SCHOOL OTES looks as if it will be continued from year to year as a feature of the sports department of the junior School. In addition, many new pieces of play equipment were presented to thi: young folk. When the annual carnival was held in October the lower school was quick to re- spond to the call of the P.T.A. for articles to sell at the various booths at the fair. The Ifirst Grade made beautiful hammocks that were woven by the boys and girlsg the other classes made and donated thread holders, kitchen charts, and many other articles. All proceeds were turned over to the carnival committee. The shop program was open to an in- creased number of students this year. All of those who took part and those who had the advantage of using the new machines felt an increased pride and delight in seeing their work turned out to perfection, Miss Utt, art director, instructed the boys how to draw the latest aeroplanes used in our every day life and in our war effort. This was a very popular course. Trips, this year, were taken to many points of interest in this area. Washingtonys Head- quarters at Morristown and The Newark News Building in Newark proved to be the most interesting of the lot. The young children also toured the campus in search of many objects that they were studying. The junior School closed as usual on june Sth. with its customary closing exercises. Parents and friends attended as the pupils from the Sixth Grade were graduated to the upper school. W. G.

I Page 20 JU 1012 This year the boys of the Junior School showed an increased interest in the various school projects in which they took part. From all reports heard, they particularly enjoyed the many inter- esting assemblies presented to them by fellow students and by guests of the school. During the fall term they formed the chorus in the annual Christmas pageant presented in the gym- nasium in conjunction with the boys of the Senior School who played the solo parts. The younger fellows also presented, later in the year, to the entire school body a play entitled The Court- ship of Miles Standish. The Fourth and Fifth Grades had a new teacher, Mrs. Hobbs, who conducted many of the above mentioned activities and who added many new features to the general course of study. A lit- erature contest was conducted among the students of the Sixth, Fifth, and Fourth Grades in order to see who could read the most and the best books of fiction and non-fiction, selected from a list prepared by Mrs. Hobbs for this contest. At the time of writing the winner had not as yet been announced. In addition to the literature contest, an increased intermural program was carried out by Mr. Harvey Gibson, physical director of the Junior School, in which the contestants were divided into two groups, the red team and the blue team. The winners in the football contest were awarded prizes at the annual Carteret Father and Son Din- ner, held in December. The program was continued into the basketball season under the same system in which the winning team received new laurels. From the reports of the success of this program, it

We sincerely hope that next year's testi- monial dinners are not interrupted by the clashing of coins and clicking of greenbacks. Batson! The only one who publically answers Doctor Hinton's questions. What would happen if Mr. Lane ever dis- agreed with Brad? We all sincerely wish Bo the best of luck in the Air Corps. What would ever happen to a certain member of the Senior Class if his foot ever slipped off ye old brass rail? What would happen if Swissy ever stopped using his pet expression in mixed company? . What brings around the blushing faces and silly giggles between Mrs. Ely and Mr. Laity? The most popular readings in the Carteret Library, Life, Isle of Bali! Bud Heywood seems to be very upset over gas rationing. The other day he was heard asking why can't East Orange be moved closer to his home. The boys from Montclair also seem rather disturbed over the fact that they have to travel such a long distance to school and can't use their cars for other reasons. Notice to all Senior School teachers! For better results in the pupil's work we recom- mend the permanent camouflaging of Miss Wildey and Miss Koithan. V What happened to tthe Inter-School Dance? What does Jack Frenaye do over week- ends? We never see him! ' What would happen if Doctor Hinton kept his designated appointments? Alfred Saupe who writes gossip for the school newspaper deserves mention here, be- cause he has been able to keep his name out of print. It certainly deserves to be there. What would happen if Mr. Edgerton's special Spanish class ever did their home work? just what draft dodgers are the visiting soldiers looking for? x , 4 ' . i 1 u Teachers! If you are ever lmxssxng any pupils from class just phone over to Max- sonis Tavern. What would happen if Mr. Laity ever stayed on the subject of sociology in his sociology class? What would happen if Homer could sing?
