Grade Department Primary Department Wheii Jefferson Center opened its doors to the Primary children of Jeffer- son Township it was exceedingly surprising to all at the great number of small pupils who came smiling up the walk to take their places. The room in which the first three grades were to be seated was full and overflowing. But no wonder, for there were sixty-six pupils to be accommodated. After three weeks of crowding, Miss Buckmaster was relieved of the third grade which numbered twenty pupils, leaving forty-six in the primary room. This number gradually increased until the total enrolment for the first and second grades was fifty- seven. Of these several have moved away, leaving the enrolment, at the pres- ent time, forty-eight. The pupils of this department have been taught reading, arithmetic, spelling, language, music, physical exercises, games, art, writing and politeness. All have shown good interest and ready to attempt any work given them to do. The library books have been read and re-read, story-telling prac- tised and leadership in games taught.

Jefferson Center Orchestra J The Jefferson Center Orchestra was organized in October, 1921, under the leadership of Prof. Bliss of Geneva, Indiana. Out of a membership of thirty- two, the following officers were elected: Claudia Buckrnaster, president, Lamoi- lee Eogle, vice-president and Jesse W. Snyder, secretary and treasurer. At present there are twenty-seven members, five having dropped out last fall. There are nine different instruments in the orchestra as listed below with the names of the playersg Violin-Alda Sprunger, Jesse W. Snyder, Claudia Buck- master, Ernest Hiestand, Rose Mann, Ernest Anspaugh, Ruth Teeter, Jessie Snyder, Wilma Snoke, Madeline Robin, Verlyn Buckmaster and Ernest Zehrg mandolins-Katherine Glendenning, Martin Borntrager, Holman Laukhart, Alice Kenney and Osie Hiestandg piano-Gladys Teeter, Xylophone-Lois Buckmasterg piccolo-Helen Kenneyg baritone-Raymond Snyder, clarinet- Edward Billinskyg trombones--May Mann and Edward Robing cornet--Elmer Robin, Marion Houser and Merril Anspaugh. ' The orchestra has made wonderful progress during the length of time they have played for all were beginners on their instruments and began with the easiest of music. They have advanced steadily and are now able to handle a much more difficult grade of music. This organization has already appeared four times in public, at the.,Earmers, Institute at New Cory-don, Ind., at the Blue Creek Township Parent-Teachers' meeting, at a chicken supper and con- cert given by the orchestra at Jefferson Center and at the High School Com- mencement. Special mention should be made of the chicken supper at which nearly 200 people were served and afterward entertained by the orchestra with a splendid musical p-rogram. Any community could well be proud of musical organization as the Jefferson Center Orchestra has proven itself to be. Every member has shown his interest by his good attendance and hearty coopera- tion in all that the orchestra has undertaken to do. The community has, also, been a great help by showing their interest in this musical education of their, boys and girls. , 3 Athletics The Jefferson Center High School took an active part in athletics during the past year. Many class games were played and also other games. Both teams, girls and boys entered the county tournament. They were eliminated as severalqother teams were, but even so, they did some fine work and a strong team is promising for the future. ' H if V 1 The girls' team won first place upon appearance at the tournament. The boys played some baseball in the fall but since school closed early they will be unable to play this sp-ring. Other schools are waiting for Jefferson to show some good classical athletics. Come on! Let's go. Tm with you. I 161

Third and Fourth Grades On the morning of September 12, forty-five pair of willing little feet found their way to room two, each little owner eager to do his share towards making a happy and profitable year. A book shortage caused a few days' delay but soon this obstacle was removed-everyi3!ne began to pull and kept pullingfuntil the end. A , ' This happy band was almost complete-so good was their attendancef until the :Hu epidemic came upon them. Nearly every one was forced to be absent on this account. Elizabeth Mosser and Chester Adams probably had the worst attacks. '- y Our fame spread so far and so wide that Glenn Hall of Muncie, Virginia Sapp of Fort VVayne and Helen Fogle of Oklahoma hastened to join us. As long as the weather permitted these little enthusiasts could be found enjoying their midday lunch in the pretty grove at theirear of the play- ground. Each new day brought its wonder-bright green moss, beautifully colored leaves, nuts, a squirrel, its nest, a cocoon-until at last the pussy wi-llow made its appearance and one bright spring day the first wild Hower was discovered. A . Now vacation time is iiear and those who worked hardest will enjoy it most. - A Some of our number hope to be engineers, carpenters, farmers, teachers, housekeepers, cooks in restaurants, lawyers, poets, storekeepers and dish- washers in restaurants. One boy .expressed the desire of being an 'fold bachelor.
