— DEEDS AND MISDEEDS RESUME The opening of the school year 1921-22 was conspicuous for its quiet¬ ness. The enrollment exceeded last year’s by twenty-five. Every class consisted of the maximum permitted by law excepting the 8A of last se¬ mester, which was a small class. Ow¬ ing to a demand for a second grade in this school district, Miss Fuhrman was transferred to the Riley Building primary grade and Miss Kern, to Cen¬ tral.. Miss Stevens, who was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Hel¬ ler’s resignation, was succeeded in the sixth grade by Miss Spangler who formerly taught in the county schools. Every teacher had a few extras to do this term.. The health crusade in charge of Miss Mutcheler was con¬ ducted in connection with her class work in hygiene and from the report of both parents and pupils it was pro¬ ductive of much good. Miss Sellemeyer gave extra art work to the pupils besides taking charge of the art exhibit at the close of the term. Miss Coffee presented the subject “Manners and Conduct’’ from the “Lit¬ tle Blue Book” besides directing the ei ghth grade play. Miss Stevens was assistant basket ball coach, also taught domestic science in the seventh and eighth grades. Mrs. Moore did extra work in com¬ position thus relieveing some of the over-burdened teachers. The teachers of the lower grades prepared an interesting Washington- Lincoln program which was given at the gym in February. The only festivity in which we en- dulged was a picnic for each 8A class. That of the mid-year class was held indoors but the spring class enjoyed theirs in Anderson’s grove. As we think back over the term whose beginning seems but yesterday we realize that we have spent a pleas¬ ant and profitable year. . EIGHTH GRADE PARTY As it is the custom of the 8A class to have an informal “get together” before leaving for high school, the little group that “made the grade” had a party at Central, Jan. 22. Much to the surprise and delight of the teachers, the girls, by the way, who know how to work, invited the teachers to be seated while they did the serving. And how these teachers did eat! Of course, Messers. Worth- mann and Brown are always at their best during this part of the program, but the lady teachers also distin¬ guished themselves. Miss Mutchler prepared steaming hot coffee which caused everyone to eat double his usual number of sandwiches. A pleasant social hour followed the luncheon. The boys arranged a few games and stunts which were much enjoyed. At about eight-thirty Mr. Brown in¬ vited the guests to go home as the teachers were almost “swamped” with work incident to the closing of the semester. They went feeling quite well pleased with themselves and the world for somebody (?) had found the certificates in the office and learn¬ ed who were freshmen. - • - The first thing at meal times is Grace; the last is Coffee.
