Hypnotized by the sensationalism of current events, they soon had reams of material for their bulletin hoard. Then they learned to knit and were suddenly whipping up bed socks for the Red Cross. How they found time to sing in the choir, act in the Lower School Operetta and present two choral selections for chapel is a mystery. As if this were not enough, they found the spunk to defeat the sixes” in kick-ball, 10 to 7! Surely this group will excel next year as seniors of the Lower School. Such energy!

Second, Zdiird and fourth Qtade Apple jelly, cinnamon rolls, vegetable soup and pasteurized milk have all passed the taste test given by the second grade this year in conjunction with their survey of foods. Studying about groceries and dairy products, they inspected Witt’s Market and the Northland Creamery to obtain information. Then, as portrayed in their class picture, they practiced buying and selling right in their classroom so that they would be worldly wise when purchasing that box of sugar for mother’s cake batter. Foot!, however, has not been all that’s been digested by the second grade; much to Northrop’s pride they absorbed their reader in record time! Besides reading, 'riling and Tithmctic, the third grade has been participating in all-school activities. The artists of the class had their interpretations of music displayed in Northrop Auditorium for the Dorati Exhibition, and two other members of the class made their debuts in the Christmas Play and Sense and Sensibility.” Also, they have become regular skaters; eyes, and not ankles turn when they glide on the ice. But all of the third graders will agree that the climax of the year came when they attended the Father-Daughter Banquet for the first lime. Time has flown as the fourth grade sped through the school year on a tour of the country. Under Miss McCoy’s resourceful direction, the girls took a trip with an American family during their Social Studies period. They started in lx s Angeles and eventually arrived in Washington. D. C., going by way of many fascinating places. Also, through the aid of Lincoln logs and colored sawdust, a complete setting of their reader came to life in the classroom, making those unfamiliar words live in the form of a story. Miss Indihar has taught them to play symphonettes, and everyone was proud of them when they played at the 1-ower School Christmas Program and the Father-Daughter Banquet.

Sixth Qrade Shouldering new responsibility as seniors of the Lower School, the sixth grade has more than proved its ability and originality. Many a person was cheered on Washington’s Birthday by his colorful tray mats or pipe cleaners which the girls had made for the Red Cross. A large Afghan is now covering some convalescent veteran, also, because of their handiwork. The Twcener Times, the Lower School magazine, was never more packed with news and color than it was when the sixth grade supervised its publication. But these arc only a few of the memories they'll leave at Northrop. The quick click of busy knitting needles, the scratch of pencil on paper, the giggling after whispered secrets and the self-assured footsteps are the marks of the sixth graders. wm
