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. THOSE rRoM ouR FIRST GRADE WHO HAD SPEAKING PARTS WERE HAROLD WOLFE, LEON NIOKERSON, JAMES ACENOWR, JEANNETTE MIDDLETON, CHARLOTTE MOSHIER, JOYCE BASTAIN ESTHER HO0VER,BEVERLY BARRDWS. THESE LITTLE BOLKS MADE THE Mosr DELIGHTEUL LITTLE DOLLS. THE REST or us WERE IN THE cHoRuS AND HELPED T0 SING ALL THE SONGS.

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.

THERE WERE THIRTY-FIvE IN THE THIRD GRADE AND EIGHT THE FIFTH GRADE. AT PRESENT ouR REGISTRA STANDS AT FORTY-TWO. 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.

SEPTEMBER I2--THIS AFTERNOON MY AUDITORIUM WAS FILLED wITH THE ENTHUSIASTIC SCHOOL KIDS. THE OCCASION WAS THE FIRST ASSEMBLY PROGRAM OF THE YEAR. MR. MARRIOTT, FROM ROCHESTER, WAS THE SPEAKER. HE GAVE US AN EXCELLENT TALK ON THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS RELATING TO THE USE OF ALCOHOL AND THE EFFECTS ON THE HUMAN BODY AND MIND. ONE OF HIS ILLUSTRATIONS THAT STANDS OUT IN MANY OF THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE wHO HEARD HIM WAS THAT OFTEN AN INTOXICATED DRIVER SEES DOUBLE. IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT IF HE SHOULD COME T0 A BRIDGE, AND SEE Two OF THEM IN FRONT OF HIM, HE COULD EASILY TAKE THE WRONG ONE, AND THEN WHAT! OCTOBER IO--WHEEI I HELD MY BREATH ALL EVENING HOPING THAT THAT wONDERFUL MAGICIAN, SIR FELIx KORIM WOULDN'T CHANGE ME INTO A RABBIT OR SOMETHING. HE GAVE US A MOST INTERESTING DEMONSTRATION OF 'MAGICu AND PAINTED SOME BEAUTIFUL PICTURES WITH COLORED SAND. THE SHOw WAS FOR THE BENEFIT OF SENIOR CLASS. OCTOBER I8--ANOTHER ASSEMBLY PROGRAM.POST- MASTER CARL BAKER WAS GUEST SPEAKER. HE TOLD us ABOUT THE BIGGEST BUSINESS IN THE WORLD, THE UNITED STATES MAIL. OCTOBER 27--'THE GOBLINS wILL GET YOU IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT,' SO THEY SAY. WELL, I HAD A MOST ENJOYABLE EVENING WONDERING WHO HAS wHO AND wHY AT THE BIG SCHOOL HALLOWE'EN PARTY. MR. MCDERMID wAS THE BEST DISGUISED. BOB BROWN wAS THE MOST ORIGINAL. JEAN BUTTERFIELD HAS THE PRETTIEST. GEORGIA ANDREWS WAS THE FUNNIEST. WAS I SHOCKED WHEN I RECOGNIZED THE 'MASTER OF CEREMONIESH T0 BE ONE OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED OF THE FACULTY MEMBERS-MR. IVES. NOVEMBER 8--MR. NICKERSON GAVE US A TALK ON EDUCATION. HE STRESSED THAT EACH PUPIL SHOULD SERIOUSLY ASK HIMSELF: UWHY AM I HERET' NOVEMBER I4--EVERYONE IN SCHOOL HAD HIS PICTURE TAKEN INDIVIDUALLY. I FEEL POSITIVELY SLIGHTED. I THINK I SHOULD HAD MINE TAKEN, 'CAUSE AFTER ALL I DON'T THINK I'M SO BAD LOOKIN' MYSELF. NOVEMBER I7-IB--THE SENIOR CLASS PRESENTED THE PLAY, 'BUTTON,BUTTON.u IT WAS JUST LOADS OF FUN. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A GOOD PLAY T0 WARM UP A PEHSON'S SPIRITS. NOVEMBER 2O-- 'WHO IS SHE?u MISS LUCILLE ELMORE WITH DAVID BARTLEY, HER BARITONE, PUT ON A VERY EXCELLENT ASSEMBLY SHOH. HER POWERS AS A VENTRILOQUIST ARE OUT OF THE ORDINARY. AND CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, ONCE I LOOKED AT MISS ELMORE AND SHE WAS A LITTLE SCHOOL GIRL WITH A BIG RED RIBBON, SHORT DRESS, AND THEN, RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES SHE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WAS AN OLD GRANDMOTHER.I'M SURE WE ALL ENJOY- ED THE VERY CONVINCING HORSELESS CARRIAGE RIDE AND THE DEAcoN's SERMON. GUS AND SUSIE MADE A BIG IMPRESSION ON THE VOUNGER AUDIENCE NOVEMBER 23-27--EVERYBODY HAS DESERTED ME. LOADS OF TURREYS HERE CONSUMED OVER VACATION, BUT I DIDN'T EVEN AS MUCH AS SEE A TURKEY. SOMEHOW OR OTHER I FELT ALL LEFT OUT IN THE COLD- DECEMBER 9--THE SENIORS nSTEPPED OUTW. THEY ATTENDEO THE PLAY UOUR TOwN' BY THORNTON WILDER, BY THE DRAMATIC DEPARTMENT OF ITHACA COLLEGE.

DECEMBER I9--OUR MOST DIGNIFIED FACULTY HELD THEIR CHRISTMAS PARTY. BUT THEY WERE ALL OFF THEIR DIGNITY FOR TONIGHT, AND WHAT THEY DlDN'T THINK OF ISN'T WORTH MENTIONING. DECEMBER 22--TODAY I WAS REMINDED OF THE TIME wHEN I USED T0 READ FAIRY STORIES. THE CHRISTMAS OPERETTA- 'IN QUEST OF SANTA CLAUSH wAS PRODUCED BY THE FIRST SIX GRADES. IT WAS VERY NICELV DIRECTED BY MRS.IvES AND MISS PRENTICE. THIS FAIRY STORY BROUGHT OUT THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS. JANE, A LITTLE GIRL WHO IS ANXIOUS TO FIND SANTA CLAUS STARTS OFF IN SEARCH OF HIM. SHE KNOWS HE LIVES IN THE LAND OF THE NORTH STARS SO SHE ASKS ALL THE WOODSPEOPLE TO DIRECT HER. DECEMBER 22--I FEEL LIKE THE 'SPIRIT OF CHRISTlASn MYSELF WITH ALL THE PRETTY CHRISTMAS TREES AND DECORATIONS. DECEMBER 23--DID SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT BEING LONESOMET NOT TODAY. TODAY wAS THE COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS PARTY. ABOUT 300 CHILDREN WERE HERE AND HAD A GOOD TIME. HTHE SCHOOL MASTER' wAS A FEATURE MOVING PICTURE, WITH AN ADDED CHRISTMAS CARTOON WITH SANTA AND HIS REINDEER, AND THE LITTLE TIN SOLDIERS, AND wHAT NOT. I CERTAINLY wAS GLAD MY CHIMNEV wAS CLEANED OUT GOOD BECAUSE SANTA STOPPED BY, TOO. HE DISTRIBUTED CANDY, POPCORN, ORANGES, AND TOYS T0 THE CHILDREN. THE BOY SCOUTS REPAIRED AND PAINTED MANY TOYS AND THE GIRL SCOUTS HELPED IN DRESSING DOLLS. EVEN THOUGH C. C. S. CANNOT BOAST OF A SPACIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL CAFETERIA AND KITCHEN, THE STUDENTS FOR TwELvE WEEKS CONVERTED THE HOMEMAKING DEPARTMENT AND NEIGHBORING CLASS ROOM INTO A CONVENIENT AND EFFICIENT PLACE FOR SERVING AND EATING SCHOOL LUNCHES. LUNCHES WERE PREPARED AND SERVED BY GIRLS FROM SENIOR CLASS,JUNIOR CLASS AND HOMEMAKING A CLASS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF MISS HELEN BLACKMAN, HOMEMAKING TEACHER. EACH GROUP PREPARED THE LUNCHES FOR A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. AN AVERAGE OF 58 STUDENTS AND FACULTY CARRIED THEIR BOTTLE OF MILK, SANDWICHES AND HOT DISH INTO THE NEIGHBORING CLASS ROOM ON SMALL TRAYS PURCHASED ESPECIALLY FOR THAT PURPOSE.
