THE BEURO ROOM IV. Here we are again at the close of another school year, the year 1928-1929. There were only fourteen in our room-five in the seventh grade and nine in thet eighth grade when school began. Of course. in September we had our annual room exhibit at the fair. We tried to carry out the color scheme of green and yellow. We were not fortunate enough to get first prize but nevertheless we were awarded five dollars for our efforts. For the Christmas program the entire grade school gave a group of song num- bers illustrating the Birth of Christ. We tried to do our best under the leadelrship of Miss Walker. Basketball was quite prominent in our affairs this year. We boys played games with New Bedford, Malden, Princeton Junior High and Kewanee. We also took part in the Buda Grade Tournament. Maybe we lost most of our games this year-no, maybe we won most. We VVOfl,t tell because that's our secret, but this isn't a secret and that is we certainly wish to thank Mr. Troyer for his coaching and his taxi services. We girls played b0y's rules all year. We 'had manylinteresting games in gymnas- tic classes against the boys. We played two games with the High School girls and we are proud to say we played the Ohio girls twice and won both games. We most always dislike March because it brings bad roads-consequently ab- sentees, sickness caused by colds, and March moving . Dale Garland moved east of Princetong he was in the eighth grade. Our attendance record also was good until March. We have had instrument practice twice every week. .We always enjoyed these practices under our faithful director, Miss Walker. We tried to do our bit in enter- taining the public whenever the need arose. The last three months certainly kept us busy with the Zone Contest, operetta, school exhibit and plans for graduation. Oh June! Who doesn't like you? Yes, What is uso rare as a day' ini June ? , es- pecially when that is graduation day? Do we know what the future holds in store for us? No, perhaps not, but let's all keep 'hold for the opportunity for more education- at least four years of High Schol.

There were premiums to tlhe winners of the Livestock and Poultry Shows. There were races and horse races. The grade rooms competed against each other, Miss Walker's room winning first place. On the 23rd of December we had a Christmas program. The pupils from the dif- ferent rooms spoke pieces and sang songs. Our room gave a play. After Santa Claus had come and distributed the presents the board members gave a treat of candy and oranges. We all enjoyed that. On the 31st of December and lst of January our school had an invitation basket- ball tournament. Malden was Champion. On Wednesday, January 3rd, we came back to school. February 14th. we had a Valentine party. We were surprised to have ice cream and wafers as a treat which the teachers served. We all received Valentines from different school mates. On March 4th, we went down stairs to the auditorium to listen to Mr. Hoover take his oath of office. We had our lunch in the auidtorium. We gave two operettasg one for Rooms 1 and 2, which was Lady4bug, Lady-bug and Tad's Inspiration , given by Rooms 3 and 4. The grade school has an orches.tra and a harmonica band. The orchestra consists of six violins, three clarinets, one trombone, one guitar, and two cornets. The har- monica band consists of about twenty pupils from this room.

THE BEURO Grade Athletics The grade boys have been very successful in athletics this year. They played in nine games, winning two of them. Of course it would have been better if we would have won more, but we had heaps of fun and a lot of good practice that will be very valuable when we get in high school. We wish to take this opportunity to thank lVlr. Troyer, our coach, for his faithful service to us. He also afforded us transportation. His inter- est was with us as well as with the high school. We played football when school first began. Although we didn't have any schedule of games, we certainly had some good times. We cannot leave the girls out when it comes to athletics. We played the high school girls several times this year. We also played two games with the Ohio grade girls this year. We are very proud to say that we won both of them. We had some very interesting games in Gym class. We wish to thank our coach, Miss Weiland, for her services. When wel get in High School we expect to show them how to play basket ball, both boys and girls. The boys who made up the team are: Carl Dreman, Leonard Her- lean, john Barnett, Russel Flaherty, Hiram Johnson, Bernard Hasenyager, Carl Pihl and Gilbert Nyman. The grade girls who made up the team are: Helen Heuer, lna Hoover, Ruth Pihl, Clara Woods, Dorothy johnson, Dorothy Purvis and Doris Odell.
