The fifth and sixth grades began the school year with an enrollment of forty- seven children. This enrollment has been increased during the year to fifty-seven. The first activity of the year was a Pet Shaw, a combined effort ff the lower grades to procure a victrola. Later a pop- corn sale raised nearly seven dollars, which was used to purchase records. The Thanksgiving program, consisting rf a play, The Only Good Children, and several recitations was given in the High Sqhool room. At Christmas time the children had :1 party and package hunt and then at- tended the program given by the GIrl's Glee Club. Several interesting posters, dealing with the effect of location on life and in- dustry have been worked out in Geography. Since the piano has been purchased a grade assembly has been held each Fri- day and a program has been given. This has been both intercsting and profitable. Twenty-eight

At the first class meeting, llarcld Miller was elected President: Leon Messler, Vice-Presidentg Leona Bushong, Secretwvy and Trearurer. A baseball team was or- ganized soon after school started. Will am Neilly was chosen Captain. At Christ- mas time gifts were exchanged and received by all members of the class. Early in January a sleighing party was enjoyed, two large sleighs took the crowd for a merry ride. After serious consideration a student cyruncil was chosen. This group met and drew up a code of laws. These were presented to the class, who after some discussion voted to accept them. This council met several times when special problems arose and after combining their ideas, were able to discuss the topics in a forceful manner. From time to time debates were arranged and short talks given by members of the class on current topics. When the High School decided to have a student council two members, Vivian Grannis and Harry Loveland, of our acting council were chosen to represent us in this new group. A great deal of good has been derived from this work, especially along the lines of Public Speaking. We have been well represented on the Honor Roll, having one-fourth of our number listed each term. We are looking forward to our spring party as an enjoyable close to a busy and profitable year. Twenty-seven

It is with the greatest of pleasure that we, the fourth and fifth grades, present ourselves. We are all proud' of our overcrowed room. It is only by the efforts of each member of the group that We are being able to grow into unselfish, intellectual boys and girls, for our instructor is like the old woman in the shoe with so many chil- dren she doesn't know what to do. We have a total enrollment of sixty at the pres- ent time. We people of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades have succeeded in obtain- ing a victrola and some records by giving a Pet Show on the play ground of our school. We also have a very nice piano, which we used in our practice for the operetta. We feel that we have had an enjoyable as well as a profitable school year. Twenty-nine
