THE V.l.K.'s Patty Reeder and Penny Hill Who are the V.l,K.'s? Why, they are the twenty-three fu- ture circus trainers, racemen, mommies, rocket ship men, fire- men, members of the navy, lawyers, Sunday School teachers, and airplane men-otherwise known as the Very Important Kindergartenersf' Mrs. Reynolds, their teacher, with Mrs. Barbara Timm as an assistant from the Nursery, feels that the whole class has the characteristic of being very vigorous. This is a great under- statement. Their main reasons for liking Berkeley Hall are the merry-go-round and the bicycles. Next in line come the toy helicopters, the sandpile, painting, the doll house, books, making stuff, and cutting out things. Scholastically they are really doing well, feeling that it is interesting to learn. They are using the Carden system in learning howto write, doing number work, and reading readi- ness. They will be reading, too, before the end of the year, Some of the V.l.K.'s can even tell time. One of the most important things in the Kindergarten is the Golden Rule Chart. When a child is loving and good he earns a gold star, if he forgets, he gets a red star which reminds him to stop and think of the Golden Rule. .This chart is apparently effective, for one little V.l.K. was heard saying, You should not be mean or hit anybody or else you will get a red star. V.l.K.'s are generally consenting to conditions at Berkeley Hall, and they love the food, especially peanut butter and ielly sandwiches and hot dogs. But they do have suggestions for improvement as to the colors of the school buildings. The most popular ideas are white, pink, multi-colored, orange, yellow and green. The V.I.K.'s are definitely distinctive people, alon't you agree? ?? .-g 'iii A xg ,Q- Mrs. Barbara Timm Mrs. Ruth Reynolds
