THE BEURO ROOM I. When school opened in September, there were thirteen pupils in the first and second grades. Dorothy Price, who was in the first grade, was not with us long until she moved away. The dozen children remaining were 'Gordon Johnson, Burton Hasen- yager, Charlotte Lampkins, Bobby Phillipi, Paul Phillipi, Orval Fay, Ivan: Carlson, Donald Pierce, Leo Mass, Elma Hoover, Darlene Garland, and Wayne Hasenyager. This is the smallest number of children that has been in the first and second grades for some time. Though we were least in numbers, smallest in size, and in school experience, we managed to capture the first prize for the room exhibits at the Bureau Township Fair. We were very proud and happy to receive the prize which was ten dollars. We have some new sets of readers in our library this year which we like X very much. The first grade has Beacon Primers, Child Library Primers, and Child Li- brary Readers, Book I. The second grade has Child Library, Elson, and Learn to Study Readers. Each grade has a set of Thought Test Readers. With some of our prize money we bought seatwork pads 'to go with some of our Readers. Like Billy and Sally in our Wag and Puff books, we learn to read, to sing, and to play games. We 'have parties too. We had a Hallowe'en party in our room. Then on Valentine's day, everybody in the grade school went down to the lunch room Where we were all served withlwafers and ice-cream. The ice-cream was white and had pink hearts in it. This treat was given to us by our teachers. Of course each room had a Valentine's box and everybody got many Valentines. On the last day of February we were given a waffle party Joy Mrs. Foushee at her home. How those waffles disappeared. Ivan Carlson brought a treat of 'Tango Bars the same day as it was his last day with us. Ivan and Darlene moved away the first of March. We hope we shall get some new pupils. On the fourth of March we all went into the auditorium' to hear Presi- dent Hoover speak. We can sing many songs now and we are going to be in the operetta, 'Lady- bug, Lady-bug. We also have a Primary Band. We like best to play the Jack and Jill March. Donald Pierce and Leo Mass are learning to play the harmonicas. We play games in the gymnasium and we know some to play in class. In Phonics class we like to play the 'KGuessing Game. 'Some of our other games are Hoppity-Skip , Tip-tap-toe , and the Racing Game . We had everybody guess- ing when we played the Singing Handkerchieff' We are glad that spring is coming. We can soon play outside, hunt pussy- willows and find spring flowers. Page Forty
