ROOM 316 We've been studying about the geography of Europe. Since the war broke out our maps in the book are not much use because they are not up to date. We collect many maps out of the paper and magazines, and also make our own. These maps help us a lot in geography. -BEVERLY RANCK ROOM 316 Donna Bissell is one of the many Toledo Girl Scouts who sold the official Girl Scout cookies. She won first prize in selling cookies because she sold 11-1- boxes. Her prize was a ribbon, telling how many boxes of cookies she had sold, a knife and a belt. The knife contains a can opener, a screw driver, a bottle opener, a belt punch and a knife blade. -DONNA BISELL ROOM 316 Miss Sheahan's class had a Community Chest contest,-the girls against the boys. We put two strings the length of the room and strung pennants on them which Went from S .50 to 59.00. The girls had a balloon at the pennant which showed their amount, and the boys had an airplane. Carl Thielman brought an antique chest for the boys' money and Donna Bisell brought a small chest with a lock for the girls, money. Joanne Less took charge of the money for the girls and Carl Thielman for the boys. The boys took in 54.65 and the girls 52.85, the whole room totaling 57.50. -HARRY JAcoBs ROOM 316 The children of Room 316 have four teams in gym. The captains are: Beat- rice Kiker, Carl Thielman, Rosemary Lee, and Jack Gulvas. The teams like to play such games as Basket-end-ball, Criss-Cross, Relays and others. In Basket-end- ball they won from Room 301, and Room 303. They hope to play baseball this summer but first they must get permission from Mr. Fisher, the gym director. -BEATRICE KIKER ROOM 211 Susan Pirner, Richard Rofkar and James Coder in Room 211, First Grade, have a perfect attendance record for the year. Barbara Hahn was absent only a half day. LoNoFELLow I 43 1 Ecuorzs

ROOM 512 One day last fall one of the boys in our room discovered several sma11 tongues of fire shooting up from the roof of a house across the street. We were given permission to go to the window and watch the fire. It was surprising to see that so many people, both in cars and walking did not notice the burning roof. Finally a neighbor saw the fire and told the lady of the house. She became very excited. We soon heard the fire engine approaching. VVe thought it remarkable how quickly and efficiently the Bremen had the blazing roof under control. Every man co-operated and when the fire was out we watched them pick up the wreckage, leaving the yard clean. Thanks to Bob I-Ieyman many of us had our best chance to watch our fire department in action. NO TARDINESS OR ABSENCE IN ROOM 517 Betty -lane Northrup lVIari1yn Woessner ROOM 517 HOW WE KEEP OUR SPELLING RECORD The pupils of Room 317 have a very different way of keeping their spelling records. We have on our bulletin board a chart. Above it there is a sign which says USoaring or Sinking? We all try to put airplanes up every Week which means we have 100. If we have a steamboat it means We have a score in the 90's, a sailboat means 80's, rowboats 70's, submarine 601s or below. We think it is fun to keep a record this way. ROOM 517 THE NEWS BULLETIN BOARD Our News Bulletin Board is made up of articles and clippings of general interest. Most of the articles are about geography we have had recently, or things we have read about lately concerning current events. -PATSY BINDING ROOM 517 WRITING BOOK REVIEW Twenty children in Room 317 have written book reviews. They are Bruce Chambers, Jerry Cullum, Jerry Epstein, Robert Lashbough, Roman Zawodni, Don- ald Venters, Jack Denman, Kazimierz Sokolowski, Patsy Binding, Joan Sanford, Louise McLean, Nancy Kurth, lVIari1yn Woessner, Ann Lee Barger, Barbara Coble, Lois Schirr, Regina Sparks, 1VIari1yn Britton, Juliana Miller, Velma Magley. This improves our memory and our English. It makes us more interested in reading good books. -NANCY KURTH LONGFELLOW I 42 I ECHOES

ROOM 201 OUR TRIP TO THE DAIRY Our class met at school at 9:30 on Saturday, March 30. The Ohio Clover Leaf Dairy sent four cars for us. When we arrived there we started through the dairy. Some of the things we saw were washing and sterilizing of bottles, in which process caustic solution is used, and pasteurizing milk, a process devised by Pasteur for preventing or checking fermentation in fluids by heating them to l3l-158 degrees F. The process we thought the most interesting was the filling and capping of bottles. From the washing machine, the bottles go to the filler and capper. They are then put into boxes and delivered. At the end of our trip the dairy surprised us with a treat of chocolate milk and ice cream. Then the dairy cars and Mrs. Cummins took us home. We thank the Ohio Clover Leaf Dairy for such an instructive and happy morning. -ROBERT HARTLEY ROOM 316 Every Wednesdayf our class has a club in which we can sing, tell stories, read stories, read poems, or tell about our hobbies. The officers during the first semester Were: President, Ralph Wenner, Vice-President, Robert Peeleg Secretary, Eleanor Channel, and the Treasurer, Jimmy Arbaugh. The present officers are: President, Beatrice Kikerg Secretary, Par Ettersg Vice-President, Carl Thielmang Treasurer, Doris Splitgerber. Among the things on the club I liked best Was, Joanne Less, who sang some popular songs. Carl Thielman read some very nice stories, and Billy Volk played some of his records. We all enjoy our club Very much. -MARVEL WHIPPLE ROOM 316 Harry Jacobs is a member of the Y. IW. C. A. I-le was in the movie that the man showed us about their summercamp-Camp Storer-April 18, 1940.
