These are the plants we have: geranium, stone crop, wax begonia, sweet peas, spider- air-plant, and ivy. We have flaxseed, nas- turtium, fern, pussy willow, and creeping Charlie, too. 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

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. ' EDNA COHEN, EA3. 49-56-2-1- fl Child's Impression of rl i'Project When the project was taken out of Miss Cohen's room a little boy asked, Miss Cohen, don't you get lonesome without the snvs-as,nsnv-xnx.4ss.4vs4rsux4nfs4wx,4vs.vs4nsns,ns.4vs4 :A The journey of Oil from Earth to Machinery Oil is one of the greatest powers in the world. 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!

smxnaxeus.avxnnxnnun-xnnxuxux.nn-sux-vxnxnga PUBLIC SCIIOOL I73, MANHATTAN-JUNE, 1930 Our Bulbs Many of our pupils bought bulbs. They planted them in pebbles and gave them water, air and sunshine. Soon the bulbs be- gan to grow. Not long afterward, the school had an ex- hibit. Class 3Al had grown the finest plants. After the exhibit, the children took their plants home to surprise their parents. BETTY ROSENBERG, 3Al. 'K 66 -39 -I9 A Class Nature Room In our class-room we have pictures on the wall. Some of them are of birds. I like the birds. I like the bird pictures, particularly, the robin, crow, redheaded-woodpecker, red- winged-blackbird, barn-swallow and king bird. Most of them are seated on a branch. The barn-swallow is the only one flying. They are very pretty. That is why I chose them. BETTY Rosrinmino, 3Al. 5991-6946 Our flquariurn We have gold-nsh in our room in a bowl of clean water. We give the gold-fish food every other day. One of the fish is a fantail. The aquarium is on the same table with the plants. This makes the room look attractive. You will see our garden from the picture.

Yesterday I measured them and found them to be Hve inches. They make my mother happy. Doms GINSBERG, 3Al. X 42- -35 The Alligator The alligator we have in our Nature Room was born in Florida. On the underside of his body it is rather yellowish. His claws are very sharp. His skin is brown and black. He lives in the muddy water. I think it is great to have a Nature Room. ARTHUR EPSTEIN, ZAI. 'Y it -A K My Nature Reward Last spring seeds were sold in my school. I bought several packages of them. One ol' them was The Corn Flower. The corn flower seeds are little brown seeds. They take a month to bear flowers. When the exhibition was held I was very glad. At the end of our assembly period I received a banner and a medal for having one of the best plants. The medal was pre- sented to the school by the School Garden Association for the best plant grown by a pupil. IVIYRAL MINTZER, SA4. IIIIID GIIIID IIIIID GIIIID Page Twenty-two
