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.

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.

This interesting group, which greatly impresses the rest of the school is a relatively new one. (iirls in grades three, lour, five and six participate. The third graders play the Harmony Pipes and the Child’s Flutes, and the girls of the fourth grade accompany them with their Harmony Chimes. The fifth graders play the Symphonettes. It is a great honor to a sixth grade girl when she has her turn at directing the hand, and perhaps even more so when she plays the big drums. This organization has several numbers in its repertoire, including many of the popular Christmas Carols, “Amaryllis,’ several marches, anti their favorite piece, “The Minnesota Rouser.” With Miss Indihar, they rehearse together once every two weeks. Special occasions on which they have performed include the Father’s and Daughter’s Banquet, an annual affair for the Lower School, and at Christmas, when they serenaded the school from the halls. This Band is unique, and fascinating to the Up| er School, because of its talent and perfection. Lower School Orchestra
