Warm sunshine and clear blue skies staged the setting for the first annual Calhoun Academy May Court. Plan- ning for this event began in March, and for two weeks the Student Council, sponsorer of May Court, ardently la- bored to convert the front of our school into a springtime garden of paradise. Because each class per- formed representation of its own origi- nal talent, the audience, as well as the court, enjoyed variety and uniqueness of this well-planned program. Proud of its one senior, Calhoun Academy held its first graduation in honor of Beverly Zeigler. Always ac- tive in school affairs. Beverly has planned to continue her education in nursing. May King.

Junior Miss Calhoun Academy; and Pammy Rick- enbaker. second runner-up. May flowers and floodlights fasci- nated the awaiting crowd as nervous young ladies primped their curls and made other last-minute preparations during the long-anticipated night of the first Miss Calhoun Academy beauty contest. Sponsored by the newspaper staff, the Baptist Fellowship Hall was magically transformed into a garden of natural beauty. For the first week of summer vaca- tion Boys’ and Girls' Staters traveled to Charleston and Columbia, respec- tively, and experienced a week un- matched by any other they had ever known. “You’re a Grand Ole Flag” and God Bless America” tuned their hearts to a feeling of undaunted Amer- ican pride and a promise of youthful leadership in tomorrow’s world.

Finishing the season in a burst of glory as champions of State Golf Tour- nament, the girls’ golf team brilliantly creamed tough contenders, with three members shooting a better score than any of the other girls participating in the tournament. Team spirit was elec- trified by their unforgettable them song, “Chick-a-boom.” With the pro- fessional advice of their coach, Mr. Sam Kirven, and greatly needed ex- perience from the difficult Calhoun County Country Club course, the four strong top players etched a record of five wins, one tie and one loss. Cam Shuler won Medalist in the State Championship. With a winning season and an op- portunity to particiapte in the State Tournament at Hilton Head, the Cav- alier boys proved their skill to be con- sistent, their spirit unparalleled. Mr. Lawrence Gressette and Mr. Sammie Kirven led the boys to a greater knowl- edge of the game of golf and motivated them to a spirit of victory. |oe Fairey won Medalist in the State Tournament. Nicknames, game trips, new friend- ships, and esprit de corps brightened the otherwise dismal season of the softball teams, and provided a needed outlet for extra spring energy. The girls finished with a 0-3 record, nearly up- setting Hammond with a fiverun lead at the beginning of the game. Accord- ing to one player, the major accom- plishment was “that we all got to be good friends.” Joe Fairey chips out of the sand trap to tie for Medalist of state golf tournament. 15 Soccer Team Socks WHA Coach Gregorie Calhoun uses the break wisely by discussing strategy for the second half.

Bruised shins, twisted ankles, mashed fingers, busted noses, pounding lungs, throbbing heads, sprained toes—What is this? Soccer: one of the roughest sports in Amer- ica and the most exciting and in- vigorating phase of Calhoun Acad- emy’s athletic program. Practice came early in September for all Cavalier boys hardy enough to acquire the skill of artfully kick- ing the checkerboard sphere into a net expertly guarded by anxious op- ponents. Charging up and down a 100-yard field, the boys developed well-conditioned bodies and alert minds. With determination and dauntless Cavalier spirit, the 15 soc- cer athletes united their efforts and strove to improve their weak points. Even after defeat they retained their pride and stood against the next team with greater confidence and a little more experience. Coach Gre- gorie Calhoun, assisted by David Shuler and Rev. Bill Watson, taught his boys the true meaning of team- work and unfailing determination. 17 The Senior girls listen intently while being in- structed how to overcome the mistakes of the first half. The Senior Seminoles, who spon- sored a Powder-Puff soccer game to raise money, defeated the Junior Jag- uars during October. The Seniors were coached by Lawrence Wienges, with the opposing team coached by Ben Dantzler. The score was 1 to 0 and the game was played with no casualties. Headmaster Greg Calhoun and teacher David Shuler did an excellent job as referees. Robert Furtick. sponsored by Marian Sigmon, gets ready to be chauffeured around the field af- ter being crowned Miss Powder Puff. Seminoles vs Jaguars Students, as well as parents, come to support one of the many school activities-the Powder Puff soccer game. Smiling faces of both teams reveal the spirit felt by all. Learning the many skills of playing soccer causes Violet Crider and Reba Prince to collide. 19 20 Upper School Tacky Day winners. Caroline Liv- ingston and Chuck Wylie, show off their outfits. Tacky Day Is Happiness Mrs. Shirer dares to be different in her new tacky attire. Total change of appearance is a common malady of Tacky Day. Daine Parrish explains it to Mr. Calhoun. Michael and Hester Summers, brother and sister combination, win the Lower School Tacky Day contest. Excitement best described the mood of Calhoun Academy on Tacky Day. Students, in their sloppiest clothes, were eagerly anticipating two weeks of freedom from their nine-month hang- out-school. Adding to the fun and ex- citement was the Rev. Cooper Stonest- reet's address to the student body. Later came the awards for tackiest girl and boy. Caroline Livingston won tackiest girl; Chuck Wylie won tackiest boy. Winners from the Lower School were Hester and Michael Summers. After the parties and cleaningup. a pep rally was held outdoors. While the cheerleaders cheered, students yelled, built human pyramids, and horsed around. When the bell rang, there was a mad rush for the cars and buses. Christmas holidays had begun! The topsy-turvily of Tacky Day baffles Mr. Da- vid Shuler immensely. Region I Champs Anne Huff draws a foul as she drives around her defender. Exuberant Cavaliers excitedly join in the victory circle after the game that placed them in the re- gion finals. 22 Shooting over the screen set by Caroline Liv- ingston. Reba Prince adds two points in the re- gion finals. Motivated by eager enthusiasm and a driving determination, the Cavalier girls compiled an impressive record. Teamwork, the key to the Cavalier at- tack, was never marred by individual or personal desire for glory. Cameron gym once again served as the “home” of the mighty Cavaliers. With each day of practice came im- proved skills and physical condition. As the Cavalier girls strove for per- fection, in victory or defeat they main- tained a high degree of team spirit and sportsmanship. Participation in the Holiday In- vitational Tournament at Wade Ham- pton Academy during Christmas vaca- tion provided valuable experience. The secret to the Cavalier success was Mrs. Judy Lambert. Her quiet con- fidence in the team and her superb coaching boosted the lasses to victory. The sportsmanship of the team stemmed from association with Mrs. Lambert. She, plus the Calhoun Acad- emy girls team, indeed proved to be a winning combination. FRONT ROW: Betty Rose Phillips. Caroline Liv- ingston. Reba Prince. Anne Huff. Marian Sigmon, Elaine Ray.

Never-ending determination and ef- fort were the trademarks of the boys’ basketball team. As they swished, dribbled, and passed their way to a successful season, the boys dazzled spectators with their perpetual spirit and hustle. In victory or defeat, as min- utes ticked by, excitement and sus- pense rose and, always fighting, the mighty Cavaliers gave every student a team of which to be proud. Inspired by coaches S.J. Robinson, David Shuler, and Freddie Stabler, the team learned sportsmanship and team- work along with complicated zone de- fenses and intricate offensive manuvers.

At the close of regular season play, the Cavalier girls and boys were sec- ond in the region, as they both de- feated the Patriots of Patrick Henry Academy and advanced to the finals. Challenging the favored Bowman Bull- dogs, the boys emerged first runners-up and the girls came out on top as Region I champs. Anne Huff, Marian Sigmon, Reba Prince, and Lawrence Wienges were named tournament All-Stars. Both teams took pride in being presented with the sportsmanship awards and moved on to the Class A State Tournament. The boys faced Ca- tawba Academy and after a mighty struggle were defeated by the soon-to- be State Champs. The Cavalier lasses defeated Kershaw and Thomas Hart Academies and once again faced Bow- man in the finals. From the high-spir- ited game, the girls emerged as first runner-up in the state. The Cavaliers tournament accom- plishments exemplified their capabi- lities and talent in the field of sports. Recollecting comical events of the previous game. Caroline Livingston and Anne Huff delight over their team s newly acquired trophy. Sammie Kirven lays in an easy two points over the out-stretched arms of his opponents.

Elaine Ray rinses cars in a strcnous effort to raise money for the Senior Class. Outside of the academic schedule and organized sports, the students took time to enjoy their own fun and re- laxed recreation. Food during lunch period was often forgotten as the boys unwound from the tensions of study in a football or volleyball game. They ex- perimented in techniques of building human pyramids or decided which di- rection was best to cut grass on the soccer field. After school hours, active work on car washes and competitive games of soccer and basketball pro- vided funds for class projects. In- tramural activities gave students a break.

P.T.O. members formed an assembly Jine to serve plates. 30 Mrs. Joe Henry Smith tries to determine what her small friend wants to eat while daughter Denean tries to act as translator. Involvement. The first year of the Calhoun Academy Parent—Teacher Organization can best be described as “involvement. Because their interest reached beyond that of the classroom, parents and teachers united their ef- forts toward better student relations and raised a hard earned S1400 for the gym fund. The Harvest Carnival, ani- mated with jovial clowns and spine- tingling spooks, lured many adventur- ous spenders to myriads of creative booths. To add to their finances the P.T.O. sold cushions in the summer and held two chicken suppers during the year. Tirelessly during the fall and spring months, a team of mothers came to school to give the teachers a breather during recess and lunch. These diligent mothers said that for the first time they felt that they were familiar with typi- cal school life: friendships, studies, pleasures, and challenges. Becoming an integral part of student life, the P.T.O. served as a link between the younger generation and today's world. While some helpers chat as they display desserts, others were busy preparing the assembly line for the main course. 31 Eighth grade girls enjoy a friendly informal at- mosphere during lunch. Radiations of Love Young musician Buddy Hicklin entertains as ex- cited fan Bonnie Brady is held in awe. In an attempt to get away from the crowded lunch area these sophomore girls retreat to the quiet field behind the annex. 32 Betty Rose Phillips. Xennie Weeks, and Vickie Wylie indulge in study hall activities a bit out of the ordinary. Joy and expression of love and friendship cause the unique atmos- phere which dwells in the hearts of all those involved. With common goals and ideals, students seek to gain, and teachers to give all knowledge to pre- pare young minds for their future in life. Involvement of each individual with every other individual stimulates pow- erful ambition, determination, appre- ciation, Love. Everyone gives all they have to everyone else. These smiling study haliers enjoy the view from Mr. Shuler's classroom window. 33 Students enjoy the delicious food served at the P.T.O. barbeque. Interwoven within the academic fab- ric of Calhoun Academy student life was a tapestry of varied activities that kept each student's schedule filled with time-consuming but happy plans that were often educational as well. Organi- zations such as the Beta Club, which is a new addition this year, occupied pri- vate time with challenging projects. Predominating student enthusiasm was the versatile athletic department which incorporated nearly a third of the student body. For the more in- tellectually-minded individuals, news- paper and yearbook training in- troduced a beginning journalistic skills.

Cooperation between administration and fac- ulty is what keeps the learning processes of the Academy running smoothly. When complicated thoughts get all jumbled together in his mind, fifth-grader Marion Gres- sctte just has to sit and straighten out his head. Education, A void is filled A mind is broadened An individual takes shape. Classroom essays Spark fuses That compel young authors To resort to scratch pads and Private corners. It is here at Calhoun Academy Newly acquired knowledge is United, polished, printed. Education. It begins at birth. Strengthens with individuals. It begins; It never ends. THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE BEGINNING The pressures ot being a senior in high school weigh heavily on Marsha Feryus. Marian Sig- mon. and Xennie Weeks as they sit and study and try to think. Foundations of Learning Li Mischief, as contemplated by sophomore Vickie Wylie, plays a vital role in uplifting students spirits during the dull weeks of winter classes. Concerned over the ever-worsening enviro- ment. thoughtful lower school students created posters that made others think. Senior Violet Crider finds that gazing out the window helps one think about possible answers to the many questions of tomorrow. 37 Math Demands Accuracy Protractors, lectures, assistance in algebraic problems from classmates, and individual tutor- ing by the teachers all constitute the overall math department of Calhoun Academy. To train college-bound students in the basic skills of higher math, the analysis pupils studied the science of vectors, trigonometry, logarithms, and the field of complex numbers. Geometry students studied the Eu- clidean type. Theorems, postulates, and diagrams activated youth to the understanding of plane elementary geometry. Algebra I and II plagued students once again with parabolas, equations, and infinite numbers of problems. As they learned to solve for “x the ninth and tenth graders became clearer thinkers and more accurate mathematicians. Facing the beginnings of algebra and geometry, the eighth graders could hardly ever be found without a compass and ruler. They spent many laborious hours constructing right angles, bisecting them, and ap- plying the laws of Pythagoras to their mathematical constructions. In the seventh grade young scholars concentrated their efforts on basic solid geometry and learned the prac- tical application of arithmetic in everyday life. Sneaking a break from eighth grade math. Katie Byrd and Ann Harvin Whetstone share a joke. Seemingly disgusted with her Algebra I test score, Desi Locklair seeks an explanation from Mrs. Shirer. 39 Lectures, demonstrations, personal attention, and mechanical instrumentation were vital parts of Calhoun Academy’s science curriculum. Intensely peering at blood smears, ad- vanced biology teacher Milly McLauchlin and Steve Griggs try to determine types and structure. Physics students John David Soudenmire and Donnie Porth do some last minute cramming at lunch for their physics test. Minds Grow From Science Taking great pride in its science department, Calhoun Academy offered a diversified system in physical and natural sciences. Life science unfolded the secrets of the world around us, while physical science students got a sneak preview of chemistry and physics. In the study of biology sophomores were introduced to the lab while concepts of the cell and other mysteries of the body were slowly instilled in the mind. Chemistry taught the Junior the necessity of scientific conciseness along with the ability to reason. Electricity, the speed of light, wave motion with a touch of mathematics were all a part of the study of physics. Our newest course, advanced biology, pre- pared the Seniors to battle college biology. 41 Mr. Shuler. Jan Kemmerlin. and other class- mates go into hysterics over the gift he re- ceived from them for Christmas. Culture region maps of ninth graders proved to be exquisite. The Seniors have studied the civ- ilization of the ancient Greeks, Ro- mans, and Persians and now under- stand their influence on today's world. In geography the ninth graders toured the world as they each made an extensive research report on some corner of the earth. American and South Carolina History students dug into the very foundation of this country and state’s purpose of being founded. The successful and misfortunate events in these histories impressed the students to take pride in their heritage. Past Designs Future Lyn Hane questions Miss Goddard about the map test for the next day. Council Responds Maxis, midis, jeans, and bell-bot- toms hit the scene on the Cavalier campus after days of deliberation and discussion by the Student Coun- cil members of grades seven through twelve. In response to their theme, A Channel for Strength through Unity’, class representatives led rap sessions in order to get a clear per- spective of student opinion, while student opinion polls offered statis- tics of today's young people. After Board approval, girls wore pants and long dresses and boys wore longer hair. Student Council lead- ership also evolved the abolition of the C+ requirement for certain hon- ors and changed the athletic re- quirement to conform to that of the S.C. Independent Schools’ Athletic Department. Candy sales, paper drives, and sale of glasses boosted finances and provided printed handbooks for the entire student body. Predominating April and May, the Student Council planned May Court and sponsored elections for the next year. Secretary-Treasurer (eanne Phillips. President Reba Prince, and Vice-President Marge Wan- namaker were student leaders. Student Council projects included a successful paper drive, an inspiring Tacky Day assem- bly. and supplying students with candy for that needed energy boost at the break. FRONT ROW: Julie Peterkin.

As a new addition to the foreign language department this year, the French students perfected their pro- nunciation by listening to tapes and repeating. French study deviated to- ward emphasis on pronunciation rather than grammer. Tackling the zillions of tenses and declensions peculiar to the Latin language, underclassmen were once again faced with the idiosyn- crasies of Latin grammar. Many, however, found a valuable modern application to this ancient classic language. Foreign Study Turns Modern 46 Facets of Calhoun Academy's foreign language departments include extra credit reports, tapes to remedy bad French accents, serious study, counsel from wise teachers, clowning around, and getting beautiful. French II scholars Bert Weeks and Betty Rose Phillips conspire to finish their translations in time. 47 48 All English courses include a vital aspect of a student’s academic life, that of teachers help- ing students. To help students, teachers often invite guest lecturers. English Challenges When duty whispers low, ‘Thou must,’ The youth replies, ‘I can.’ ’’ These were the immortal lines written by Emerson, the American hero of youth. As the Juniors got their first taste of an in-depth study of American literature, they, too, dreamed the dreams of the revolu- tionary romantics, artfully memo- rized their poetry, and painstakingly wrote term papers about them. Sen- iors started their year with the Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf, traced the bloody plot of Shakespeare's Macbeth, and tackled the com- plexities of Milton's Paradise Lost. The tenth grade analyzed the fa- mous English novel Silas Morner, while the ninth graders concen- trated their efforts on Great Ex- pectations, biographies, and charac- ter essays. The seventh and eight grades struggled through the incon- sistent rules of grammar and made their first attempts in composition during English workshops. Mrs. Martha Stonestreet plays poetry records for her English students. Mrs. Judy Bull tells seventh-grader Elizabeth Hazen why nominative pronouns cannot serve as direct objects. Printed Paper Reflects Progress Last summer began the hard, in- dustrious work of the Lance staff. Co-editors Caroline Livingston and Xennie Weeks and assistant editor Felicia Gressette first attended an editor's conference at the University of South Carolina. That week was a time of desinging layouts, having punctuation rules rammed into their heads, and listening to lecture after lecture on improving future newspapers. The editors, fresh with brilliant ideas which did cost money, the business staff, headed by co-busi- ness manager Win Anne Wannama- ker, covered St. Matthews and the neighboring towns soliciting sup- port. The grand total obtained through advertisments and dona- tions came to over $450, allowing the Lance to be free of charge through-out the year. By the time Calhoun Academy opened its doors for another year, the Lance staff, composed of young journalists from the upper school, featured the gossip column, joke page, and horoscope listings. Each article was meticulously corrected by Mrs. Judy Bull, sponsor and advi- sor of the organization. Five pre- cious moments, especially during Christmas and on April Fool's Day, each member felt rewarded to see his special work published and printed for the entire student body to analyze and admire.

Practice for Calhoun Academy's cheerleaders started in August at Camp Pla-Mor, Myrtle Beach, S.C. Returning to St. Matthews with new cheers, chants, and inspirations, all the cheerleaders quickly began their work and chose a simple, but neat, uniform that was suitable for all sea- sons. After hours of practice, the nine spirit boosters painted signs, held pep rallies, and traveled many miles behind the Cavaliers. Though not always agreeing on everything, the Calhoun Academy cheerleaders did agree on one cer- tain goal, and that they did reach—to urge their teams on to a fruitful and rewarding season. Cheerleaders Kindle Spirit 53 Dream Comes True ‘Tis the hope of bigger and better things to come that made the hearts of Cavaliers stir with pride at the thought of their gymnasium. The promise of its completion aroused suspense, excitement, and ant- icipation. Perhaps the coming year will work its fulfillment. 55 Carefully checking her creations, lay-out edi- tor Win Anne Wannamaker strives for per- fection of her magazine-style design. “The beginning of the end of the beginning : this is the theme and momentum of seven weary and hag- gard annual staffers as they stum- bled to sleep after 48 hours without rest, a few days before the final deadline. With the aspiration to ex- press in pictures and words the year 1972 that was exquisitely character- istic of Calhoun Academy, editor Elaine Ray and business manager Anne Huff, accompanied by other staff members, received professional journalistic training at Camp Ka- nuga, Hendersonville, N.C. Here they captured three out of four awards in their class: Outstanding Layout, “Outstanding Theme De- velopment,” and Outstanding Copy. Expanded by sixteen pages and innoculated with tons of brand new journalistic techniques, the 1972 SWORD ‘N' SHIELD correlated youthful energies into a clear per- spective of Calhoun Academy's sec- ond year.

The gym was built, however, as far as the finances could be stretched. Always open-minded to student opinions, the Directors care- fully weighed the proposals presented by the Student Council and ratified an amended dress Code and a change in the athletic stand- ards, increasing school spirit. Coach, teacher, advisor, head- master—Mr. Greg Calhoun was the versatile leader of the 275 Cavaliers. He was head coach of the soccer and baseball teams and advisor for the SWORD 'N' SHIELD STAFF. He also taught advanced math and physics. Although she was a new member of the administration this year, Mrs. Linda Calhoun didn't take long to adapt to the animated, bustling ac- tivities of everyday life at Calhoun Academy. She could always be found busily at work, willing to do what she could to make each day a little easier. Mrs. Linda Calhoun, in her first year as secre- tary. was kept busy answering phones, typing memos and reports, and administering first aid. Headmaster Greg Calhoun was introduced to many new ideas and to many new friends, as shown here by Mrs. Tommie Sue Jones. 60 Wondering if a prospective teacher will be good for Calhoun Academy.

Teachers Span Learning Cleft When the summer days were over and schoolhouse doors were opened once again, students, some ready for school and others not, suddenly found themselves hurled into a world of ancient history, algebra equations and myriads of other complexities involved in under- taking new subjects. Young thinkers soon began to get tuned into new interests. 63 Mrs. Mary Lou Dove helps Karen Prickett to piece together an old test paper. Tutors Cultivate “ 'Tis education forms the com- mon mind: Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined. Pope’s epigram places a heavy re- sponsibility on teachers; the person- ality of their students is tremen- dously dependent upon the teacher. The students at Calhoun Academy have beneficial influences, for the teachers employed here are well-in- formed. sensitive, and responsive to students’ needs. This accounts for the successful development of the Cavaliers. To answer a question concerning Caesar's Gallic Wars, Mrs. Ellen Shirer takes out a minute to think. Mrs. Judy Bull finds some of the remarks of her ever-alert seventh grade delightful. 64 Thinking over the lesson of her next class. Mrs. Martha Stonestreet mimeographs Eng- lish literary terms.

These were the first words of a sentimental Senior when asked to describe his Senior year. College ap- plications, term papers, advanced courses, uncertain ambitions—all these thoughts added to the pan- demonious and changeable moods of the Senior world. Even though they were plagued with financial burdens, the Seniors were inspired by a dream of the sunny Bahamas but found the money more difficult to acquire than once expected in September. The Seniors, however, correlated their efforts toward two big projects—the Powder Puff soccer game and the P.T.O. basketball game. Apathy and concern, doubt and confidence, the present and the future: the Senior class was a colony of individuals. 67 Ads Work For People C.F.

Juniors Unite Planning Junior-Senior, creating Mr. Snowman to win first place door on Tacky Day, and accepting a Sen- ior challenge to a Powder-Puff soc- cer game—these activities helped draw juniors closer to experience class unity and togetherness. The closeness of the class led to com- plete cooperation in the money-rais- ing projects of selling doughnuts, trash cans, and cards. This oneness gave rise to the first class trip as well as new friendships. Several Juniors summed up their year beautifully: best school year at Calhoun Academy, “big change, “great Junior Class, “I just love Miss Goddard to death, and con- cerning the Powder-Puff soccer game, most fun I’ve had all year, and we got beat!

They never ceased to be up to something which would cause an uproar from teachers and fellow students. Yet being human, they had their problems. Occasional eruptions of emotions over general biology and Algebra II were frequent. Enthusiasm and interest in sports were their motto. They were also in- cluded in organizations such as the annual staff. But the big event of the year was being involved in Junior- Senior which began their prepara- tion for next year.

When left to their own ambitions and ingenuity, some freshmen failed to climb far from the valley of apathy. Nobody wants to do anything and “It's a bunch of nothing was the gen- eral concensus of many. Others, however, did scale the mountain in their superb response to challenge of the culture regions and the excitement of the imaginary trip to France.

Learning to be young leaders, the Student Council representatives had their first experiences with student government. Small as they were, the athletic department benefitted from their involvement, for soccer, golf basketball, and softball teams each included seventh grade participants. With unique artistic creativity the seventh graders spent many long hours after school on class projects, bulletin boards, and their home- room door. Their major financial project at the Halloween Carnival resulted in about forty dollars profit.

Junior High: Their Goal During the light-hearted days of the sixth graders' year, 28 diligent workers united their efforts for three happy trimesters. Mainly studying South America and Canada, each student delved into the historical, political, and sociological character- istics of these countries. In math- ematics they took a modern ap- proach to elementary algebra and geometry. English introduced sim- iles and metaphors, basic skills of English grammar. Motivating her young learners, Mrs. Judy Lambert introduced to them arts of effective study, and the everyday experience that would prepare them for high school years ahead. Judy Smith and Talley K.

Mathematics involved such alge- braic principles as graphing and fac- toring and arithmetic skills were cultivated by a modern approach to addition, subtraction, multiplication and divison. In literature the class made their first acquaintance with Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes and they broadened their spelling skills with weekly tests and spelling bees. Social studies motivated stu- dents to seek outside research and to complement their textbooks with oral reports and creative posters.

In their spare time the class mem- bers worked enthusiastically on dec- orating the door. The Christmas tree attached to the door was decorated with handmade ornaments and pic- tures of the sixteen students of the class.

Mrs. Hicklin’s students excitedly watch her open her Christmas gifts before school closes for the holidays. Third Graders Comprehend Cubes and circles and squares and triangles sparked an early interest in arithmetic for the twenty-six third graders, while Alice in Wonderland led them to fairyland world of the “Mad Hatter, the door mouse, and the March Hare.” In science they studied rocks, fossils, sea shells, and ancient cavemen. Recess was a time for basketball, baseball, football, and especially exciting games of chase. Because of the expert instruc- tion of Mrs. Thelma Hicklin, the third grade became more aware of their school, their friends and their world. Ecology also sparked interest; posters protesting land, air. and wa- ter pollution pictured the third gra- ders' idea of a contaminated envi- ronment.

Records gave vari- ety to a day’s work, while spelling bees activated an early interest in accurate grammar. Poetry also added a new dimension to English. In mathematics they learned the ba- sic skills of arithmetic and even be- gan solving simple algebraic equa- tion. They also learned “real writing.” For Thanksgiving they drew their ideas of the Pilgrims and theMayflo- wer with pencils and crayons. Christmas was a time for parties and exchanging of packages, for ant- icipation of Santa and his sleigh, for the simplicity of the Bethlehem nati- vity. With the patience and con- fidence of Mrs. Grace Zimmerman, the second grade benefitted from a synchronized balance of academics and pleasure. While helping decorate for May Court.
