Five more of the class have not been absent during the past year except for a short time while they were entertaining that swell disease known as the mumps. Luella Wade missed the first that she has ever missed since she began school. Lcta Bissell carried off the honors in scholarship, having received 77 E's on her monthly report card, and six E's in her county GRADE examinations. The class was represented in the declamatory contest by Hattie Case who took second place in the grade contest. Six members of the class are in the band, and took part in the contest held at Akron. Rogene Hill and Hazel Smith represented 'the class in the spelling contest. Hattie Case and Hazel Smith have the highest scores in the arithmetic contest. It is hoped that 'these pupils will be able to place in the meet at Jefferson. 0-0-Q4-040 -++0444+0+-0 eo+ SEVENTH GRADE The seventh grade is proud of its only perfect attendance member, Charles Ainger. He has been neither absent nor tardy. With measles, mumps and whooping-cough germ: filling the air it is hard to see how Charles dodged all of them. The class is glad to welcome Wilda Elliot, a new student from Eagleville. Three of the class, Edna Murdock, Ida Mary Silliman and June Robison, have moved away. Phillip Porter was the class speaker in the declamatory contest. Three seventh graders, Victoria Cobb, Duane Hill and Robert Burns have been on the Honor Roll each month of this year. The most recent president of the Junior Review Club was Homer Gray. The money left in the class fund will be used at the end of the year. A class library of about 110 books has helped out a great deal. Correspondence with the schools of Andover, Connecticut, has been very interesting. They have sent notebooks, drawings and letters, while many things have also been sent 'to them. A great deal has been learned about the boys and girls of this other Andover. SIXTH The sixth grade have an enrollment of twenty-seven, but owing to the epidemic of mumps, only one pupil, Vienna Arnio, had a perfect yearly attendance record. Two mem- bers were lost by withdrawal. Thomas Case, who moved to Arizona in December, and Elmer 'Baker who left for Ashtabula last month. In spite of the forced absence, quarterly examinations showed that the students were doing very good work, and the grades were very gratifying. In November, an operetta, The Maid of the In April, a birthday party for Miss Stine- bring was held by the class. Victoria Cobb baked the cake for the occasion. The girls said that it looked just fine, while the boys agreed that it tasted awfully good.

FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class held an election of oiiicers the first month of the school year. The class elected George Harrison as its president while Ruth Fitts was chosen as the vice-presi- dent and Mathilda Bowden, secretary and treasurer. Throughout the year, the class members have enjoyed their new subjects a great deal. The entire class took up two Freshman sub- jects, English and General Science. Some ol' the class were often perplexed with Algebra, but managed to come out all 1'ight under the supervision of Mr. Hicks. In English some of the class thought that they were better English- men that their teacher. However, the dictionary usually convinced them that they were mise taken. Mr. Thompson brought many things in General Science which have been of extreme value to all and have proved to be V91'y in- teresting. Miss Boord has made Latin seem very much alive rather than the so-called dead language. Plays and songs in Latin have addefl to the general interest. lVho can forget that play when Parker was dressed as the king and seemed to be cut in two. Mr. Jerome has made some good carpenters out of the boys while others are convinced that as carpenters they 0-+4-o+o-0 Page Twelve are still good ditch-diggers. Two members of the class are taking Agriculture. At the beginning of the year there was an enrollment of thirty-one members. The total has remained the same and it is hoped that the class may stay together until graduation. The first class gathering was the one in which members of the first year class were formally, or was it informally, initiated into the high school group. A great many stunts were pulled off at the expense and discomfort of the Freshmen, although it all seemed to please those who made up the audience. A party was held at the home of Marion Vickery. The class gave her a pleasant sur- prise and a fine time was enjoyed by all those present. During the winter the class went to West Andover and had a great time on a coasting pa1'ty. After all had partaken of a little sliding and a great many spills, or rather, thrills, a fire was built and George Harrison gave a lecture and demonstration on the number of hot dogs one may consume with safety. The class is glad to come to the end of the first quarter of its high school course, and will try to get along even better next year.

+6+44+ Regular instructions in music have been given and a two and three-part chorus was formed which appeared at several functions. At the carnival, the sixth grade had charge of the relic room, which made the association about ten dollars. Vienna Arnio represented the class in the declamatory contest. Several parties have added social enjoyment. Christmas gifts were exchanged, as were also valentines. FWTH The total enrollment for the fifth grade this year has been thirty-five. However, the highest attendance at any one time was only thirty-two. Due to the mumps there is only one person from this grade who has had a perfect attendance record. Fred Sparling is the lucky boy, and from his fine record must be considered a healthy one. One wonders if his motto is Early to bed, etc. The fifth grade has done very creditable work this year in music under the guidance of Mrs. Tripp. For the music festival at Kings- ville, Leo Maki and Mary Harrison represented Andover. Penmanship has been ably taught by Miss Roberts. If the class continues to improve in writing as much as they have in the past, they will not cause many people to have eyestrain. In the declamatory contest, grade five had several entries. They were as follows: Joseph Thompson, Marian Steen, Alma Pancost, Mar- garet Hatton, Jeanne Ralya and Billie Heath. The judges chose Billie as the first place win- ner. In the school contest, Billie was chosen to represent Andover. Again, at Cherry Valley, Billy came through, and as a result of this he will represent Andover at the county contest. Leo Maki and Esther Kolehmainen were chosen to represent this grade in the Arithmetic FOURTH The total enrollment for the year in the fourth grade is twenty-five. Daniel Burger came to Andover from Kinsman early in the year, while James Robison moved to Youngs- town in March. Bernice Hooks, Viola and Walter Garvey joined the grade in February. Lena Mook came from Franklin, so that at the end of the year the enrollment totals 'twenty- four. The work for the second semester has been greatly hindered by the numerous cases or mumps, measles and chicken-pox. For two weeks less than half of the regular attendance was present. Page F ouzteen 44++Q4 Four members represented the grade in the Akron band contest. For a grand finale, the class went to Conneaut this spring. They visited the Conneaut Creamery and inspected the harbor activities, including the loading and unloading of large lake vessels. The remainder of the afternoon was spent roasting weiners and marshmallows at a driftwood fire on the beach. GRADE and Spelling contests at Jefferson. Those in the band from this grade include: Leo Maki. Charles Babcock, Jackie Fletcher, Alma Pan- cost and Anna Curtiss. During the year new books have been pur- chased to add to the class library. Many books have also been donated. As a part of the regu- lar work, the News Outline has been read and discussed. Several of the pupils have made News Outline notebooks. A short time ago they took a vote on the National Flower, a tabula- tion being partly sponsored by the News Out- line. The English work this year has been made up of both Written and oral Work. The written part has been especially well done. The follow- ing is a short fable written by Anna Curtiss. THE TWO TREES How sorrowful you look, said the Maple Tree to his friend the Birch Tree. Yes, and I feel just as bad as I look, too, grumbled the Birch Tree. To think I have to lose my leaves every Fall, and then every Spring I have to grow fresh ones. How useless it seems. How strange it is to look at it that Way, said the Maple Tree. I always enjoy bringing out my green leaves every Spring. GRADE The current paper, My Weekly Reader, has been furnished by the Board of Education. This paper has given the members good ma- terial for silent reading. Much interest has been shown in the topics of the day written in story form. The fourth grade have enjoyed their music class under the direction of Mrs. Tripp. The pupils on the honor roll for the year are: Burdetta Beebe, Marietta Fitts, Vienna Maki and Claire Miller. Grade four has no failures to report this year. ++044+
