fytacle MR. BENNETT This yeor we have been studying United States history in a new and interesting way- Each student was assigned a state, and wrote to the capital of the state to find out facts about its commerce, industry, etc. In Math, English, and our other sub- jects we worked under the stress of our June Regents. We enjoyed very much the preliminary study of Algebra and Geometry that we did in our grade in the Spring term. Seventh tyracte MR. BECKEL Much of our time was spent studying the history of New York State. In Arithmetic we became acquainted with Geometry and percentage. Safety patrol duty earned us a won- derful trip to Yankee Stadium. Our stage play, given on May 29th, was fun to produce and seemed to be en- joyed by our audience. Sixt tyiade MRS. JOHNSON This year we have made exhibits of manufactured goods from our text- book Industrial Western Europe . As a project in Geography and Soc- ial Studies we made diaramos com- paring the desert and jungle vegeta- tion in Africa. With the aid of Mr. Seavers, our Art teacher, the class painted a mural showing amusing scenes from Robin Hood. If you hap- pen to stop by our room you will en- joy seeing our Science corner which contains many interesting and live objects. ' f! A A J
