Lower School MEET Miss FRANCES RONALDSON and her Lower School! We of the Upper School probably know the Lower School best in the role of those little whirlwinds who march through Holton's halls ringing bells and bearing signs which are to lure us to that famed rummage sale held annually for the benefit of the Community Chest. Once they get us inside the library, where literally everything from soup to nuts is arranged on the tables, they hold us en- tranced until they send us out with rings on our lingers and bells on our toes, but not one cent in our pockets. Even the ones of us with the strongest will power cannot resist the professional sales talk. We can easily foresee Miss Fran is going to turn out a class well qualihed to be Fuller brush women. The First Form's many new girls have helped to make the class one of the most en- thusiastic and enterprising Miss Fran has ever had. The girls have been vitally inter- ested in everything, but they especially enjoy going on civics trips and collecting pictures of current events which they plan to keep 'til they are grown up. My turn next? The sixth graders, who have come early every day to work and have stayed until late in the afternoon to play, have certainly proved their school spirit. A major interest in ice-skating was revealed when, after Christmas, every girl blossomed forth in a gay and colorful skating costume. The residential section of Kenwood has been well represented in the fifth grade. Al- though these small girls have been a little bewildered at moving from the Primary to the new and complicated scenery of our build- ing, they have entered spiritedly and con- fidently into the responsible task of being fifth graders, and we feel sure that they will carry on next year. Among the more outstanding students scholastically in the First Form are Elizabeth Henry, Priscilla Marbury, and Amie Willard, Florence Keys' daughter, No less outstand- ing in other fields are Anne Barber, Averill Borden, Alice Cleland, Pam Daly, Lester Dessez, Alice Diggs, sister of Helen Diggs, Patty Emery, Phyllis Evans, daughter of Elizabeth Potter, Betty Halley, Joan Huse, Peedy Marthinson, Anne Mearns, Maria

. Primary School WE or THE UPPER SCHOOL envy not only the early lunch hour of the girls and boys of the Primary, but also their rosy cheeks and care- free smiles. Make a visit to Bancroft at recess and you will see these young 'uns wending their diverse ways through the jungle gym or following the leader in miraculous acro- batic feats. The playground presents a truly gay and merry picture! However, even the members of the Primary must Work as Well as play, and a visitor may find curly heads bent over arithmetic or spell- ing books. They are already on the road to becoming the good spellers which Mrs. Hol- ton hopes to turn out in the later years. In charge of the important duties of training the mind as Well as the body is Mrs. Macfarlane, the Primary Department's active and popular director. Her assistants are Miss Myers, who has charge of the fourth grade, Mrs. Mor- rison, ruler of the first grade, Miss Rogers, the kindergarten teacher, and Miss Lemoine, who teaches French. Miss Fran conducts the fourth grade social studies, Miss Feiker physical education, and Mrs. Banes art. Frances Cox Cremember her from last year?D is Miss Rogers' right-hand man in the kin- dergarten, while Elivira Cheatham, a Hol- tonite, helps take care of the playground situ- ation. So you see what a well-rounded pro- gram has been arranged for the Primary children. In addition to frolicking on the playground and learning their A.B.C.'s, every boy and
