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.

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.

Orland ..... . . . 19 St. Michael . . Orland .......... 12 W New Lenox ...... The grade-school basketball team had a season of hard battles. They suffered four losses mostly due to lack of height and too few players out for the sport. Credit for high scores of baskets goes to David Morlock and Lane Schrader. Rain stopped the grades' softball league as it did the high school games. Orland Park did play New Lenox, however, and won 8 to 7. Many of the same boys who participated in basketball also played softball. 0470
