We had graduated from Grade Three and intended to occupy the classroom which the Grade Fours had vacated last June. But, things had changed - we were not received hospitably. Instead, we were hustled back to the same old one-roomed school on Main Street - to face the same old teacher. However she did not seem to be too surprised to see us returning home. In fact, she was quite happy. Before long, we too, were resigned to stay for another year. Sometimes, we do go and visit the school on Park Street. We have seen some good films there, and we played a game of soccer against the Grade Fives. We have been privileged this year to be able to skate on the town ice-rink. How we looked forward to those Wednesdays when we had the ice all to ourselves from one to two o 1 clock] During school hours we work hard. Most of us would like to be first in class standing, but that is not easy to do. No matter how hard we try, we can never be quite certain to reach the top. Someone is liable to step up a bit and get ahead of you. We are looking forward with eager anticipation to the remainder of the school term in whcih we hope to accomplish much yet.

Last fall the classroom heard children ' s voices again after two months of silence. Things were different though- the last year s class, now grade three ' s, was joined by fourteen grade two ' s making a grand total of thirty-two. Many new and interesting things have been learned in arithmetic, reading, social studies, etc. At recess the soccerball keeps the boys busy while the girls find a variety of games to amuse them. After Christmas we were pleasantly surprised with the arrival of new desks, though some saw the old ones go with regret for no more double seats are available. With the coming of spring and nice weather, the exams also loom ahead. But with this the end of another year is nearing and the holi¬ days which all look forward to again.

At the beginning of the year the grade five pupils came bustling into the classroom eager to s ' -e what grade five had in store for them. We soon found that we had a lot of hard work to do. But we still had time for fun and play. Close to the end of September we had a wiener roast. We play¬ ed many games and ran races. Later we sat down to enjoy the food. Later in the year we had football games against the different grades of Goodwill School. In the fall we played a soccer game against the grade fours. We won 3-1. In October we had a Hallowe ' en Party. We dressed in costumes and the boys and girls had to guess who they were. We also played games of diff¬ erent types. Next came the Christmas exams. We had a Christmas concert. This was followed by a Christmas party where we sang songs, played games and rec¬ eived a gift. In February th grade five boys played a hockey game against the grades six and seven. We were defeated. On the 14th we had a Valentine ' s Party. We handed out valentines and played games. In March we had a skating party. Then the Easter exams rolled around. The end of the year is near. June exams are approaching swiftly. A picnic will end off the year and two months of adventures and holidays lie ahead. Linda Warkentin Miss Margaret Epp PAGE 49
