' if 4 , . Flhr Eauinnia -:- 1925 -QQH , W , ,W -, , , ,Y ,, , W, ,YW The Primary Room held its quota of school parties. The first was held on October 29th and, of course, it was a Hallowe'en party. If you were ever a pupil in the Primary Room you may im- agine what opportunities for real fun a Hallowe'en party with all its stunts and decorations affords. Again on December 24th a party was held. Since this was a Christmas party you may believe that old Santa Claus helped us enjoy it. Candies and presents of course held their old place of honor as is traditional at Christmas parties. Evelyn W. Bradley Bunker Hill High School Illinois State Normal University Then on February 12th a valentine party was enjoyed. At this hearts, smiles and winks were exchanged in place of Christmas presents, and perhaps a few hearts beat a little harder than normal. The last party which we held was an Easter party on April 2nd. At this we entertained Mr. April Rabbit as a guest, who in turn furnished us with a most enjoyable time. Sometimes we may .qs , , -VYW HEI in . HY.. . .- ... -4190- forget our lessons but we have never forgotten any of our parties. The Primary Room holds the reputation of being a very attractive room, and since we believe that our sand table is responsible in a large way for this, perhaps you would be interested in a lit- tle description of it. Our sand table is about 3 feet wide and 6 feet long and tilled with white sand. The pupils cut different characters from cardboard, color them, and place them upright in the sand, thus forming clever and beautiful scenes. The first representation which we made was a Hallowe'en scene. Witches, black cats, and jok- ers were seen here in galore. Later we made a Pilgrim picture. In order to appreciate how the early Pilgrims landed, and lived through difficulties which would have driven us back to more comfortable quarters, you should have taken a look at our sand table. You might have learned more than by nosing into histories. In December we made a Christmas scene which was in harmony with our Christmas party. Then in February we made a scene of George Washington's life, which was quite appropriate for the month in which his birthday comes. This was changed to do credit to Abraham Lincoln. There you could have seen Lincoln's log cabin birth place and traced his advancement up into the president's chair. An Easter scene was also made to harmonize with our Easter party. Besides these, we made many scenes repre- sentative of countries which we studied in our geography. The Esquimos, Indians, Japanese, Africans and Hollanders all dwelt for some time upon our sand table. We are sure that they all felt at home there, for they were in their own customary surroundings as really as twenty-seven willing and capable little primary children could make them.

The second party was in the nature of a Christmas party, being under the auspices of the losing side in the Christmas Seal campaign. An enjoyable time was had by all. Our third party was held on Valentine's Day. It was also a farewell party for Vilette Meier and Avis Meier, for it was held on the day of their de- parture. Games were played and then valentines were distributed. CE. LJ Honor Roll and Flags Any pupil who has attained a monthly aver- age of 90 per cent or above, has his name on the Honor Roll.

Working in these walls ot' time: Some with massive deed and great. Some with ornaments of rime. Nothing useless is, or low, Each thing in its place is best, And what seemeth but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Time is with material filled: Our todays and yesterdays, Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these: Leave no yawning gaps between, Think not because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. - El CRONE E6 STUCKEY Davis, Illinois GENERAL MERCHANDISE Prices Right Satisfaction Our Aim Phone 2002 - El E1 BENNING S6 HELMTS DRY GOODS AND GROCERIES Davis, Illinois Phone No. 6 FLOUR AND FEEDS Oshkosh B'Gosh and Janesville Overalls Leader Brand Gasoline and Oils C ill
