They decided to learn to knit. They knitted squares in bright yarns of many different colors. These squares were crocheted together to make an afghan. The afghan was given to a home for Christian Science children in Beaumont. SIXTH GRADE OPINIONS Caryn Citron - Dale Paul If you ask the Sixth Graders what they like most about their grade, the major- ity would say the dancing lessons which nPrepare us for years coming on.u The Sixth Grade room's nickname is nThe Treehouse,u because it is upstairs among the trees. As one student de- scribed it, they Hhave the privilege of an extra nice room with fringe benef1ts.H The girls and boys have their own separate rooms for talking, chewing gum, drawing pictures, and other con- structive pastimes. Every year each student makes a re- port on a foreign country. The re- ports are a challenge to the pupils and they turn out extraordinary work. They also make world globes in art under the tutelage of Mrs. Richards. The SRA Reading Laboratory is a new experience for the Sixth Graders. Each pupil advances in reading skills at his own rate of progress. If a student stays on the Honor Roll all week, he gets an O in citizenship. Oh, but it is easy to slip from the perfection which it demands. The Sixth Grade Teacher, Mrs. Henry, is helping the girls knit a multi- colored afghan for a children's home or an orphange. The pupils all agree that Mrs. Henry is a loving, devoted teacher which seems to be the key to the complete bliss of the Sixth Graders

Dave Hocker fjh 4 X ,gs Heather Watters The Seventh Grade Drama Department this year has centered around English and Literature. Last November, Mrs. Evans directed our English Class in three groups of skits on correct man- ners for the Mothers' Club. The first scenes were about manners on the telephone. In class we had learn- ed the fundamentals of phone courtesy and performed for our audience several different types of telephone conver- ksations. .f In our next skits on introductions, we enacted ways in which to properly introduce our friends, parents, and people of honor. A For our finale, having learned how to handle ourselves in unusual social situations, we performed some original skits to show how to handle ourselves correctly. The program was repeated, by request, for an assembly for the intermediate grades. February, in our Literature Class with Mrs. Dlouhy, the girls performed for the boys and boys performed for the girls. The girls skit was a melo- drama called nEscapade of Terror,n on which the boys reported. The boys' play, on which the girls reported, was entitled nThe March of the Wooden Soldiers.n This was a comedy about an army outfit's adventures. In both performaces, the skripts were written by the students and were enjoyed by our audience, Mrs. Dlouhy and Mrs. Evans. we had great fun putting on these two programs and learned much from them.
