We greatly assisted our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Storey, by taking turns in passing out materials, collecting papers, and helping with other schoolroom duties. Our exhibit at the Science Fair was on vertebrates. We had fun telling about the kinds of animals we had on display. When the Student Council put on a Book Find , we brought in many books, maps, and records. We were very surprised to learn that we had won the prize for collecting the most articles for the library. We enjoyed parties at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christ- mas time, and on Valentine's Day, but we received the most pleasure when we took gifts and small decorated Christmas trees to the County Home. On May Day, our class joined the Fifth Grade to dance two Russian dances. We enjoyed doing them for the May Court, and we hope that the spectators enjoyed them, too. Our class officers were Ben Trotter, Ken O'l-lerron, Chip Lovell, and Phyllis Woodward, and the grade mothers were Mrs. Trotter and Mrs. Holbrook. On May 8th, the class gave a surprise party for the mothers. The children recited poetry and served refreshments. We have enjoyed this year and its experiences and look forward greatly to being in the Fifth Grade.

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.

FIFTH GRADE The Fifth Grade of Country Day School has had an ex- citing year and has accomplished very much. We had four new pupils join our class. They were Jenks Bagby, Suzanne Sauter, Jay Schuber, and John Stewart. The Fifth Graders chosen as class officers were Eddie Hipp, president, Shelley Welton, vice-president, and Jenks Bagby, secretary. Charles Willard was our representative to the Student Council, and Mia Bray was elected cheerleader. When Christmas came, we had a program. The girls sang, and we all played games. We went to the Old Folk's Home, gave them presents and sang to them. Our grade mothers, Mrs. Hipp and Mrs. Thompson, arranged the refreshments for our Christmas and Valentine parties. They also helped with the trip to Kings Mountain where we saw many historical monuments of the Revolution- ary War. We have accomplished a great deal in our schoolwork, too. In geography, we have made illustrated booklets of two states and scrapbooks of the two newest states of the United States. In arithmetic, we have studied fractions. ln science, we made both flower gardens and individual vegetable gardens. At the Science Fair, we had three projects on molecules, con- servation, and navigation. We all took part in Sports Day and did a Russian dance and song for May Day. We are very proud of Susan who won a school certificate for outstanding achievement in Sports Day. The Fifth Grade has certainly had a wonderful time this year.
