BUILDING CITIZENS FOR TOMORROW Last year thirty-one boys and girls began another year of school lite. The boys have been in the majority this year, numbering twenty-three. There were nine girls in the room. Our number remained intact until Torn Ruble joined our group in March. Our teacher was absent part of the year because ot illness, Iosephine Smith Mclntosh was the substitute teacher. We enjoyed her stay with us. We have tried to be good citizens of our school and country. Our part is to do each task as it comes and not cause our parents and teachers unnecessary worry and trouble. Defense Stamps have been sold at school and we have tried to buy our share. We sacri- ticed the Valentine Party in order to send gifts to the boys from our school who are in service. The Tonette Band has added interest this year. Each child in the room is a member. Our first appearance was before the student body at the patriotic program in February. Parties came as usual at Halloween, Christmas and Easter. As the curtain lowers on this school year we look forward to a busy vacation, ex' pecting to help wherever possible in the interest of Victory. 24

The Sl1ip's Log Louis Dornseif took part in the patriotic program on February 20 by singing God Bless America. Lindy Lybarger and Don Scherer are the seventh and eighth grade representatives in the Booster Council. The basketball team has a fine record with seven victories to its credit and only two defeats. These classes have made a good showing in ability and enthusiasm, they stand a very sure chance of being two of the finest and best classes to enter high school. YOUNG PATRIOTS Here is a live, wide-awake, up-to-the-minute group of girls and boys who have had a wonderful year of work and play. Not a slacker among theml Every task regardless of its difficulty has been cheerfully undertaken and accomplished, while splendid cooperation with fair give-and-take has made their play time happy. The trip to Fort Wayne, on which they visited the filtration plant, Wolf G Dessauer's Toyland, Allen County Historical Museum, the Court House, the News-Sentinel, and Baer Field, was enjoyable as well as instructive. The English Club work has been outstanding. Their use of the library in getting material for their themes has been unusual from their age standpoint. Officers were changed often enough that every one has had some training in that line. The sixth grade wrote and produced one play, inviting the other grades to the per- formance. Both grades participated in two playlets, Old King Cole's Christmas in which Paul Morton had the lead and the patriotic play Investing for Uncle Sam in which Doris Zimmerman was The Spirit of the United States. They had a part in sending gift boxes to the boys in service who are graduates of our high school. They became members of the Iunior Red Cross and at this time fFebruary 26? have bought 5537.80 worth of Defense Stamps. The future may place many responsibilities upon their shoulders, but they will bear them faithfully and well.

The Ship's Log - LIVING TOGETHER We have spent a great deal of the past eight months learning how to work, play and live together. We had our masquerade party with the third and fourth grade. Santa passed out treats to us all after the annual Christmas party. These parties were followed by Valentine and Easter parties. Robert and Donald Lovellette moved to Monroeville. Ioseph Feiertag came here from Wolcottville, and Roxy Rubel came from Adams County. The five girls in our room are greatly outnumbered, but manage to assume their share of leadership. This year has given us knowledge, experience, desire for and growth towards a greater democracy, which is our AMERICA.
