DEEDS AND MISDEEDS DAVE RICE Mr. Rice is the director of the Decatur Junior Band. He has de¬ veloped a fine organization and Central is proud of the fact that quite a few of the band members are from our school. -o-- MISS MORAN After teaching the first semester, Miss Moran was forced to take a leave of absence because of ill health. She spent several weeks in a sanitarium and though much improved in health thought it wise to rest so that she might be fully recovered and ready for next year’s school. The pupils of Room 6 join in wishing for Miss Moran a comp ets recovery of health. -o- FACULTY ADVICE Hhard work has been invented a long time, and in ' a good many thous¬ and years, nobody has ever been able to invent a satisfactory substitute for it.

DEEDS AND MISDEEDS SPECIAL, ROOM First Row: Robert Kreischer, Elmer Ralston, Albert Spencer, Edgar Jackson. Second Row: Violet Ritter, Leona Smith, Frank Brunner, Pauline Hilyard, David Tumbleson, Raymond Diehl. Third Row: Georgia Hower, Floyd Hitchcock, Julia Andrews, Pansy Smith, Clarence Baring, Irene Tope. SPECIAL ROOM The pupils in this room spent one period each day in dicing handiwork. Many clever and useful articles were made during this time. The boys’ first project was that of sawing out and painting toy animals. These animals were fastened to carts of original design made from cigar boxes. After the boys became accustomed to the use of the coping saws, they were allowed to make more difficult things, such as, paper knives, parrots, dress hangers, doorstops, Dutch boy and girl designs were used for many of the articles. Through this work the boys gained skill in the use of hammer, saw, and paint brushes. The girls made many interesting things also. Blocks for pillow tops were embroidered and then set to¬ gether with bright pink, yellow and blue materials. They made pretty vases by pasting bright colored papers on glass bottles and s’chellacing them. Several girls worked together in making a nine patch quilt top from bright pink, blue and yellow gingham. The top was sold and the money used to buy other sewing supplies. Cloth animals and dolls embroider¬ ed and stuffed made clever tops. By the end of the term each girl MISS GLENNYS ELZEY Miss Elzey has been doing remark¬ able work with the special room and has been interested in the pupils’ work.
