Harold Peebles has not been tardy and missed only one day of school for the year. We were sorry to have Lyle McCormick withdraw for the last five months because of illness. Jean Phillips also will be unable to finish the school year because of eye trouble. SECOND The total enrollment for the second grade is 33. However at the close of school there arc only 26 in the grade, seven pupils leaving during the year while four entered from other schools. Attendance in the second grade has been reduced by the ravages of mumps, measles. whooping cough and chicken-pox. Nearly 9V6l'y person in the grade has been out of school for at least one of these diseases. During the winter, members of the room carried out a Clean Teeth crusade. The children were to brush their teeth twice each day and at the end of three months were to visit a dentist for an examination. The fol- lowing were successful in carrying out the project: Bliss Fitts Jr., Emerson Albert, Marian Burns, Louise Babcock, Dane Crawford and Anna Warren. A Warm Breakfast cam- paign was also conducted during the year. The first, second and third grades gave an 4-Q-to-o-0+-o-o Q-sooo-oavoo c+eo 0,04 oar o FIRST The enrollment for the first grade at the beginning of the year was 31. However, several children have moved away and more have entered so that at the present, the enrollment stands at 25. High hopes were held that a few perfect attendance records would me main- tained, but measles and mumps spoiled that record. Among the porjects taken up for the year were the constructions of a house for the Three Bears and My Page books, the latter in con- nection with reading. During Education Week the first grade had the Eight Health Rules as a project. The grade bought a new set of Wag and Put? o-re oo+4-rreoo+oo-ro-+00-o-o o-Q 0444+-0+-Q-Q-o-v GRADE The third grade made health booklets in February. With pictures we told how to eat and live to be healthy. At present we are making Geography note- books illustrating the work of the year which has been the necessities of man, food, clothing, shelter, tools and modes of travel and trans- portation. GRADE operetta, Goldilocks' Adventure , on the 12th of December. With their share of the proceeds, the second grade bought a set of supplementary readers. . In reading, this year, the grade has read fifteen sets of supplementary readers as well as the four basal readers for the grade. In arith- metic, the pupils have studied the combinations in addition and subtraction, learned to tell time, to use Roman numerals, to multiply and divide by two and three. A nature study project was begun in April, in the form of an eggshell garden. Beans were planted in eggshells, and everyone enjoyed watching the growth of the plants. Those on the honor roll for the year are: Louise Babcock, Raymond Betts, Marian Burns, James Carr, Marilynn French, Geraldine Goff, Betty Hatton, Roy Hoover, Dale Jerome, Don Marr, Dorothy Maurer, Virginia Shepard and Clover Sparling. -Lona Miller. GRADE readers with the money obtained from the operetta. During the winter, two close races in phonics held our interest. A Clean Hands and Face Club was organized. Those obeying the rules of the club for a period of six weeks were given a badge. At the first signs of spring, the pupils began a thorough house cleaning. A complete re- arrangement of the room was accomplished and a library established. All the boys expressed great satisfaction because there were no rugs or carpets to clean. Ellajane Bishop, Betty Gault, George Par- sons, Lillian Salo, Norman Simmons, Betty Jeanne Espy and Margaret Ann Morrow are on the Honor Roll for the year. Page F :ftaen 9-yo-0-0-9

+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+

SCHOOL BAND The Andover School Band, an organization heretofore little known outside the immediately surrounding territory, stepped into the lime- light and achieved considerable honor by plac- ing third in the state contest for class C bands at Akron, Saturday, May 4th. It is an organiza- tion made up of 8 cornets, 15 clarinets, 3 saxo- phones, 1 bassoon, 4 basses, 2 baritones, 1 oboe. 4 drums, 5 trombones, 4 flutes and 4 alto horns. in all a membership of 51, 16 of which have joined since last September. The leader is Mr. Luoma who is not only very capable in that capacity but is very well liked as a friend to all. The band has been very successful since launching upon its career. During the past year, the organization played at Dorset Street Fair, at the Ashtabula bridge celebration, at Brookfield and at Richmond High School. Also several concerts were given in the home school. The biggest and finest trip of the year was that one to the state contests. A great deal of time and hard work was used in getting ready for the trip and participation in the contest. The band left Thursday noon, some in a huge bus, others in private cars furnished by good friends of the school. Upon arrival in Akron, members of the band were assigned rooms with private families in the city and surrounding towns. Garfield High School was made the headquarters for the class C bands. On Friday, at ten o'clock, the band gave the contest pieces. Everything went along just fine, and everyone felt that the work of the band was splendid. During the afternoon, several of the members went on an inspection tour of the Firestone Rubber Company. Happy though somewhat tired, the whole group re- turned to Andover, Saturday night. During the summer months, the band has several engagements in sight. On Memorial Day we will furnish music for services 'at Lines- ville. Music will be handed out to visitors at least one evening a week, here in Andover, at regular evening concerts. ORCHESTRA The orchestra was reorganized this year under the direction of Mr. Luoma. The group was reduced in size so that it could be used to better advantage. In many of the engagements last year, the space alloted the orchestra was inadequate for the large number of members. The names.of those in the orchestra this year follow: Shirley Loveland, piano, Samuel Luse, Ruth Fitts and Roberta Crum, violins, Emerson Parker, trurnpetg George Harrison, flute, Thel- ma Palmer, drums, Paul Tabor, bassg Howard Veneen, clarinetg and Marion Vickery, alto. The orchestra practices once a week and has played several times in public. Due to the extra work in getting ready for the band con- test, the orchestra has been unable to fill as many engagements this year as last. Page Sixteen
