DEDICATION For nine years the Green and XYhite was under the almle direction of Miss Lewis. who did much for the bettering' of this hook. She changed the hook from one of much writing' to one ot' pictures. She xyasn't interested in pictures. just as pictures, hut she wanted theni to tell the story of our sehool life. She stressed pictures with aetion not posed pictures. She worked tirelessly to make each issue a sueeess. ller interest in this prolect was seeond only to that ot the l'oetry Chili. 'llhis past year she felt that to earry on hoth projects was lmeyond her strength so she gave up her position as faculty advisor of this puhlieation. ln appreciation of her work, her interest. and her help, we, the hoard of the l9-l2 Green and XYhite . wish to dedicate this issue to her. lines' liixe

DEMONSTRATION TRAINING SCHOOL Did you think the Training School had turned into a menagerie last Fall? It did temporarily when Miss Frost's fifth grade -after studying about animals and how they prepare for winter, decided to have a pet show. The scene was laid at the edge of the pine knoll at the rear of the school, and the entire student body passed by the cages with their voting slips for smartest pet and best all-round pet . There were white rabbits and a big black one, baby kittens, chickens-and a great variety of dogssfroin a black baby spaniel who napped in the arms of his proud owner to the large collies and hounds who roamed at will and made friends with CVCl'yUlltf. Signs at each cage gave the name and story of each pet and the children supplemented these gladly for all inquirers. .Xs the Good Deed Club-these stu- dents conducted many indoot' activities. For instance whenever a spectator saw the children en masse eating apples, he knew it was Grade 5 earning some more money. They acctnnulated enough to buy a loud speaker for the room so it could enjoy the benefits of the school sound system. They subscribed to Child Lift' Magttsifie which has been a popular feature in the library corner. They de- cided to subscribe to help the upper grade's magazine contest-thus benefit- ting both grades. Page Six liustling activities at Christmas time brought to light another good deedf-out- fitting a Christmas box for a rural school in northern Blaine. lt was a real Santa's work shop. Some of the class wrote let- ters to the school, others figured post- age-everybody repaired clothes and toys. .Xnother group wrote a play centered around the idea and presented it at the Normal school. Instead of exchanging gifts among themselves each child brought a gift for the Christmas box. The parents of the students and the sixth grade enjoyed their dramatic pre- sentation ol 'flu' lfl'r'c.v :mtl lln' ,Ylzotv llztrkcr. They looked after their own social growth, too, with social dancing every Thursday-XYaltzing-Virginia Reels- l'trp-Cloes-the-XYeasel and some liuropean folk dances such as the llleking lisebogan. Une day the writer found them trying out their literary talents and caught this piece of work: Tnti hloox Is .x Sirius The moon is a great big shark That comes out when it is dark: The stars are small boats That try to catch it as it floats. Sometimes it gives you a surprise VYhen it looks at you with its big dark eyes. Sometimes when it floats in the blue It really seems to speak to yott. . t .TXXIICS Bloom'
