EXPERIENCES TOGETHER The first grade started the school year with nineteen members. Everyone was anxious to learn to read and to - write. All have since mastered these skills. When studying about pennies, nickels, and dimes each brough a small amount of money and the class visited the grocery store. Throughout the year they had different units of study. They read books, viewed films, and drew pic- tures of Indians. The different types of plants and conditions needed for their growth were studied. Each had first hand observations watching their own seeds grow. Just before Thanksgiving they visited a turkey farm and before Easter a hatchery.

THE VOICE OF THE STUDENTS The purpose of the student council is to bring about a better understanding among stu- dents and teachers and to better school policies. The high school student council consists of ten members chosen by the student body, while the junior high selects eight pupils to represent them. The student council was in charge of the homecoming activities, arranging for movies and other assembly programs. With the help of Mr. Pickering and Mr. Arthur, these two groups have done much to make this a more pleasant school year. OFFICERS High School President .... . . . Bob Anderson Vice-President . ......
