Illness We regret that during part of the past semester, two of our finest teachers, Mrs. Gressler and Mrs. Lanz, have been absent from school due to illness. They were missed by all and we are very glad that they have been able to resume their duties here at school. The Staff. , Mrs. Ryan's home room class had great fun modeling in clay this year. Many of the girls made heads in clay. Some of these heads were later used when they made character dolls. Some of the boys modeled streamlined cars, boats, trains, and airplanes, which were painted in gay colors. ..l-- Book Review Proq ram Mrs. Lanz's seventh grade class gave a Book Review Play. Polly Ann was one of the many interesting books given. Marilyn Emery and Edward Mankin dramatized a certain part of that book. Other people that took part in dramatizing were: Mary Jane Redwine, Irene Rigby, Patsy Haley, Billy Bradley, joan Hite, Magalen Netter, Billy Crowl, Lois Byrne, Barbara Welday, Orleta Ditch, jean Sonnenberg, Mary Francis Gannon, Nancy Nagel, Warren McBee, Nancy, Merrill, and Harold Hubbard. - Eighth Graders Dance On june 1, at 8 o'clock, all eighth graders, their parents, and the faculty gathered in the auditorium for the annual farewell party sponsored by the P. T. A. The W. P. A. orchestra played for dancing and refreshments were served. The grand march intro- duced the graduates and our school song was sung. A very pleasant evening will be remembered by all of us. ..l-- Music Activities junior High pupils gave two special music programs this year. The first event was the Christmas program. The robed chorus was composed of 100 and sang the traditional Hallelujah Chorus. In addition to this they sang a program of carols. In spite of the bad weather there was a large audience. On March 16, a chorus of 45 seventh and eighth graders were asked to give a group of songs at the Northwestern Ohio Convention of P. T. A.'s. The concert was given at St. Paul's Methodist Church. Longfellow pupils attended two symphony concerts at the Art Museum. These were given by the Cleveland and St. Louis Symphonies. Nearly 100 children attended each of these concerts. Our school has enjoyed regular concerts by the Federal Concert Orchestra. Mr. Meyer Shapiro conducted these which were given every six weeks. . Barbara Brown. Longfellow 4 25 -P Echoes

smwl-'iNeWSf--- I938 National Marble Tournament On Wednesday, May 3, the Toledo News-Bee officials conducted a marble tourna- ment. Many children entered. From here the winner went to a local tournament and the local winner to Cedar Point for a district meet. The finals will be held at Wild- wood-by-the-Sea, New Jersey. Harry Fox was the Longfellow champ. Elton Gallon. The work done in the manual room by the boys in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades will be on exhibition, May 18, for the P. T. A. Miss Croose's class has quite an artist as you probably have heard. She has drawn a picture of the Seven Dwarfs at the mine. In the corner is a Community Chest telling you to give. Rhoda May Schnetzler is this artist and a very fine one, too. Community Chest Play A Community Chest Play was given April 8th by a group from Miss Croose's class. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs were present. The cast was as follows: Announcer ...................,......................................................................

Peggy Gallagher Rhoda May Schnetzer drew a large poster to supplement the play, which hung in the hall during the Community Chest Drive. Every month Mrs. Ellis's class has a calendar and picture on the black board. The class chose Barbara Laibe as leader for the year. She chooses three girls each month to help her. These pictures and calendars are done in gay colors and are very attractive. Thanks For years -the Mothers' Club and P. T. A. have cared for our needs in donating things that make school a pleasure. Some of the gifts have been a slide machine, mov- ing picture machine, and drapes. This year they again came through by giving us the Bne microphone that has been so vital in our programs and performances in the audi- torium. The Echo Staff wishes to thank the P. T. A. and Mothers' Club for all they've done. Elton Gallon. Longfellow 4 22 P Echoes
