PRIMARY OOM NEWS It was Monday, Sept, 7, and eleven first grade boys and girls assembled in the primary room for their very first day of school. In the group were: six boys and five girls---Emil Settje, Merle Busjahn, Gary Benting, Gordon Schulte, Donne Munson, and Alan DeBoerg Elaine De Boer, Marie Munson, Jean Loof, Margaret Thlele, and Bar- bara Eliason. Margaret Thlele dropped out at the end of the first six weeks to attend school in Milbank. The second grade class were the four pupils who had started in the first grade---Alvin Settje, Robert Poel, Larry De Clercq, and Helen Wenck. Likewise, the third grade class was made up of the same group as in the previous yearsw--Paul DeBoer, Larry Rohlfs, Sharon De Clercq, Richard Eliason, and Earl Schultz. , To learn to read and to enjoy the many fine books we have for class work and leisure reading has been our greatest aim. If each one can do that, he may feel that his school year was very good. Some of the pupils have read many more books than the required number of reading texts. It has not been all work, however, as we've enjoyed gittle parties on Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's ay. Many of the boys and girls remembered his class mates on his birthday be bringing treats for everyone. Story telling was the project in declamatory con- tests for Play Day. Each pupil learned a story and told it in the room contest. With mumps, measles, and chicken pox to plague us, the attendance was not good. No pupil had perfect atten- dance. Everyone has worked hard and has enjoyed his work, so the year has been good in every way. GIRLS ACTIVITIES The Glee Club, directed by Mrs. James Jordre, met regularly on Wednesday for music, and on Friday for work in baking and cooking. On each Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday the girls played volley ball in the winter months and soft ball in the spring and fall. Officers for the G. A. A. this year were president, Nancy Hoothg vice-president, Judy Bellke, and secretary- treasurer, Helen Ann Rell.
