...L l -fr-.l Ziiiii-'T-The Work of the Fifth and Sixth Grades'-ll-J-'- Z School opened on Sept. 4, 1916 with an attendance of thirty- three of which thirteen were members of the Sixth grade. From the first we all strove to have a right to climb the stairs next fall. There has been little change among our number for we now number eleven. Tressia Koster left us soon after school commenc- ed. A short time before mid-year examinations were we joined by Ora Parkhurst who stayed but a short time. Next Mildred Rhodes left us. Outside of these there have been no changes. We have had a great deal of trouble with arithmetic, geography and grammar. Percentage problems sometimes look like great im- passable walls, but once we get the key to them they disappear like magic. In geography we have studied the different sections ot the United States. her dependencies and territories, study of the earth as a whole, standard time. winds and rain and ocean movements, their effects. W i4 In grammar the eight parts of speech, correct uses of words and compositions. European history was taken. At first it seemed very hard. But we were told to make ourselves live inhi old times to make it easier. So now we don't consider it so hard. But instead find it very interesting those stories of the beginning of civilization, the de- velopment of the christian religion, the Roman empire in her prime, feudalism, the Crusades and exploration and conquests of the New World. ' In reading, outside of our text books, The King of the Golden River and The Great Stone Face were studied. In preparation of every lesson we studied with dictionary for the meanings of the words not understood. Both written and oral spelling were studied. So we will finish this term with hard Study and many hopes for upstairs. MARY W1LuAMs JUNE Llc:-rrsoor MAE LAUGHLIN
