During the past semester our room has been writing to boys and girls in foreign countries. We believe this helps to create a better understanding between countries.

Countries from which letters have been received are: Northern Ireland, Wales, Germany, Nova Scotia, and four states of Australia.

We lost one girl, Julene Day, who moved to Des Moines. However, we have four new girls this year. Sue Riordan, came to us from Birmingham, Iowa. Sue has lived in many interesting places, including a two-year stay in Yorktown, Virginia, and a three-year residence in Hawaii. Carol Berhar formerly attended Elm Grove School in Des Moines, and Judy Cunningham and Linda Guiberson both attended Lincoln Jr. High last year. We had four girls with perfect attendance records the first semester. 'Ihey are Roberta Baker, Carol Berhar, Linda Guiberson and Carol McKay. Charles Dewey, Norman Haines, Duane Hankins, Donnie Sargent, and Tony Spencer were the boys with perfect attendance the first semester. This fall the seventh and eighth grades went to the General Motors Exposition in Des Moines. This was a pictorial display of the progress our country has made in science and in industry during the last few decades. lt was also a look into the future and a preview of the changes we may expect to see. Our class also visited the Des Moines Public Library where we had the opportunity to see how the thousands of books, covering subject material of every sort, are all catalogued and put in their proper places so that anyone desiring information of any sort may find it quickly and easily. We learned how useful the card index file in the library is when we want to secure information. Members of our class were on the Boys' and Girls' Junior High Basketball Teams. We played several games and participated in the County Junior High Tournament.

In February, while we were studying about weather in science, Bobby Fleming s father visited our class to talk to us about the weather bureau and the weather. We returned Mr. Fleming's visit when we made a trip to the Des Moines Weathe r Bureau, where we saw the various instruments and machines which are used in charting our weather. While at the airport, we watched some airplanes and visited Des Moines Radio. Our trip was interesting and we felt it helped us in our studies.
