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.

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.

We have taken several field trips, our major one being a trip to Washington, D. C. on the train. We had lots of fun at the Houston Hotel where we stayed for three nights. Our chaperones, Mr. Howe and Mrs. Scappucci, took us to many interesting places, such as the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Iwo-Jima Monument, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington, Nike Base, Mount Vernon, and the Museum of Natural History. We have also had many projects to work on this year. Mrs. Bogguss, who left us at Easter with great expectations , had given us a country of our choice to report on for geog- raphy. Mrs. Frech, our history teacher, also gave us a subject of our choice to work on. The choice we had included castle and tapestry making, writing a play, and making mosaic. We have had lots of parties, one, at the end of the year, at the Municipal Swimming Pool which included swimming and a cookout. We also had a party on May 6th honoring Mr. Evans on his birthday. According to Mr. Evans, our homeroom teacher, we have not learned much this year, but we feel that we have ac- complished quite a lot. We just hope that next year's Sixth Grade will learn as much as we have.
