Two of the highlights of the year were the American Education Week Program held in November and the Spring Program held in March. Choral speaking was introduced in these programs as well as two part singing. Some very interesting radio programs were listened to; Professor Gordon’s music program being the favorite among the pupils. Much library reading was done by a number of the pupils. County Library books were available which made a much better selection of books. A set of Social Studies books was also purchased. Several projects were carried on in the classes. One of the most interesting projects being a product map of Wisconsin. Another was a study of the village of Oakfield. During the first two months of school the seating arrangement of our room was quite a problem. In November the question was settled for the new desks arrived. With these new desks and the new arrangement the room has become a very pleasant place in which to study.
