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.

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.

Grades Five and Six We might be called the OverHow of Jefferson Center. Then, too, we might be accused of havi-ng a rather migratory spirit about us, since we'vc changed our habitat at different times. When school began in fall, grades five and six were with grade four in Room Z. After three weeks in this crowded condition, grades 5 'and 6 were moved to one of the high school recitation rooms with Miss Sprunger as teacher. By means of careful calculation it was made possible to accommodate 40 pu- pils in that room, but Jefferson Center grew so fast and her numbers increased so rapidly that we couldn't even accommodate all who should have been in these two grades. In November a second move was made. This time still farther down. The Manual Training room had been equipped in one of the basement rooms. In order to remedy matters, one of the school buildings of the township was moved on the school grounds, and the manual train equipment was moved there. The M. T. room was then changed to a class room, and here is where grades five and six spent the rest of the winter. During the year 42 pupils were enrolled. At Christmas time Herschel Walker left us, and moved to Illinois. In February, Vilas Wendell dropped out, and in March, Opal Bollenbacher and Ruth Grace were forced to leave us on account of sickness. The number on the roll at present is 38.
