School. Back row— B. McGiveran, T. Clark, J. Glaser, G. Getz, T. Haven, D. Cleveland, T. Potter, J.

4-tn K-jrade This year in the fourth grade we have done a lot of interesting things. One of the things I liked best was when we studied about pre-historic animals. We made a mural about it which everyone helped to paint. It showed how the earth was formed from the time of volcanoes up to the dinosaurs. One day we went to the Winnetka Library. The librarian took us down to the Story Hour room and read us a story. We went to the fire-house too. The fire chief told us how to prevent fires. We saw where they slept, and we found out what the duties of the firemen were. We read a lot of books about George Washington and then made our own play. We called it The Making Of The First Flag. Another play we gave was a play called The Gingerbread Man. After the play we had gingerbread boys to eat. Our grade is very interested in foreign lands. We are studying about Green- land. We painted a mural about Greenland and put it in the hall outside our door. On March twentieth the whole class went to the Field Museum. We bad lunch there, and saw many of the animals we had studied about. Seated- ted — J. Sears, J. Blunt, R. Lowry, D. Shapiro, J. Kirkpatrick, J. Atwood, A. Harriet, T. Greenough, L.
