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

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.

But we still have had mucl fun participating in many activities. In fall we had a weiner roast and Hallowe ' en party. Everybody enjoyed themselves. Pretty soon snow came and with it Christmas exams and holidays, After holidays we played three soccer games against different schools. The team tied one and won the other two. We also had a Valentine ' s party in February which provided much fun. The classroom had two skating parties and two hockey games. Quite an argument arose between the boys and girls about having hockey sticks on the ice. However, we boys agreed not to use sticks on the ice at skating parties providing we have a hockey game. Now that Easter exams are over we are waiting for the summer holidays. Gerald Braun Mr. Eugene Janzen
