THE PURPLE AND GOLD FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES When school started last September we had an attendance of 22 pupils. We still have the same number although some have left, and others have entered. The following parties have been held in our room during the year— Thanksgiving party, Christmas party and Valentine party. Highest averages have gone to the following pupils during the year: Mary Breckenridge Ronald Backus Mary Link Betty Baxter Virginia Buck Juanita Moore SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE NEWS This year we have had an enrollment of forty-seven pupils. At the present time there are only two with perfect attendance in this room. They are Allen Johnson and James Breckenridge. During the early part of the first semester, the seventh grade Social Studies class enjoyed a trip to the Remington Art Memorial and Public Library in Ogdensburg. After January Regents, Marion Black was promoted into the High School. We put on an assembly program April 3rd in which the seventh and eighth grade orchestra, that was organized this year participated. The main part of our program was a pageant entitled “The Songs of America” in which every student took part. Helen Clark rendered two violin solos. Two of our girls, Maureen Perry and Vaughan Thornhill sang duets between acts of the Senior play. 17

At Halloween, the girls in the Home Economics Classes entertained the entire group at a party in the Home Economics room. The room was appropriately decorated, refreshments were served and games were play? d. It was a happy afternoon for the children. At Christmas we had our usual Christmas tree and entertainment. On Valentine afternoon, movies were shown in our room. At the present time one pupil, Kenneth Harrington, still holds the perfect attendance record for the year. We wish other students better luck next time. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES At the beginning of the school year, thirty-four boys and girls were enrolled in our room. Four moved away so now we have twelve girls and eighteen boys. Our attendance has been very good. Elsie McDonald, Helen Curry, Ronald Bogardus, and Ronald Johnson have had perfect attendance. We put on our assembly program last month. The title of our play was “Around the World with the Children”. 16
