Though we played hard, our studies always came first. As the year progressed, we discovered three big challenges. The mastery of borrowing and carrying and proving our answers correct intrigued us all. And of course, learning to write in script was the pride of all of us. Our third challenge turned out to be a very unusual thing which appeared one day in March. After much ohh- ing and ahh-ing, we learned that Mr, It was a model of the human torso, complete with removable organs. Soon, we were able to discuss the organs in our body. It was exciting to be able to trace the digestion of our food. We were very sorry to see Mr. It leave us. A trip to Dr. Reid's Clinic climaxed our study of the human body. Other field trips included a walk to locate leavesg a trip through Russell's Bakery, complete with a treat, and a most interesting tour through the main branch library. Needless to say, we were very pleased with ourselves for winning first place in the Lower School in the Book Find. Mrs. Winters came to us in April as our new teacher and guided and taught us through the excitement of Sports Day, May Day, and the completion of Second Grade.

I FIRST GRADE Twenty-two First Graders have had a stimulating and interesting nine months covering everything from Arithmetic to Zoology. September began with many interesting activities that helped us get ready for all the things we would learn about reading, science, numbers, art, writing, music, French, and language development. In October, we turned from happy six-year-olds to scarey witches and goblins in order to take part in the Halloween parade and party. November found us showing our appreciation for all the things we had through original stories and our Thanksgiving offerings. The excitement of the Christmas breakfast and John Stroud's surprise did not keep us from getting a solid under- standing of the phonetics that were started in the fall. January was a month of hard work, many birthdays, and our French program. February was a happy combination of Valentines and pets. The First Grade broadened its science concepts by the acquisition of three snakes, a hamster, two mice, two rats, and Mr. and Mrs. Fish. Spring vacation at the end of March was an inspiration to work even harder in the three R's and to get our Five Sensesn ready for the Science Fair. April brought Mrs. Hagen, our games teacher, and lots of physical preparation and high hopes for blue ribbons at Sports Day. May gave us an opportunity to show our proficiency in French as we rode our horses into Paris for May Day. We ended the year with a music program and a trip to the library to get Second Grade books for our summer reading.

The Third Grade has had a very busy schedule. We have had a wonderful time with parties and have learned a great deal in our studies. This year we have placed a heavy accent on our reading program. A great windfall of books arrived for our use from the school-wide book find. Our library also received a healthy boost when we were presented a set of The World Book Encyclopedia. This has been a reliable source for our class in almost every subject. The Science Fair was a culmination of our year's work in science. At Thanksgiving, we took an interesting trip to Price's Turkey Farm. On the morning of Sports Day, we sang a group of songs in Assembly for the upper grades. Then we got busy and were able to claim a fair share of the blue, red, and white ribbons awarded for skill in athletics. Pets' Day gave us an opportunity to display the pride- and-joys of many a household. Talented dogs and racing chickens furnished much entertainment and material for oral reports. Our May Day offering was a Swedish polka and song for our Queen and her court. We were furnished beautiful cos- tumes which brightened our dance immensely. Highlights along the pleasure way have been our Hallo- ween Day costume parade, the Christmas tree and gifts, a Valentine box, an Easter egg hunt, our trip to the Nature Museum, and frequent picnics which Mrs. Gant provided. Our class officers were Henry Sloan, Bruce Thompson, ,lane Bolles, and I-Iarrictte Seifart. Fin! Row, Sllling: Bruce Thompson, jimmy Horn.
