BJ Posters and Booklets One phase of our school work is the making of posters and booklets. This year many sorts of posters were made. The Hallowe'en posters prov- ed to be especially well designed. Booklets of winter sports were made by the fifth grade. At Christmas nearly everyone made joke booklets. The seventh and eighth grades made hobby book- lets. These were very attractive. The sixth grade made game booklets. These were also well written. CK. BJ Health Exhibit All of the health posters this year were very fine but only the best ones were taken to the health exhibit which was held at Freeport during Institute week. Those whose posters were taken there were: Verna Tielkemeier, Helen Mench, Zelma DeGunther, Arvilla Fiene, Evelyn Keister, Marcette Schmitt,Willie Brault and Kendall Brad- ley. We were all very glad to hear that Verna Tielkemeier won first place. Her poster was neatly and artistically made. All the posters that were entered in the county exhibit were taken for ex- hibition in the state health work. This year there was an addition of rhymes, jingles and essays in the exhibit. Kendall Bradley received honorary mention in that line. CK. BJ Social The pupils of the intermediate room were en- tertained at three parties. The first was given as a reception to the fifth grade.

Viola Nath, Jason Afllerbaugh, Alvin DeGunther and Edwin Gunderson. ' The class party was held September 11, at the school house. The class was thoroughly initi- ated, but in return was well fed, so as a whole the experience was worth while after all. Soon after the opening day the class was organized. The following officers were elected: President, Alvin DeGuntherg Vice President, Ed- win Gunderson, Secretary and Treasurer, Ruth Eberly. For their colors the class chose pink and white: the Carnation was selected for the flower, the mot- to chosen was Dig. After 'being equipped with motto, colors and flower, the class began in earn- est to dig, thus answering their motto. Several members of the class have been on the honor roll since the beginning of the year and we hope to continue. We expect our class to prosper through the next three years and graduate with full honors. -. gho- -o . - m m m THOREN BROS. WM.
