The girls started off the year by studying and exhibiting science material. When they had finished this study, they turned their attentions to various foods, and their distribution. I o follow this up, they took excursions to Witt’s Market and to a creamery. In the spring, they went to the Post Office, a railroad station, and the airport, in order to gain a larger knowledge of the various methods of modern transportation. The girls wrote many original poems and stories, and at Christmas they directed their own pageant. Mrs. Valley had lots to be proud of this year' Second Grade L. Bagley, A. Wakefield. L. Aldrich. C.

Third Grade During their extensive study of Indians, this class was fortunate in having a deer skin tepee on display in their room, with many other items which were brought in by the girls themselves. Third graders have-found much enjoyment in playing the Harmony Pipes with grades five and six in the Lower School Band. They have developed an interest in painting, which increases when third grade masterpieces appear on display in the halls. In their reading, they have visited many a foreign country. They have made several pamphlets which describe the various places the girls have studied. 24

Howard First Grade This energetic class went to the Kenwood Gardens early last tall where they found specimens of many flowers. In their class room they built a house, and following its completion, they sewed napkins, and made dishes of clay. A salient fact throughout the Lower School this year was that the first graders had made what they named the Northrop Grocery Store. While the Store was in construction, the class visited Witt’s Market, where they watched men making sausages and curing hams. At Christmas, the girls made gifts to l c exchanged at their Party. Northrop is proud of the interest the Kindergarten has shown this year by participating in the allschool affairs. The four children who entered their dogs in the Dog Show all won ribbons. The group also contributed exceptionally well in the Clothes Drive for Korean Children. At Christmas, the class entertained their parents with songs and a dramatization. Valentine’s Day was exciting for all Kindergarteners, as they designed their own gifts and cards preceding a special Valentine party. The Kindergarten had a great deal to do with the Spring Festival, which was held in May, to finish a very successful year. Kindergarten Around table: M. Levy It. McDonald I. . Lubov I . Proffit M.
