It showed many incidents which took place in the settling of our country. Each pupil had a part in it. We worked on many pro- jects which helped make our studies in- teresting. We have had a nice time being together this year. Besides our routine work of Studing Fractions . Learning about the Americas , and Adventuring in Science , we have had time to do several projects. Our favorite project was the USA on Parade . We made floats of each state and invited the other grades into our room to judge them. We made a mural of a light- house scene with our class pictures looking out of the lighthouse windows. In the spring we made an ABC book of the USA. Mr. Seaver helped us paint pictures to describe each topic and we wrote interesting para- graphs about each picture.

0freti 'ityocue As has been the custom in the past few years, the school held Open House in May. Parents and teachers met to discuss problems of the pupils and educational exhibits were set out for display by most of the classes. For the first portion of the program, parents and their children filed from one room to another and from floor to floor exchanging opinions with the teachers and taking in the at- mosphere of the school that houses the pupils for the majority of their waking hours. After this get acquainted period, a program was provided in the auditorium. The various musical organizations, the Band and the Glee Club, demonstrated their musical prowess in several varied selections calculated to appeal to every mood. Following this relaxing interlude, the MHS Tumblers, both male and female, put on a show designed to make an audience breath faster. The Open House has proved very successful and helpful in the past years and this term's get together was no exception.
