We soon set to work and the bridge was finished in less than three weeks. Every- thing was made by the children. When it was taken down to the gym- nasium it made quite a showing. The water, the trees and the New jersey side made the coloring very beautiful. We had no idea of prizes but when outsiders came to visit the school, many of them chose our project. The next morning Miss Hynes announced that we had won. We were very happy to get the prize, which was a beautiful geog- raphy book.

Therefore, I would like to tell you its story. Rocks are examined for traces of oil be- fore derricks are built over the spot where evidence of oil has been found. The drill is then used to strike the oil, which is to be mined from the earth. The smallest wells are not less than Hve hundred feet deep, while the largest is not more than eight thou- sand feet. The miners drill for many days before they strike the oil under the surface. The oil is then forced into the air, and is known as a gusher. Sometimes it spouts for many weeks or months until the well is dry. Now it is packed into cars and sent to the refinery, where it is purified. It is then made into by-products, such as vaseline, gasoline, kerosene, tar and naptha. Hereafter, when you ride in an automo- bile, motorboat, or airplane, or see a gas engine at work, listen and see if it says, I use Petroleum. Without Petroleum, I project ? couldn't run!

It was one of the biggest events P. S. 173 has had as yet. The projects were exhibited in the third floor gymnasium. More than four hundred people visited the exhibit. This included teachers and pupils from other schools. We are glad to announce that SAI and 5A3 won the first prize, 5133 the second prize and 0132 the third prize. Miss llynes and the Parents' Association presented prizes of money and books. LEROY IVIILLARD, 5131. NNE!-75 Our Project Every class in the school made a project. We made an apple project. We were to show how apples grow and how they are brought to the City. Each child was to think of something to make the project nice. I liked making the project very much. I'l0WARD Moskowitz, ZAI. The Project I Liked Best The project I liked best was the model of The lludson River Bridge. It showed the shape of the shores of New York and New jersey. When Hnishecl, the bridge will be the biggest suspension bridge in the world. The model looked very realistic. PAULA OBERNDORF, 4A3. Irrigation Irrigation is, as most of us know, a method of watering the land artificially. It is one of the most marvelous things the world has ever known. Before this wonderful thing called irriga- tion was discovered, the farmers in dry areas had to wait for the rain to water their crops. Now, they are quite independent as to their water supply, because when there is not enough rain to give suflicient water to the crops they are irrigated by means of water. This flows from the dam or reservoir in which it is stored, into ditches which have openings, so that the water may flow into the land. Thus, dry land has been made fertile. HELEN ROSENBLUM, 6BZ. '55 46 -76 -Je Irrigation We haven't any flowers, No scenery here or there For if we had some flowers, We wouIdn't feel despair If there only was a way, We would be very glad, But then we really had to say That people were so sad. One day there came some Spaniards Who taught them something new, They showed us how to water land And we are telling you. J CLARA FARRELL, 6132. Page Nineteen

We never forget to water them, because if we don't, they will die. They give us much pleasure. ANToiNETTE Bono SCHULTE, 3AI. y Page Twenly-one
