HIGH LIGHTS (£ ralte jj5 cl|c 0l rltgl| flights In the First Grade this year, among other activities we have furnished a little room with furniture made of orange crates. We also made a “Good-Health Store’- of crates. We have just started a garden out in back of the school, planting our own seeds and caring for them every day. This year in the Second Grade, our health project proved very interesting and helpful. During this project we were given samples of soap, tooth-paste and tooth powder. Our animal project ended during the “Be Kind to Animals” week. During this project we discussed our own pets, their habits, food and appearance. In our study of Nursery Rhymes we colored pictures of Nursery Rhymes and well known story people. We have also greatly enjoyed the study which we have made of local birds this spring. Our May Day Unit when completed totaled for some of us between eight and ten different Aiay baskets. For Mother’s Day we made folders, each containing a pic- ture, a poem and a carnation. In the Third Grade we have made use of the various holidays as a basis for con- structive work, booklets and plays. At present we are working on an English book- let and our final play for the year. The Fourth Grade has been very busy and industrious this year. Two of the outstanding units which we have worked out for Geography are: “The Lincoln Highway” and “Life In Holland.” We have had many wild (lowers brought in to be studied as part of our work. We have also had frogs’ eggs, tadpoles, salamanders, a tree toad, and a frog for observation. Our parents have helped us in working out our units. They have given us pictures, post-cards and other available materials which has been greatly appreciated. In the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grades we have continued to enjoy the depart- mental work of these grades. Fourteen new books have been added to our library and they have been much in demand. Interest in spelling has been fostered by a con- test among the three grades. We keep weekly records in this of the class averages. Each of us in Grades Four and Five has given a two minute talk before the class about once a week, and in Grade Five we have worked on four plays for assembly programs. During the past school year in the Sixth and Seventh Grades, we have worked out many interesting projects. One of these was a booklet on Washington and Lin- coln. These booklets consisted of a collection of pictures, poems, outlines and com- positions about the lives of the two heroes and were enclosed in attractive covers. For Social Studies we made a collection of maps, pictures, and folders on Germany. Booklets on many industries were collected for study. All of us in the Sixth Grade are members of the Junior Glee Club and have taken part in many Assembly Programs. The play, “Lucky Day In Holland,” given in a March assembly program was a part of the study of Holland in Social Studies. Thirteen

HIGH LIGHTS G5U'e Club aitb (©rcljestra During the past year, the Glee Club and Orchestra have been active in school programs. The Orchestra, with a membership of ten people, has played at High School Assemblies throughout the year. On April 30th, the Orchestra made its first public appearance at the presentation of the play “ALL ABOARD” which was given for the benefit of the Alumnae Association. The group will take part in the spring program on June 4. The Glee Club, which has fifty-five members, includes students from Grades 8-12. Both the Glee Club and Orchestra represented the school at the annual League Music Festival at Chestertown on May 14 and will appear at the graduation exer- cises. Clubs Jefuspaper (Club This year, under the direction of Miss Cahancy and Mr. Griffin we organized a Newspaper Club. One of the main functions of our Club was to publish a monthly newspaper, the High Lights. Many changes and improvements were made in the paper throughout the year. The Club met regularly on Fridays to discuss the High Lights and occasionally during these meetings we had a special program. Another function of the News Club was the publishing of the Senior annual. Last, but not least, we assisted Miss White in collecting the weekly news items for the local papers. Harsity Club The Varsity Club consists of students of the Hadlev-Lakc Luzerne High School who have earned at least one letter in any athletic sport. Through this Club they played basketball in the Adirondack League. Boys’ and girls’ teams were both organized and each team’s expenses were paid from the gate receipts. The teams were both handicapped from lack of material and a practice court but the boys came through with two victories in eight league games and the girls, playing non-league basketball, won two out of the eight games played. Hobby Club The Girls’ Hobby Club has been a great success this year under the direction of Mr. Castle. The membership was so large that it was necessary to divide the Club into two groups. At the first meeting the following were elected: President, Gladvs White; secretary and treasurer, Geneva White. We have worked on copper, German silver, wood, leather and other materials. Some of the projects we have made are: book-ends, ash trays, bracelets, tic racks, scissors holders, key cases, bill folds, purses and hot dish mats. Although the Club has been a big success this year, we hope to make it better next. Fifteei
