FIFTH GRADE Fronl Row: Stephen Steinreich, Emery Leuchtag. Middle Row: Tom Roush, Blake McDowell, Jackie Griffiths, Sherry Reiss, Jack Davenport, Tom Wagner. Bock Row: Mike Hall, Fred Haake, Joseph Cirielle, Arthur Smith, Douglas Jennings. Absent: Bill Botzow. With picnic baskets packed full and two school station wagons loaded to the top, the fifth grade started their annual trip to Schoenbrunn in October to begin their study of pioneers around which their year's work centers in geography, history, reading, and art. Other highlights of fifth grade life were their swimming program for both boys and girls at the Y.W.C.A.g their Art Museum trip and Seiberling Rubber Company visit to study their own city, their outstanding performance of the play, The Proud Princess, which was performed for both Upper School and Lower School Assemblies and parents to earn money for the Assembly Room drapes. Near the end of the year fifth and sixth grades always take a three-day train trip together to some outstand- ing place of interest as the Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to see an industrial city. All such trips add much to the experience of living together in fifth grade. 54
