Page as THE BEACON June 1, 1937 e EVANGELINE PROJECT At last the house was finished Such a time we had before it could be comp eted or even start- ed. It could not be decided just how big it ought to be, or what wood was best to use. After these questions were discussed and a de cision reached, the house grew by bounds and soon was completed ac- cording to specifications. Per- haps you are wondering what house I am talking about. It is Evan- geline's and Benedict's home in the story of Evangeline which we read in English. James Morrison, Karl Eberly, and Paul Dannecker assumed the role of carpenters and built it. Howard Tyndall bus ied himself many seventh periods and at home at night making the thatch roof for the house. Thomas Adams graciously furnished us with the necessary straw. Differ ent members of the English class es made furniture and other things for the house. Next, we had to work out plans for making the church. Jack Sel- zer and Vincent Minger did a good job in reproducing the church where the mandaye was read to the Acadians, forcing them to leave their homes and go as exiles to America. Dave Stolte and Bob Dal man wanted to show Miss Little that they knew how to sew,so they made the thatch roff for the church. To our surprise,they did c good job. The soldiers for the church, the people for the betrothal feast, and different characters which we needed to complete our little project, were made by var- ious members of the classes. The figures were made on cardboard, painted and fitten into little, wooden standards which the boys had made. Our Evangeline project was hard work, but we had fun doing it. Probably all of us will re- member better those parts of Evan eline. We are proud of our re- sults. Come and see our house and church! Dorothy Allen, 8A WINS SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD We are all very proud of the fact that Robert Jamieson, repre- sentative of Harrison Hill School in the eighth grade Spelling Con- test which was held recently, was one of the four people who were each presented with an award for sportsmanship during the contest. The four people were chosen from approximately two hundred child- ren who participated in thespell- ing match. One award was given by the city schools, one by the parochial schools, and two by the county schools. The awards were presented Tuesday, May 4, at the new radio studio. Congratulations Bob!

June 1, 1957 THE BEACON P Page 27 HI Pfq 3 Q f5lg?,lA,2 hi All ':f Q ' .Af,. All A SILENT BOOSTER Mr. Preston Ake has been a si- lent booster for the Harrison Hill Clothing Room for a long time. We hope he will continue to be our helper for many more years Do you know who Mr. Ake is? Well, we all should know, for he has been one of Harrison Hill's best friends. This friend of ours is a first class shoe repairman.He has helped the clothing room by sup- plying soles and heels for worn out and badly dilapidated shoes. Our friend has very generously done this work for the actual cost of the materials, not making one penny for hemself. ' In his little shop on Fair- field Avenue Mr. Ake has a rule that makes shoes left unclaimed for over thirty days liable to sale for the price of repairs. Who benefits by this, you will pr obably ask.Many a good pair of- shoes have found their Way to our clothing room and have kept some- one's feet warm and chy. Every school has its underprivileged children and Mr. Ake, like all of us, wanted to help them. We, at Harrison Hill, appreciate all he has done for us and' hope the fu- ture will be filled with good things for him. Donald Knorr, 7A THE THRIFT PLAN OF ROOM 45 In Room 45 we have a plan which has greatly increased the banking in our room. In this plan the cashier in each row has the responsibility of reminding the pupils in his row to bring their bank money on Tuesday. On Tues- day morning the cashier does the banking for his roW.We also spend part of the seventh period on Mon day discussing thrift and the man y ways in which we can practice it. Our goal is to reach a bank- ing average of IOOW and to learn to practice thrift in everything we do. I am sure you will find it loads of fun and very profitable to plan thrift programs. Mildred Hankee, 8A OUR PUPPET SHOW You know the old old story of Little Black Sambo. In our pup- pet show we had it.Mumbo and Jum- bo and little Black Sambo, seamed very happy. Jumbo was dressed in a pair of green overalls. Mumbo was dressed in a long dress of red, white, and blue, with a big white apron. You can guess how- Sambo was dressed. The tigers had stripes, of course. Robert Duemling, BB if WIDNEY - PROUWPR if Piaasroim Disfraisuroa 5 TEXAOO GAS Qi OPEN ALL NIGHT 5 IBRQADWAY AND SW1NNEX. ..... AfQ833 Q. LUNDALP COAL OO.
