Etta Anspaugh found a large bar of candy which had been hidden in the woods. After spending most of the afternoon in playing base¬ ball and other games, lunch was eaten on the banks of a creek. Spring Fever Spring fever is an awful thing For a feller to get in the spring, When he doesn’t want to go to school or anything, But likes to play out in the air, And hear the birds and crickets sing Spring fever is an awful thing. —Maxine Humbarger. -o- GRADE 5A—MISS MORAN Girls Martha Erma Butler Vera Clevenger Thelma Darr Gladys Doan Boys Robert Aeschlinran James Beavers John Ellis Espich Fred Foltz Junior Freeland Leroy Huffman James Harkless Seplrus Jackson Robert Johnson Hubert Krick Calvin Magley Harry Musser Bruce Raymond Woodrow Pearson Donald Reynolds Raymond Roop Robert Ruckman Edward Shoe Walter Summers Byron Tricker During the school year the pupils of Room 6 lost two of their classmates.

18 DEEDS AND MISDEEDS GRADE 5B—MISS McGATH At the beginning of the second semester thirty-three pupils began the 5B work. We lost one member when Ervin Baumann moved to the country March 15. Boys’ Day was a big event for our class. Several who were absent next day confessed to eating a little too much. They have all recovered, how¬ ever, and are looking forward to Boys’ Day next year. The girls also reported a good time after their picnic at Second Creek. We have enjoyed the Friday morn¬ ing chapel periods this term, and especially when the other rooms furn¬ ished the programs. -o——- 5A-6A—MISS GILBERT Buttercup Buttercup I think you are, Something like a little star Who has fallen, oh! so far, From the starry sky above For the little folks you love. — Ida Mae Steele.

The Honey Bee Out beneath the old pear tree Is the home of the honey bee. There they toil from morn till night Making their work a great delight. When the sun shines bright and warm Then the bees they buzz and swarm. Buzzing here and buzzing there Making music in the air. When the clover heads are white, The bees are working with all their might, Bringing home the sweetest honey, Just the same to us as money. When the North Wind begins to blow, And the days are cold with snow, Then the bees they go to rest, Snugged in their cozy nest. Here is a lesson we all should know How the bee does its work just so. Always be happy and full of glee, Just the same as the honey bee. —Myles Parrish. -o- THIS SMALL WORLD OF OURS One morning, in the city of Nash- ville, Tenn., I was sitting in front of a hotel. My parents were in the hotel paying bills and buying post¬ cards, while I was in the car packing our luggage. A young man came down the street and seeing such a queer-looking car stopped and looked at the license plate. After doing that he quietly walked up to the car window and said, “Howdy!” “Who in the name of ink might you you be?” I inquired. He asked, “Do you know anybody in Decatur, Indiana?” I replied, “Surely, I know myself.” “Well, who in the dickens are you?” he gasped. “Dick Schug,” I replied. “Well, I’m Merle Chrisman,” he said, and thereupon followed a visit of old friends. As we were ready to leave the city, we did not make the Chrisman family a personal call but Mother and Daddy held telephone conversations with them during which they extended greetings to all their Decatur friends. —Dick Schug. —-o-—— They had been out together the night before, and were comparing nothes in the morning. “I had a rotten time,” confessed Smith, “the missus jawed me for half an hour. How did you get on?” Jones groaned miserably. “You got off lightly,” he said. “You don’t know what it is like being mar¬ ried to a woman who has been a school teacher. She didn’t say much, but she made me sit up till I had writ¬ ten out ‘I must be home every night by 10 o’clock’ 100 times on the slate.”
