We have enjoyed studying, though some subjects more than others. Our.first sub¬ ject each day—in which Bill and Alair join us—are algebra and geometry. Most of us find it difficult to remember all those different formulas and theorems, espe¬ cially geometry, where we learn the idea of proving everything. But when recess comes along our difficulties seem to vanish and we find ourselves taking an active part in sports. With Joe we can’t compare ourselves. He is quick in understanding and has no great problems of homework, e usually has his assignments finished at the right time. When Mildred misses a day of school the day seems long and dreary. We are always glad to see her enter when we feel blue and down-hearted, for she always has a friendly word of encouragement. She is always ready to help with a problem to the best of her ability. Minnie is a hard worker and strives to have her assignments finished. Even though she has been out of school for a few years she does very well in the class¬ room. She is very attentive and has not been caught daydreaming yet. We Grade Tens feel privileged to be able to take our schooling in our home district. We are thankful for our teacher who is not only concerned about our school sub¬ jects but is also concerned about the souls of his students. We enjoyed every moment of religious instruction and hope to live according to what we have been taught. —Minnie Plett 15
