SECOND GRADE This year's Second Grade was unusually large in number Valley, but certainly wasn't any different from the rest of our lower school in the amount of work accomplished. Like grades one to six, they too were busy learning their three R's. Aside from this they occupied their time with extra- curricular activities. They made monthly trips to the Art Museum where they learned about Renoir, Gaugin, Van Gogh, and other famous artists. When they were in school they often put some of their knowledge gained at the museum to Work, by means of chalk drawings, modeling with clay, or painting. Some- how, artistic Work is more meaningful when done under the inspiration of the wor1d's greatest modern artists, and even a second-grader knows this. for Maumee

Nehring smiled upon them, they would hurry across the ravine with all the intensity of their young spirits. Oddly enough the Weather, and especially Mrs. Nehring, did not allow too much of this, for they have a very impressive list of other accomplishments. Hallo- We'en found them very busy making papier mache and paper plate masks. At the begin- ning of the year they arranged a beautiful THI TOP ROW: Billy Knight, Danny Lehmann, Randy Hillier.

Everyone seemed to be interested in art, and in this respect the Third Grade was no different. They made blue-print leaves, and also evinced special interest in the first of the three R's-Reading. Their library was enlarged when they brought some of their own books to school, and not to be outdone by the high school, they also started vocabulary books. By now We must agree that they are really ready to take that fourth step up the ladder called Education. RD GRADE
