IUEZJHS rlrwh AND SIXTH CONTM The parents of the boys and girls served lunch at the' November meeting of the P. T. A. A prize of a picture is to be given to the room having the most parents attending the meetings, and we had the greatest number in October and Nov- ember. We helped with the program in October. Vg At Christmas Time it was fun to be a part of the annual Christmas program. The room was gay with holiday decora- tions. For the library meeting we learned and. gave as choral readings the poems, nAbou Ben Adhemn by Leigh Hunt, and nDare to Do Rightnannonymous. On Valentine Day an exchange of valentines gave much plea sure to the boys and girls. During the afternoon we played NI Have Itu, and at the close Marilyn Renaud was given a gi- ft from her roommates and teacher. Marilyn moved with her parents to a farm near Grinnell. The favorite school subject of the boys and girls of grade six was Hlowa Storiesu. All enjoyed making colorful maps of Iowa showing the location of the early Indian set- lers. The fifth grade took much interest in making trips across the U. S. and the study of the groups of states. Basketball brought much enjoyment during recesg.periods when the weather was cold. In a few years, watch for these boys and girls on the high school teams. SEVENTH AND EIGTH We have eleven pupils in the seventh grade and six in the eighth this year. We have had no transfers. Our Hallowe'en Party was held at the Old Settlers Grounds on the night of October 5l,'l95O, Several from the seventh and eighth grades took part in HA Christmas Caroln at the Christmas Program. Both grades joined with the other six grades in singing carols as a part of one of the plays. Richard Sparks, Artie Craver, and Gene Ver Steeg sold enough magazines subscriptions to win prizes from the Curtis Publishing Company. A party was also given for the Junior High and High School students and teachers sponsored by Mr. Byers of the Curtis Company. The entire room sang two songs at the library meeting, held on February 5, 1951. Patricia Verwers was also in the play NNeighbors.U Mr. McCaulley is our Junior High Teacher' and Coach. The boys played against New Sharon, Newburg, gearsboro, and Prairie City. We have had two teams this year, a seventh grade team and a Junior High team, in which both grades participated. Our team won five games while losing eight. Our best game was played at Prairie City, Lynnville winning by a score of 52 to lO. Newburg gave us our worst defeat, 42 to 20, at Newburg. We are looking forward to March 15 and 16 when we plan to play in the Newburg tournament. We have high hopes of mak- ing a good showing in this tournament. Although our record has not been too impressive, the boys have shown much im- provement throughout the season and next season should show an improved team.
