THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES Our enrollment was twenty-six, twelve third graders, seven fourth graders and seven fifth grad- ers. Three of these children come from the Palos country school. We have had several major proj- ects this year. These included an imaginary trip to California, transportation, Holland, birds, coal, and of course Christmas. For Christmas we tried something we had DOI done before-paper mache Santa Clauses. Our two big trips were to the Union Depot and to the Museum of Science and lndustry. Kea Lynn Leavitt has brought her easel for us to use this year. We got another easel and Ray Estand made us a beautiful new bookcase. Besides a lot of birthdays, our three very special parties were on Valentines Day. Christmas and Halloween. Several of the boys played on our grade school basketball team. They were Van Iinblom, jackie Carrier, jay Morlock and Bobby Eitel.

THE MINOR LEAGUES SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES We began this school year with an enroll- ment of 29 pupils. The sixth grade is the largest class with 15. There are 7 students in the seventh grade and 7 in the eighth grade. Our first social affair of the year was the Halloween Party. The Spook House was the highlight of this event. Many of the boys and girls came dressed in vari- ous costumes. On the day preceding Christmas holidays, several members of the class presented a play based on Dickens' Christmas Carol. We in- vited the children from the other grades to see the play. Later we had our Christmas Party and gift exchange. Shortly after the beginning of the second semester, Paul Mell joined our sixth grade class. He was not enrolled at the time the group picture was taken. The Valentine Party provided much enjoyment for all of us. An artistic piece of work was demonstrated by the valentine box committee. On March 15, our room made a trip in the school bus to visit the Museum of Natural Science and lndustry. We saw many interesting exhibits of mans industrial achievements. This school year will reach its climax on june 3, with the eighth grade graduation exercises.

FIRST AND SECOND GRADES The current school year found fifteen first graders enrolled with ten second graders, seven of them commuting via taxi cab. Their chief con- cern was to learn to read, and in so doing to cor- relate home life, school life and community life. They worked out special projects including the story of milk, with a bus trip to Maple Grove Farm, and the local Milk Depot, using a play milk store to buy and sell milk in their sunny school room. The sand tables was used in turn to build a modern farm fin connection with a six room play houseb, to build a primitive Indian village and hnally to build an Eskimo village as described in The Eskimo Twins. To find information and more books, several planned trips were made to the local library, where they got their library cards and learned to take out and return books, in a regular habit form- ing way. They also developed a very popular Book Exchange in the school room, as well as a Toy Exchange. With the help of their enthu- siastic parents, this class won an unusual number of room awards, which were used to buy children's picture dictionaries, the room Christmas tree, and more nnger paints and water colors. This class is exceptionally fond of illustrating, and have a keen appreciation of the line arts and are generous givers as proved by their winning contributions to the March of Dimes.
