The enrollment in Room 9 this term was 22 - boys and 12 girls. In addition to our regular school work the . children participated in the following activi- ties: rhythm band once a week and folk danc- ing and singing games each day at recess period. They memorized the following poems: The Flag Story , The Turtle , Spring', The Woodpecker , and My Cupboard . The boys and girls had lots of fun making a toy farm while reading the stories of the farm in their basic reading book. Iohnny Hiler- wick was chainnan of the committee and he brought the fence. Others who brought materi- al were Pauline Ebner, Marty Dillon, Dick Log- an, loe Brown, Iimmy Kerr, Barbara Kuhns, Ian- ice Watkins, Wayne Downs, Tommy Guzy, Marvin Chellman, Tommy Leeper, George Krolik, Becky Hower, and Terry Griffin. We made Writing booklets telling about Spring. We received a seal in Writing every period this term. Considerable progress was made in Spelling. The Print-Writing which was introduced this term made it easier for the children to write their spelling words. The boys and girls in our room enjoyed do- ing finger painting and spatter painting at the noon intermission under the supervision oi Mrs. Gerhart. The posters of the children who did the best work were posted on the bulletin board in the hall. For the Spring Music Concert, we had a group of Songs and two Dances, and also played in the Rhythm Band. We wish all the teachers and students a pleasant vacation this summer. I Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and Recess were so 1 much fun. We were so happy our first year in school we hate to see it end so soon Page 15

School opened September the eighth with thirty five boys and girls enrolled in room fourteen. On November sixteenth Donald Koontz entered our school from Mt. Pleasant Township. We soon found out Donald was very good in art. Halloween was our first holiday. How beau- tiful some of us looked and how terrible oth- ers looked. We had a grand parade, followed by a party in our room. It seemed as if we had just gotten started well on our school work when it was time 'io get ready for Christmas. At first we thought we would play some rhythm band numbers but to put on a play and rhythm band both would take too much time from our regular school work. So we eliminated the rhythm band but continued it after Christmas with Tommy Kelly as director. First and second grade then decided to present the operetta, The Isle of Christmas Dreams. We portrayed many toys and animals and enjoyed getting it ready very much. The first week in May we presented the playette, Down on Old MacDonald's Farm with all the animals on the farm taking part. Our rhythm band at this time made their first appearance. See what we made and look at the guys and gals who made lf. . Relaxing for our picture in our happy workshop. Page 17
