ROOM 11 The 'iHappy Times Club has turned into a !'Professor Quizf' We used to have songs, plays, etc., but now every week several persons have to answer questions of all kinds. The modern age has no peace. Room ll has had several grand parties. Mr. Wester made our Hallowe'en a hit. He had a bald head and horn-rimmed glasses. We also had a Valentine party. Both had good Cats. The dance for 7th and Sth grades was a great success. We would like to thank Mrs. Colvin for playing and Mrs. Holmes for arranging it. -BETTY BLODGETT FAVORITE SAYINGS H H Virginia lVIourning ..... - .-.-.-........................ .... ' !Hi Shorty!

In math your Work just has to be done. In manual we learn to make things with wood, In gym we learn games that do us some good, In history we're taught about Champlain, In science we study about the rain, In music there are notes and we are taught to sing, In English we learn just about everything. -ERVIE MONDAY LoNoFiz1.1.ow I 30 1 Ecuoas

ROOM 1 17 During this year's work in Mathematics we have learned much about per- centage, equivalents and more about decimals. Miss Croose has been our teacher and has done good work in teaching us these things. English is usually a hard subject, but not the way Mrs. Holmes teaches it. When you come out of her room you know something about verbs, adverbs, nouns, prepositions and pronouns. We have learned six of the eight parts of speech despite our month's vacation. We don't have much time for Literature, but we have read some good stories. We also have spelling with Mrs. Holmes. She gets after us so we'll study our spelling. Jut the same We like English. lVIrs. Lanz has been our coach in gym. We have four squads with about four in a squad. We have learned many games and relays. The one the children seem to like is the human hurdle relay. It is a lot of fun having gym with Mrs. Lanz. Miss Meyers is our music teacher. She has taught us many pretty pieces. There was a chorus of about seventy-iive Junior High people that sang at Macomber Vocational High School. From what we have heard, it sounded very good. The WPA Orchestra, led by Mr. Shapiro, has been to our school several times. We all like it very much. -COLLEEN BYRNE HISTORY-SCIENCE-ART-MANUAL - ROOM 117 When did Columbus discover America? Wo were the Vikings? Those were two of the five millionn questions thrown at us at the first of the year by Miss Meyers. If we didn't know the answers, down went a zero in her little black book. But through all this we surely had to use our thinking caps. In History class scores of activities were made. Activities are drawings or booklets of events from certain units. Everything from 17th Century forts to Colonial bedrooms were seen. Conclusions were written at the end of each unit to see just how much we had learned. Interesting discussions on current events also took place. Hurry up, urges Mrs. Fruchey. You know We have only 45 minutes for Science. Turn to Page 147 to the topic 'AIR. ' What is air? Is fire helpful to man? Astronomy was interesting, too. We made covers for our water unit booklets in Art. Mrs. Fruchey performed many experiments for us and it goes without saying that there were tests to be taken. Scales for weight were made. Ouchll There I go again sticking myself with another pin in sewing! Gosh, I certainly hope I get this potholder finished! In addition to potholders, we also made fingertip towels. In cooking, breakfasts, luncheons, and desserts were prepared, such as, baked apples, cocoa, tapioca pudding, eggs a la goldenrod and muffins. Where did I put that drawing pencil? l've got to get this contour drawing finished. Yes, contour drawings, wall hangings, and puppets were a few of the things that we made in Art. We have also done a considerable amount of work on Community Chest posters. Has this been a busy year? -GLADYS STEVENSON LoNcFizI.r.ow I 31 I EcHoEs
