Not only have they worked hard from day to clay on regular lessons, but they have continued the type of club work so valuable in teaching people to work to- gether. The class called its club “The Happy Sixes”. The organization sponsored a Valen- tine party as the main social event of the year. Participation in school programs has been Fifth It is in the fifth grade that children begin to make great strides toward growing up. This fifth grade of twenty-six pupils has wasted little time this year, having had as their goal the mastery of fundamentals. The art work has been closely correlated with the units studied. One of the most difficult projects, but one which brought the most gratifying results, was the making of large historical built-up posters of intricate Fourth Enjoying movies and listening to the W.L.S. schooltime programs were only a few of the interesting things the seventeen fourth grad- ers have done this year.

Other art work has been entirely creative. Another worthwhile project was a map activity, showing a series of maps ex- plaining “Where We Live”. The class has participated in the usual pro- grams and the exhibits, seen several interest- ing films and film strips, and carried on the traditional activities of the Our Gang Club, which is closing its eleventh year.

Third Grade The twenty-six third graders have done everything this year from doing the square dance to forming a reading club. The square dance, complete with costumes, music, and caller, was done for the American Education Week program. Forming the Reading Club resulted in en- couraging the pupils to do more outside read- ing. Meetings were at the library with members of the class giving book reports on their outside reading.

Many studies introduced in story and activity in the first grade now became a subject to he learned in a different way. The pupils learned the strokes and loops of cursive writing. They took trips to the postoffice, the fire station, the library, and the zoo as part of their social studies.

Later Mary Sinks entered from Hang- ing Grove. The class made quite a “hit with the First Grade Follies at the American Education Week program. The songs, recitations, and stories were done well and cleverly.

They sold greeting cards to earn beautifully bound Bibles. Aside from the usual birthday celebrations and parties for different holidays, the pupils enjoyed doing a variety of art work (mostly creative), seeing movies and film strips, and participating in the “Adventures of Goldi- locks”, an operetta or the first, second, and third grades. Grade the pupils created a Christmas scene, made a paper chain American flag, and did other lovely pictures. Seasonal and birthday parties added fun to many a school day.
