RADE S E C O N D G This year's Second Grade was unusually large in number for Maumee 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 ' test modern artists, and even a second-grader knows this. W orld s grea

As you can see, the Second Grade finds the picnic grounds and its surrounding area a fine place to play. Whenever they aren't busily involved in one of their many other activities, they may be found across the ravine where they spend their happiest school hours. Here, industrious classroom workers can relax from the ardors that follow naturally when approaching higher education. Arithmetic and spelling hold no tears for these out-of-doors people, who play strenuously for awhile, to resume indoor activities with vim. GRAD

Whenever good weather and Mrs. Nehring smiled upon them, th ey would hurry across the ravine with ll th a e intensity of their young spirits. Oddly enough the weather, and especially Mrs N h . e ring, did not allow too much of this, for they have a very impressive list of other accomplishments. Hallo- We'en i ound them very busy making papier mache and paper plate masks. At the begin- ning oi the year they arranged a beautiful TOP ROW: Billy Knight, Danny Lehmann, Randy Hillier. SECOND ROW: Iudith Trumbull, Mary Gail Hobbs, Becky Katchka. THIRD ROW: Roberta Patton, Marcia Vallet, Ieffrey Horn, Ianice Owens. BOTTOM ROW: Janice Smith, Patty Cassady, Bruce Mani, Sarah Waldron. collection of Indian relics from the Trumble Farm, too. 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 l en arged when they brought some of their own books to school, and not to be outdon b e y the high school, they also started vocabulary books. By now we must agree that they are really ready to take th t f a ourth step up the ladder called Education. THIRD GRADE
