The Grade Mr, C31-1R0g5 MTALL OAKS FROM LITTLE ACORNS GROW GRADE ONE The work in the first grade was centered -largely around three units of work. The first was a study of the coimnunity and its work- crsg the second was the farm, the third was a study of the home. VVith this study, appro- priate activities were carried out, namely, the construction of a small community, a typical farm. and a house large enough for play. GRADE TVVO This year special emphasis has been placed on mastery of the courses in reading. arith- metic, writing and spelling, VVork during the second semester centered around units on the post office, good manners, and the farm. Reading, arithmetic, writing. spelling, music and art were correlated with each unit and a post oliice and a farm were constructed. GRADE THREE The third grade pupils have not only ac- complished inuch along the scholastic line, but they have learned to work and play to- gether in a satisfactory manner. Good study habits and worthwhile character traits have gone hand in hand with subject matter, to make the units of work a delight to each child. GRADE FOUR Fourth grade pupils have been engaged in activities valuable for their own sakes. Through these they have attempted gradually to turn native endowment into effective power. Not by rote learning, but through par- ticipation, the children have been learning that freedom is a result of self-discipline, and is achieved by conquering each new ditiiculty which arises. GRADE FIVE The object of the fifth grade is to provide large learning situations, which will draw upon all phases of experience and make use of all kinds of subject matter. With this object in view, the work this year has been set up in three correlated units, which include the following: Colonial life, Ohio, and trans- portation. GRADE SIX XVhen elementary pupils arrive at the sixth grade they begin a more formal study of aca- demic subjects. It is here that the final polish- ing of the elementary student is made prior to his entering junior high school. Much atten- tion is given to the development of inde- pendent study habits. However, formal drill is not permitted to overshadow the develop- ment of well rounded personalities.

Miss Kehr, the second grade teacher, would be the next faculty member on the list. XValking back to zoi, one would find Mr, Lewis, social science teacher, engaged in a heated yerbal com- bat over the question of whether or not buying grain on a future's markft is an advantage to the consumer. Miss Middlctor, librarian and study hall teacher, would be found looking for some unheard-of work by some unknown author for someone who wanted it merely for its copyright date. 'l'he next stop would then be in the fourth grade room, which is under Miss Orem's supervision. Mr, Ortman, the new mathematics teacher, would be found doing a stiff problem on the board fsuch as bisecting an irregular angle by using a compass and straightfedgc J. Coming down the second Hoor hall and hearing the click of many typewriter keys being pressed, one would enter' to find Miss Overholtx giving another ten-minute copy test. From here one would go to the oliice to get a work permit signed by Miss Paul, the schools secretary. One's first visit to the gym would be to see Miss Robinson, gym teacher, show the fair sex the art of playing basketball, 'l'he final elementarv faculty member that would be visited would be Mr. Ross, elementary principal, and sixth grade teacher. Miss Stifel, head of the art department, with pencil in hand, would be guiding the hands of future artists into the intricacies of a curved line. Shoulders back, eyes front. Start counting olif' and Mr, 'l'hies is directing his boy's gym classes through the procedure of attendance-cliecking. 'Nitli a saw in his hand, Mr, Vl'ical, industrial arts teacher, shows a student how to cut a board for its greatest possible value. At the end of football season, a new faculty mem- ber was added in the person of Mr. VVilliarns, who is now football and baseball coach. Guided by the smell of an appetizing aroma, one is led toward the home economics room, where Miss XVindross is teaching the art of cooking a cake that' will not fall in the middle. At the final stop, one would watch Mr. Yocom, science instructor, as he demonstrates to the physics class the effect of an electrical charge upon the body. 'k
