A little later two more children joined us, making thirty-five. Then Sally Sumeriskl moved away. Later two more children came, so to date we have thirty-six in our grade. About a week after school started Paul Gavel was stricken with infantile paralysis. We often wrote letters to cheer him and also other children who were ill. In October, our room took on an Indian atmosphere. We with the kind assistance of Mr. Dash, constructed a Wigwam large enough in which to play. It was with much regret that we had to take it down. We read, told, and wrote Indian stories and drew several Indian pictures, which are included in our Indian booklets. Several snapshots were .Maskell,A.Jach1mow1cz,V.Erhardt .Dunn,E.W1edr1ch,E.Jenkins,D.Wood,D.Maskell,C.McCracken,K.Coughl1n,P.Reckard D 28 GQADE.O taken of the boys and girls near the Wigwam. In addition to our regular classes of Reading, Manuscript, Writing, Arithmetic, Spelling, Health, and English, we enjoy our special classes of Music and Gym, once a week, and Art twice a week. In February, some of our boys and girls took part in a play called 'February Daysu, which was given for the P.T.A. on Tuesday, February twenty-seventh. We enjoyed practis- ing for this play with the first grade. ThiB was of value to our boys and girls in learn- ing to work with other groups. x In second grade we try to learn to live with other children by being fair in our work and play, honest, courteous, and kind to others. We also strive to be clean and neat, respectful of other's property, and to do our part at all times.

Here is a sample of our poetry: The Snowstorm A big gray cloud came up one day, The snow began to fly, It covered all the trees and hills, And snowflakes filled the sky. Dick Test The Cloud I saw a lamb up in the sky, As a cloud went sailing by, It was a pretty sight, All flsecy and white. Suzanne Bonney The Wind I like to listen to the wind, It sounds like a lions roar, Every night when I'm asleep He comes un to my door. Donald Baker The Rainbow I saw a little rainbow, It's pretty, I can see, But when I saw it fade away I sa1d,UThat's what I'd like to be.N Margaret Pridmore
