DEMGNSTRATION TRAINING SCHOOL Did you think the Training School had turned into a menagerie last Fall? lt did temporarily when Miss l rost'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 hy 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 dogs-from a hlack 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 everyone. Signs at each cage gave the name and story of each pet and the children supplemented these gladly for all inquirers. As the Good Deed Club-these stu- dents conducted many indoor activities. For instance whenever a spectator saw the children en masse eating apples, he knew it was Grade 5 earning some more enough to money. They accumulated buy a loud speaker for the room so it could enjoy the benefits of the school sound system. They subscribed to C Izila' Life lwagasfnc which has been a popular feature in the library corner. They de- cided to subscribe to help the upper gracle's magazine contest-thus benefit- ting both grades. I 'age Six liustling activities at Christmas time brought to light another good decd-out- fitting a Christmas box for a rural school in northern Maine. 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 prc- sentation of The lflzm' and flzv ,S'fmt'- nzukcr. They looked after their own social growth. too, with social dancing every Thursday-XValtzing-+Virginia Reels- l'op-Goes-the-XVeasel and some European folk dancessuch as the lileking lisebogan. One day the writer found them trying out their literary talents and caught this piece of work: rlilllf Kloox Is A SHARK The moon is a great big shark That comes out when it is darkg The stars are small boats That try to catch it as it fioats. Sometimes it gives you a surprise VVhen it looks at you with its big dark eyes. Sometimes when it fioats in the blue It really seems to speak to you. JA MES Moonv
