Page Eighteen The Shipbuildor The sixth grade has been studying about electricity in science and we have been doing a number of experiments. In history we are studying about Thomas Edison. This is connected with our science, because he was the inventor of electric lights. In our class we are also bringing in class dues so it will help at the end of the year when we have our class trip. We are also trying to be courteous to our teachers and schoolmates. Geraldine Henderson, Grade 6 The sixth grade painted SPCA posters. There were six posters that were chosen by Mr. Booth. They were painted by Jane Ford, George Loring, Fay Thomas, Dale McMullen, Lorraine McManus, and Don- ald Norris. They were entered in a state contest. We have not found out who won the prizes. Donald Norris, Grade 6 Sixth Grade Boat Race In our room we are having a sailboat race. The class has been divided into four teams. Each team has a sailboat. We put speliing and arithmetic averages on it. We have had a sailboat race once before. Team three won the hrst race. The mem- bers of the team were given the privilege of doing what they wished for a few minutes. Ena Jackson, Grade 6 Courtesy One day Ruth and Bill were walking up the stairs toward the lunchroom in school. Bill was behind Ruth and did not even offer to open the door for her. Ruth walked off without Bill. He wondered why she didn't wait for him. He hadnt thought that he might have been discourteous at first. Then he remembered that he had forgotten to open the door for Ruth. The next day when they walked up to lunch, Bill opened the door for Ruth, who said, Thank you and Ruth waited for Bill and walked to the tables with him. Courtesy always helps to make friends.

One of Miss Harris's Geometry prob- lems that even Einstien can't solve. Speaking diametrically from a stand- point of complete absurdity: if two dia- metrical circles with octagonal peripheries should collide with a centrifugal igono- metry, what would the catastrophe exert on a crystallized codtish suspended by the tail to hypogenous rafters in the em- porium????
