r Pet Day was held May 15, in connection with a vreading' projects Cats, dogs, hens and rabbits made up the pet parade. Measles, colds and nflun kept many of our pupils at home for many days throughout the year. we were very sorry to have one pupil, Chris Effken contract rheumatic fever. we missed him so much in our claesss,n but we were pleased he kept up with his homework so well. Our room enjoyed the visits of many Mothers, grandmothers, aunts, brothers and sisters during the past year. we like to have our relatives and friends see us in action and hope their interest will continue as we progress in our school. ' ' 1 O -' 2,2 CD 1 ILNDERGARTEN Eighteen nfive-year-oldsn entered the new school building in Septem- ber l95B, beginning their first year of school life. Many illnesses plagued this class during their introductory year to- wards education. A number of students suffered from chicken pox, three- day measles, flu, colds, strep throats, ear aches, and bronchitis. Two students, Randy Holscher and Don Wellensiek, were ill a number of weeks with rheumatic fever. I Bruce Noerrlinger seemed to be the healthiest of the lot. He was neither absent nor tardy during the entire year. Many important events occurred during the year. Each pupil brought treats for the rest of the room on their birthday. 1 Those bbeervigg birth anniversaries during the summer treated fellow classmates during the school year so that every one could celebrate their nspecialn day together. Halloween was observed by the annual masquerade and parade through the streets downtown. Lunch and treats were given the students by the teacher upon their return to the school room. At Christmas, gifts -were made for the parents and carefully carried home. The children drew names and exchanged gifts at their Christmas party. TWSantaU'served.lunhhi-and gave each child a bag of candy. we sang USanta Claus is Comin' to Townn and nAway in a Mangern in the big Christmas musical presented by the entire school. Valentines were made and colored and a trip to the post- office to mail them to parents was another high light. It was awfully hard to keep this a secret from home folks until the mai1Tarrived.on Valentine's Day. The Valentine party, at school, consisted mainly of opening the nmail boxesu, envelopes gaily colored and decorated with Val- entine designs, and seeing all the pretty Valentines and candies from all of their classmates and friends. Mrs Doeden served lunch and gave each of us a little candy treat. Pretty cards were cut out and colored for parents at Easter time. Favors wereemadecforrpatientswin-thh3Johhson County Hospital.

Quite a large number of nursery rhymes, action songs, seasonal sam and other songs were learned during the year. we completed several reading and number readiness books and other activities. A number of new toys were added to our supply of equipment. Two parakeets, Dixie and Pixie, provided much enjoyment for us. we are early looking forward to a few weeks of su mer vacation and then toward being in the first grade next fall.
