OCDL NOTES tion, while Mrs. Stock will be in charge of the construc- tion of the operetta. The first grade has been planting a garden on the cam- pus. Each boy has his own private garden and after the work, they enjoy a cooling nap under the shade of the trees. In the latter part of February with the aid of Mr. Grayson, the second grade put on an operetta based on a grocery store scene followed by a party. Having been organ- ized by Miss Wildey, the boys put on a very amusing per- formance. The characters were: john Swaine, host, john Witsell and Billy Klehm, guestsg Tommy Murray, grocer. Another unique presentation by the junior School was a radio broadcast organized through the efficent work of Mrs. Wasasier. Having broadcasted from CSFB lCar- teret School for Boysl, the program was conducted by Laddie Fox, who took care of the commercials, and Sandy Taylor, who introduced the artists. As has always been the custom in the past the junior School participated in the Carol Service before the Christ- mas vacation, singing the old and loved carols in a true appreciation of the Christmas spirit. The feature attraction of the fourth grade came when, with the able assistance again of Mrs. Wasasier, they put on a Mexican play after having their room decorated in true Mexican style for several months. The characters were as follows: Sr. Manuel -Louis Henston, Sra. Rosita'f- Peter Walowit, Los Ninos juna -C-ale Stokes, juanita -john Ferguson, Sr, Carlos --Carl Schweinler, and Sra. Elena -George Lawrence. The junior School made trips to the Museum of Nat- ural History, the Newark Museum, Alderney Dairy Co., World's Fair, and Central Park Zoo, besides seeing several interesting movies of places which were too far away to see. sf

.-4 240 JUNICDR SCH The junior School year was featured by several out- standing assemblies, some put on by the school as a whole and others by the separate classes, Without the efficient supervision of Mrs. Stock, Mrs. Wasasier, and Mr. Cray- son, these programs might never have been successfully accomplished. Perhaps the most outstanding event of the year was the Knighthood of Youth Dinner, which featured Mrs. Wadsworth, the National President of the organization. The meeting was held on October 29, in the Carteret School gymnasium. It was carried on in the regular parlia- mentary procedure with President Paul Scheerer presiding and Secretary Larry Norton reading the minutes. Mrs. Wadsworth's talk brought out the value of this sort of education and encouraged the boys to continue it. The meeting was attended by over sixty relatives of the boys in the fourth and fifth grades. The officers of the society were: Paul Scheerer, pres- identg Tony Heath, vice-president: Larry Norton, secretary: Roger Cunliffe, treasurer. The chairmen of the various committees were: Lyndon Peer, librarian: Charles Roemer, entertainment, Mrs. Stock, Lady of the Castle. Poetry assemblies were given throughout the year by the fourth and fifth grades. Some of the outstanding poems were The World's End by Larry Norton, Civil War by Lyndon Peer, Awakening by Dick Landon, and Fight On by Donald Murray. just before the spring vacation an interlass debate was put on by the fourth and fifth grades, the fifth emerg- ing victorious by a mere half point. Donald Matheson, Alan Echikson, and Richard Wagman represented the fourth grade, while Donald Murray, Emil Stroth, and Charles Roemer argued for the fifth. At the end of the year the junior School will present a major operetta. Mr. Grayson will teach music composi-
