Hammer, hammer, bang, bang. There goes that noise again. It's the Fourth grade building their oihces and group rooms for their newspaper, cartography, weaving, and science clubs. But behind all of this noise, there is a lot of work going on. We are learning to speed in arithmetic. Our spelling and writing are improving. We give Dlays, acting out myths and stories from history. In the sunroom we have many books. Some of us go to the library, others to the cubby hole, and some to the top of the high bookcase, to read. The five typewriters are kept busy typing stories for our magazine, The music programs in our room are fun. Several of us can play the piano and sometimes we sing. -Ierry's father has taken very good colored movies of our play, Many Moons . Our modern dance helped to make this play more lively. For Christmas we received a victrola from Judy and it has helped us in our plays, with French records and dances. Our monthly excursions to the Art Institute and to the Young? People's Sym- phony are interesting. The Museum of Science and Industry, and the Planetarium are very popular. We have had several parties including eight for birthdays. Who will ever forget Miss Davis and the Greeks? Or the chariot that was the mainstay of our many plays. Then there were the fluffy baby chicks that were born early one Saturday morning. We had watched them grow from embryos. Az Christ' mastime, we decorated the blackboard with colored chalk. Entering: john, Dorrie. to 15

Snider, I. Van Dellen, S. Yates. This is our first year in the big school. We like it, and eating in the Parker cafe' teria is one of our biggest pleasures. 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
