One of the interesting things the class studied was active and inactive volcanoes in Central and South America. To make the study of volcanoes more interesting, the class built a volcano in the shape of a cone from plaster of Paris. Then ammonium dichromatic powder was placed in the center. When this was set on fire the volcano erupted and ashes of the -burnt powder spilled over the side. Science class was made more interesting by doing all experiments and the use of the microscope. Another major field of endeavor was the de- velopment of self-discipline by the students.

This activity provided a source of much interest to the class as they watched the growth of the class day by day. The work in the sixth grade English class included writing letters. These concentrated on the points of correct grammar and accurate spelling. The students were also required to make one book report each month during the year. History studies included the history of early America, and Latin American history. This included the explorations of Ferdinand Magellan and Vasco de Gama, and the study of great Latin American statesmen such as Simon Bolivar. 131
