Elementary Grades This year the primary grades have an enrollment of 104 children. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic work has taken much time and energy. School is not all work, though. We have fun in our gym classes. Our favorite games are: cat and mouse, squirrel in the tree, and brownies and fairies. We play musical games, too: farmer in the dell, Looby Loo, round the mulberry bush, and round and round the village. A big event of the year was the presentation .of the operetta, The Frog Prince. It was a lot of ha rd work for everyone, but the thrill of appearing before an audience on the big night was worth the effort. The first grade rhythm band gave a concert as a spicial part of this musical program. Our social life in the first three grades centered around three big parties: Hallowe'en, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. We joined with other students in our school and had these parties in the gym. Santa Claus brought a special treat for each child who attended the Christrnas party. Grades four, five, and six returned to school with the same teachers as last year waiting to waiting to welcome them. The enrollment was somewhat higher than last: thirty-eight were fourth graders, twenty-eight were fifth graders, and thirty-one were sixth graders, making a total of 97. The fourth graders had a real surprise near the beginning of the year when they were asked to remove all their books from their desks. After they had done this, shiny new adjustable seats and desks were brought into the room. Our performances for the year included the operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore, an assemble program on January 13, and the closing day activities. The special days, Ha11owe'en, Christrnas, and Valentine's Day, proved as exciting for grades four, five, and six, as they did for the smaller children. Z8
