MANY WERE THE FEARS AND MISGIVINGS WHEN IT BECAME KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE GRADES WAS TO BE HOUSED IN A PART OF THE BASEMENT,THE FORM- GVMNASIUM. THE FIRST CONCERN WAS ER GlRL'S TO PROPERLY EQUIP IT. A STEAM HEATING UNIT WAS INSTALLED, THE HEAT BEING SUPPLIED ev THE FURNACE IN THE NEW PART. THERE WERE Foun FOUR-LIGHTED WINDOWS 345 x 4On. To AUGMENT THIS NATURAL LIGHTING, FouR DOME LIGHTS OF 200 WATT POWER EACH, WERE INSTALLED. A VENT- ILATING SYSTEM COMPARABLE TO THAT USED IN THE REST OF THE BUILDING WAS ADDED. Two OF THE WINDOWS WERE HINGED AT THE BOTTOM AND PROVID- ED WITH THEY COULD BE TILTED BACK T0 ADHIT ADDITIONAL FRESH, COOL AIR WITHOUT ITS aLowING UPON THE PUPILS. FIR FLOORING WAS LAID ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR UNDER EACH Row OF DESKS AND SEATS. Two LARGE BLACKBOARDS, BOOK-CASES, WORK TABLE AND BENCH AND OTHER EQUIPMENT FOLLOWEDD VERY FEW, INDEED,IF ANY, ARE THE SCHOOL- ROOM8,HOWEVER DARE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOQ IMPOSSIBLE or TRANSFORMATION. THE ENTRANCE OF THIRTV BRIGHT-EYED, EAGER-FACED CHILDREN IS IN ITSELF AN IMMEDIATE TRANSFORMATION. Bur FOR THEIR ENJDYMENT IT IS DESIROUS TO PROVIDE AN ATTRACTIVE SETTING. THE WALLBOARD, wooo, AND BRICK wALLs PROVED IDEAL FOR THIS. A WIDE VARIETY OF PICTURES, MAPS,FREE-HAND DRAWINGS, POSTERS, AND A BULLETIN BOARD COULD BE PUT UP ANYWHERE WITHOUT INJURY T0 THESE WALLS.

DESPITE THE FACT THAT SICKNESS KEPT OF us AT HOME ouR ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. nSPRING FEVERn WILL PROBABLY vERY REACH SOME OF us. WE'RE HOPING THE AT ISN'T Too SEVERE. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WE HAVE CARRIED A HEALTH PROGRAM. EACH MORNING we HAD SPECTION or EACH CHILD FOR CLEAN HANDS FACE, CLEAN FINGER NAILS AND TEETH. WE LIEYE THIS HAS BEEN A BENEFIT TO us. SAFETY HAS BEEN STRESSED. We HAvE SAFETY POSTERS, READ SAFETY STORIES ETC. HOPE THIS HAS HELPED us T0 BE MORE SAF MINDED. --- 0 --- FOURTH GRADE ICONT I NUED, IN TION SOME GOOD SOON TACK OUT IN- AND BE- MADE WE ETY- THE DEEP WINDOW LEDGES, THE GERANIUMS WITH THEIR GREEN FOLIAGE AND COLORFUL BLOSSOHS RA- DIATED CHEER.

THIRTY-FOUR MANY THINGS OuR FIRST PROJECT WAS BUILDING A HOME AND COMMUNITY IN ouR SAND TABLE. ONE or THE GIRLS BROUGHT A HOME ALL MADE AND FURNISHED, WITH FOUR RooMs. ANOTHER BROUGHT FURNITURE TO HELP IN ouR HAND MADE HOME. WE GRAIDED A RUG AND DID soME NEAT PAINTING or THE HOUSE. AT HALLOWEEN TIME WE HAD A PARTY FOR MOTHERS. TH: ATMOSPHERE WAS AS WEIRD AND SPOOKY AS WE couLD MAKE IT WITH DARRENED ROOM LIGHTED av JACK-O-LANTERNS. FIGURES or CATS, HATS AND WITCHES WERE HUNG ABOUT. EVERYONE HAD A MASK MADE av HIMSELE AND COSTUMES BROUGHT FROM HOME. EVERYONE WORKED VERY HARD TO MAKE OUR OPERETTA A SUCCESS AT CHRISTMAS TIME. BUNNIES AND SNOWFLAKES CAME TO LIFE FROM OUR ROOM, OTHER SECOND GRADERS WERE IN THE CHOIR. DURING THE SPRING WE BECAME INTERESTED IN A CIRCUS. MOST OF THE CIRCUS WAS IN THE SAND TABLE, BUT WE MADE A MERRY-GO-ROUND LARGE ENOUGH FOR US TO GET INTO. OUR ROOM IS PROUD OF THE DRAWINGS WE MADE FOR THIS. WE HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN STONES AND MADE A COLLECTION ALL YEAR OF THEM, MANY BEING FOSSILS. ANOTHER THING OF WHICH WE ARE PROUD IS THE NUMBER OF FINE READERS IN OUR ROOM.wE ARE GLAD WE HAVE A NICE LIBRARY OF BOOKS. EVERY ONE IS VERY INTERESTED IN IT AND USES IT CON- TINUALLY. THIS YEAR INAUGURATED OUR FIRST YEAR OF BEING A SEPARATE GRADE, AND IT HAS BEEN A MOST DELIGHTFUL YEAR. OUR ENTERING REGIS- TRATION IN SEPTEMBER WAS THIRTY THREE AND WE HAVE LOST BUT TWO MEMBERS SINCE THAT TIME MAKING OUR NET REGISTRATION AT PRESENT, THIRTY-ONE. HELEN HELTON AND GERALDINE WILDER ARE OUR TWO MEMBERS WHO HAVE MOVED AWAY FROM OUR DISTRICT. IT SO HAPPENS THAT HAS ENTERED OUR MIDST FROM THE THE SCHOOL YEAR. MOST ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE AND NEW EXPERIENCE TO MOST OF US AT NO ONE NEW BEGINNING OF WE HAD A AN ENTIRELV CHRISTMAS TIME. OUR GRADE TOOK PART IN THE CHRISTMAS OPERETTA HELD IN THE AUDITORIUM. THIS PROVED A MosT SUCCESSFUL PRESENTATION AND WE DISCOVERED SOME TRULY GREAT ACTORS AND ACTRESSES AMONG us.
