P Fifth 8 Sixth Grades We have had an enjoyable time, and have tried to fill our place in the activities of the school during this year, 1956-'37. We have presented for the enjoyment of the school, two chapel pro- grams. The first program was presented on Columbus Day. The lead- ing characters of the play, 'Columbus Discovers a New Landn, were Loren Kuenzli, Wayne Traxler, and Jack Swartz. The second program was presented on Lincoln's Birthday. Rev. Maurer conducted the devo- tionals, and the room presented the play Hhincoln's Birthday Party.H In order to break the monotony of every day school activity, the boys of the fifth and sixth grades organized a Hpest-huntn. We had an amusing time collecting tails and heads. The losers banquets d the winners. , ' We, also, wish to express our appreciation to those who were re- sponsible for the added equipment which we have received during the year. Some of the things which we have received are bulletin boards above the blackboard, encyclopedia, new reading books, and maps. These things we find are of value to us in our study activity. Among our group we have a number of new faces this year. The names of these pupils are, Robert Shock, Harley Swinehart, Betty Brecount, Floren Long, John Uarr, Anna Belle Holdcraft, and Catherine Crist. Although it was a Upainful experienceu, we are quite proud of our record in the UEvery Pupil Test.n Our group took tests in arithmetic geography, and English. In all of these subjects, we equal to the average medium made by all the boys and girls who took the test. In some of the tests our medium was above the average state medium.

Third 3 Fourth Grades Last September when school started there were twenty-five in our room, seventeen in the fourth grade, and eight in the third grade. However, in early November, Gene Hill left to go to Florida. We were very sorry to have him leave, but we knew that he had a de- lightful trip in store for him. Often we have been pleasantly surprised with a message from Gene. Soon Maxine Parks and Lloyd Carr enrolled in the third grade. Later in the month of December Charles Bixler joined us, so our present enrollment is twenty seven. There are eighteen boys in our group, so of course we play ball whenever possible. This winter we had several snow fights which were very exciting. The girls jump rope and play house. There are also many other games which we play. At Christmas time we had a large beautifully lighted auidecorat- ed evergreen tree in the hall. Our room contributed to the annual Christmas program and we exchanged gifts as usual. We had lots of fun! We celebrated St. Valentine's Day with a party and a valentine box. Many pretty valentines were received. Each child made a special valentine to give to someone. Most of us gave the valen- tlnes to our mothers. The special days are pleasant ones, but we are a happy group be- cause we enjoy doing our work. Reading is especially interesting to us. Many of the stories tell about famous people, animals and characters found in the make believe world. All the boys and girls are now looking forward to the summer va- cation which is a few weeks away. s Third Grade Mable Grossman, Jim Frost, Louise Kollar, Norma-Traxler, Stanley Roush, Dorothy Brecount, Earl Sipe, Maxine Parks, Lloyd Carr, Ray- mond Cramer. - Fourth Grade Leland Lehnhart, Neva Jean Holdcraft, Donald Pool, Ruth Black- burn, Teddy Eckleberry, Jack Wilson, Charles Bixler, Glen Swerleln Dwight Linn, Qohn Boucher, Edwin Secoy Wayne Pool, Charles Romich Betty Shock, Uharles DeBolt, Ruthanna Swartz, Robert Sipe. 4
