School this year was the one-room building on Main Street. We renewed old friendships and made new ones with the grade ones and also with classmates who had come from other schools. We worked hard in class-time. Many of us found our “New Maths” quite a stickler. At recess everyone showed a lot of enthusiasm for the various games we played: dodgeball, baseball, soccer. With the typical in¬ stinct for survival, igloos were built as soon as the first snow piled in. Several parties were enjoyed during the course of the year. Grades 1-3 had a joint Hallowe’en party, where some of us outdid the spooks for effectiveness. At Christmas and Easter we all received a gift. Everyone was sorry to see Tina and Diedrich leave but Randy joined us shortly before Christmas. We have completed two sets of examinations. Now, with the final term here, we are all striving for a suc¬ cessful year. Grade Three 37

We, a lively group of 27 youngsters started out in fall, anxious to see what the coming year would br:n; us. With eager minds we started in with the difficult — or at least we thought it; would be — Grade Two wort only to find it was not too bad. We loved our reading classes, learning all those new words in spelling, our singing periods, etc. The recesses were also lots of fun with $o many new friends to play with. When the cold winter came alon with all the storms and blizzards, we dodged the cold and bravely set about to build our igloos, forts an slides. The highlights of our year were the Hallowe’en, Christmas and Valentine parties, and oh the Christmas coi cert. Weren’t we excited! We are sorry to see Connie leave us after having been with us for only three short months. So, all and all, as we look back to the past year, we remember many pleasant days, and also some tto were not so good, when we learned to work and study together, but we’ll look forward to our summer vacatic when we can toss our books aside and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Wonder what Grade Three will be like? Grade Tv 36 S $ f

We started the year with classes in the auditorium. It got quite cold here at times and so we were very glad when we could move into the newly-built cottage in the beginning of October. We enjoyed working here much more because it was brighter and easier to understand what was being said. For a while we had some trouble with the New Arithmetic but we are getting along reasonably well now. We enjoy most of the subjects, especially Art, but German spelling brings forth many a groan. In the warm fall weather the boys played baseball. They played a game against the grade five boys and lost. The boys played soccer in winter, and the girls also did occasionally. The boys played against the grade three boys and won the game. Now in spring the girls and boys will be playing softball again. We had a Hallowe’en party with a prize for the person that had the best dress-up. In February we also had a Valentine party. The Collegiate also invited us over to see films as well as the dress rehearsal of a play. We are learning more and more that it is best to “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you’’.
