Fifth and Sixth Grades The fifth and sixth grades appoint a committee each season to decorate the windows. The Better Speech Contest had three parties. Mr. Hoover made an attractive book case which was filled with several new books for their room. Marilyn Jackson and Eileen Cooper took care of the library. The sixth grade geography and history classes were very interesting. In geography they had oral compositions which helped the students to improve and in history they learned some of the Greek and Roman Gods and important people and learned some verses from Lord Macaulay's poem of Horatius at the Bridge . The fifth grade had some difficulty in learning their fractions but they finally succeeded. The reading classes told stories and that was quite different from anything they ever did before. The stories in the fifth grade books were very interesting. Ben and Me was an interesting story for both grades giving the mouse Amo's idea of Ben Franklin's ach-ievements. Three new pupils enrolled and they are Arnold King, Denton King and Maxine Manes. David Whelage entered St. Lawrence School at Muncie after two and a half years of fellowship with his class. Charlotte Maynard who was confined with infantile paralysis spent part of the winter in Florida. 18
