Sixth and Seventh Grades The Sixth and Seventh Grades wish to extend congratulations to the Senior Class anc to say also that we hope to be Seniors some day. As in previous years the Grades have taken part in many activities and especially so in their missionary work. We are proud of having the honor of ransoming a little pagan baby and we hope that the little fellow will pray for us to make our grades that so we can pass on to high school. Fourth and Fifth Gradesi Well, here we are just about finished another school year of hard study which we hope has brought us nearer our goal. Notwithstanding the hard task of study we get a great thrill out of our many school activities. To prove to you dear readers that we are a very busy little crowd, we shall permit you to peep into our school term, we reorganized the Little Missionaries Club. There are as you all know, just heaps and heaps of work attached to this activity especially when one is interested as we are to help in the great task of bringing souls to God. We have already prov- ed our earnestness as loyal members by presenting to the Infant jesus the soul of a ransomed Chinese baby. Contributing to the Holy Childhood Association is another good work of ours. Second and Third Grades At the beginning of the school year we reorganized our various activities and adopted new ones. Our principal club this year is the Blue Bonnet Club and the Blessed Mother is its patroness. The Academy chaplain, Bev. Father Morkovsky, visits us sometimes and gives us talks on the foreign missions. We have profited by these talks and have ransomed a pagan baby and have called the little girl's name Mary Cecilia. This is our teacher's name you know. Now we must be oft and study for our final examinations which are to take place next week. Don't you hope that we pass? Second and Third Grades Little kids some of the big girls call us, but our teacher says, Never mind you will be big boys and girls some day, and then you will go on to high school, so just study real hard now. We do study not only to know our lessons but also to get a STAB on our READER. Sister calls us a happy little class. We play the Rhythm Band too and we are always anxious for Sister Genevieve to come and practice with us. We like to make posters and have made very many during the year. Our next project is to make them all into a book and take them home to our Mothers. Do you know what we are doing now? Well, we are saving our nickels to buy a pagan baby and we are also selling old newspapers for the same purpose. We have saved already about 38.00. Carl A. Svendsen saved 52.00 and Iosie Nehr 51.00, so now the big girls and boys can see that we little kids can do our bit. Good bye for this year. Watch us grow next year. Page Twenty
