On Wednesday evening, the latter part of September, we left the school-house for a weiner roast in the woods. After “working up an appetite by playing games, we roasted our weiners and ate our supper, returning at dusk, very tired, but happy. Our Hallowe’en party furnished the opportunity to dress up as witches, ghosts, etc. Popcorn and apples were served. On November 8 we added a new member to our class. Ernest Allen, who had recently moved here from Bennington Township, placed his name on our Class Roll. Our Christmas Entertainment took the form of a Christmas Ladder. Everyone was remembered and the afternoon was spent in toasting marshmallows and playing games. On April 6th we had planned a picnic and weiner roast in the woods, but because of rain it was held at the schoolhouse instead. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves in spite of the weather. Miss Stone was a guest. We have organized a Friday Afternoon Club and a short Literary Program is given each Friday P. M. from 3:00 to 3:30. Page nineteen

We were soon informed that the only place that could be found for us was in the Baptist church basement. After we had been in the basement about two months, news reached us that a rural school building was being moved in. Our hearts were saddened when we learned that the tractor had broken that was moving the school house, but in about a week we saw the rural schoolhouse crawling slowly up the hill. Mrs. Peck was soon persuaded that it was her duty to move into the rural school building, and let us move into Pleasant Hill building. We were delighted to get on the school campus and were soon a happy and contented bunch, after we were settled. We were busy with our work but we are steadily looking forward to our next move, which will be into the new Dunkerton Consolidated School. Page eighteen

But in about two months we were ruthlessly routed from our comfortable quarters and transferred to the small schoolhouse west of the High School. Then our troubles began all over again. On returning from our Christmas vacation we were very much surprised to learn that our teacher, Mrs. Peck, had become Mrs. McCoy. The first of February she resigned and Miss Mathes of Cedar Falls became our new teacher. We had a Valentine Box and Lincoln and Washington program. The program being enjoyed with all the grades in the Grammar Grade room. Page twenty
