Each club studied, experimented and Hnally presented a little profam to the rest of the group of what they had learned. In the fall we also gave two short plays for the little school. At Christmas time we had another play called The Animals Christmas . We spent quite a lot of time making Christmas tree decorations made from pine cones, leaves, milk weed, pods, nuts, etc., which were decorated and painted gold and silver. Since Christmas we have been studying Pueblo Indians. We made a pueblo in the room out of cigar boxes and asbestos cement. The children also made and painted clay Indian figures, animals, people, etc., and planted cacti to go around the pueblo. We also made copper bracelets and Indian bowls. We are going to have an Indian play and make our own costumes. In addition we have two rabbits in the room. We feed them alfalfa, oats, carrots and lettuce. We have taken excursions to the zoo, the Historical Society, and the Field Museum. We moved up into the second floor. Our project was for each person to make an animal out of plaster and put him in his correct habitat. While we were supposedly resting in the gym, the girls made balls out of blanket fuzz. Sometimes someone would fall asleep - that was very funny. Entering: Tom Stromsen. 13

Our senior big brothers and sisters have been good to us. They gave the Santa Claus party for us and we liked that best of all. We have been studying about transportation. We made an engine out of an old barrel, and we took imaginary rides to distant places. Our nicest experience was a trip to the Illinois Central Roundhouse where we rode on the turntable and blew the horn on the Panama Limited. We made sugar cookies for County Fair. We decorated them too. Then we made a big sign that said we made themg you eat them. Our booth was one of the first to be sold out, and we think it was because of our sign. We have two large rooms in which to work. We use our north room for games, parties, and plays. We have lots of company in the third grade because we like visitors, and we have a place to entertain them. This year we were Indians. We had a large tepee and BigfChieffWhofPretends' Meyer visited us. We went on an excursion to a farm and the fish hatcherf ies. Our puppetfshows about WinniefthefPooh were a great success. There were always spelling-bees and arithmetic contests. Entering: Frannie, Mary Pierce. 14
