When school opened in September,we had thirty pupils in our room, thirteen enrolled in the first grade and seventeen ena rolled in the second grade. The first grade gained one new member, Glenn Parks, at Thanksgiving, but he transferred to Carey in March. Our room had charge of two chapel programs this year. The first one was at Hollowe'en, at which time we presented a play Hollowe'en Spells , and Mr. Rall, editor of The Daily Chief, spoke to the assembly. The next program was in March and we also took part in the Christmas Chapel program. A We were very happy to have a valentine box. Each pupil re- ceived a special valentine and a chocolate heart. The manual training boys made a reading table which we en- joy reading at very much. We also have a new bulletin board above the blackboard on which we displayed our School Circus and Dog Show. , It seems a long time yet, but we hope to be graduating in 1947 and 1948.

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

n STILL SITS THE SCHOOLHOUSE n The familiar scene of the old study hall con- jures up memories of happy school days spent at Edeno The Study Hall, the work shop of the student provides a quiet and stu- dious atmosphere where he can pursue his study. Attractive book eases containing the whole lib rary, to which new books are continually added ad orns the front of the st udy hall. By governing ourselves as we like to see others governed we maintain ex- emplary order during the study hours. The following two poems were selected from old copies of the Eden sch- ool paper 'I'he Flash . THE STUDY HALL GIDCK Tick-took! tick-tock! there on the wall, The minutes go slowly by. To every student iu'the study hall, lt's a memory that never will die. Their lives they are molding day by daY, As they go through the carefree hours. And parents pray they are learning the Way To meet life's heartaches and showers. 'ihe clock looks down on girl and boy, All too quickly the swift seconds fly, 'As he shares each sorrow and joy. Tick-took! tick-took! and then Goodbye. v MARJORIYE MLIJLER.
