Darryl Lowell, Jerry Shatzer, Carita Shipley, and Roy Williams. The teacher who had been hired for our room had a bad accident during the summer and was still in the hospital when school opened so Mrs. Marjjorie Joseph ol Wolf came as substitute teacher. She taught till November 1. Then Mrs. Lois Hallowell cam? to be our teacher. We have had a happy year and many good times together. We think six girls and twenty-two boys is just the right proportion and it will be just as good next year because when the sixth grade leaves to go into junior high, the third grade, who takes their place, has only on? girl. This year in music we learned our room’s song “Jolly Boys.” The part we liked best was “Slap. Bang. Here They Come Again!” We’ve had some nice parties. On Hallowe'en everyone went to the big Community Party that began with a wonderful bonfir? near Davis’ and ended in the hall where we played games and had lots to eat. Some of us won prizes for our costumes. Our teacher treated us to a party in school on Valentine’s Day. In May we had the best party of all when we went to Marcia’s ranch for a “Last Day of School” party. We had a wonderful time and all we could eat. We hope next year to have a party like that every month. For Stunt Night, w? put on an old time dance. Mrs. Joseph taught us the steps. The couples were: Carita Shipley. Clifford Kaufman; Barbara Addleman. Edward Keller. Helen Pelesky. Robert Kramer, Edna Keller. Roger Egan. At the Christmas entertainment we gave a play “Santa Claus Has the Measles.” David Schreibeis was Santa Claus and everyone laughed when he “groaned with pain. Last year w? collected bugs, cocoons, ants, and worms. We had a “science corner” on the back table. We took two science trips along the river, one last fall and one this spring. Even though our pockets were full of “souvenirs” we enjoyed the ice cream treats our teacher gave us at Tschirgi’s. One of the most pleasant things wz do is that each month we all draw scenes that might take place that month. The best drawing is chosen for our calendar for that month. Usually Helen Ann Pelesky, Peter Davis, or Edward Kukuchka are our best artists. Our most interesting topic was “Transportation.’’ In addition to drawing many ships, trains, and air- planes the fourth grade drew a fine map of Ranchester that is to represent our grade at the Sheridan County Art Exhibit. In May. all the girls and six of th? boys attended the Rural Choir in Sheridan. After the program our teachers treated us to all the ice cream we could eat. David Schreibeis ate the most.

John Puett. Clayton Schil- ling. Allan Ellsbury. and Lois Reeder. The most wonderful thing we did this year was to learn to be a rhythm band. Almost everyone learned to play just everything. By November we were so good that the Junior-Senior classes asked us to play between the acts of their play. In this we borrowed Jack Paulus who played th? xylophone solo to The Jolly Coppersmith.” Clayton Schilling was band director. Our parents said we stole the show.” By Christmas we were ready to give another program. This time we played “Jingle Bells” and “Santa Claus 1 5 Coming to Town.” Alexie Paulus was director this time. The prettiest, though, was when we sang softly “Silent Night” and “Away in a Manger.” At Stunt Night we sang songs and gave a choral reading. “Signs of Hallowe'en.” This was led by Charles Birdie. In May we were asked to play at the Sheridan County Rural Choir. By that time each of us knew all the required songs, too. so everyone earned a certificate in music. We’ve had lots of fun in our room. Besides being the best singers, we have the most interesting bulletin boards whs re there are always pictures or drawings about our studies. Our Christmas drawing of Santa Claur driving his sled through the blue sky full of gold stars was the prettiest picture this year. We also made Christmas candle decorations for our room. At Valentine time we exchanged valentines with the primary room at Dayton. The third grade wrote letters to their friends there. At Easter our teacher treated us to an Easter egg hunt. In February Bonita was seven years old and her mother gave her a birthday party. We all had lots to eat. In October we all went to Sheridan to see the slag- play “Pinocchio.” We liked the whole play but the best part was when his nose gr£w and grew. Last fall for social studies we took a hike to the Ranchester Park to learn about the Indian fight that once took place there. All the members of the second and third grades have made oral book reports of books the’ve read themselves. Mrs. McClintock in the Sheridan Library says she checkss out more books for our room than to any other single room in the county. 13

BOUQUETS TO SOME GRAND FOLKS It is no play on words that Mrs. Cook can cook! The hot lunch program has be- come an essential part of our school’s program and every effort is made to give as good a meal as is possible on the budget and supplies we have. Mrs. Cook serves an average of 67 meals each day—a total of over 9.500 lunches this year. Food costs approximately $1,500. In addition to this U. S. government surpluses and donations amounted to about $300. Help costs ran $850. Mrs. Cook s I chief helper and dishwasher were Margaret Kukuchka and Bob McStay. V f ' , MRS. HELEN COOK For the second year we have had the friendly help of Mr. Wolfe in keeping the school warm and clean. Although it would be silly to claim that 100 students are always considerate, surely consideration is the general rule, and the teachers have made an effort to teach cooperation and regard for the person who has the important and tiring job of keeping the building in good order and comfortable. The school may well reconsider the many favors, big and little. Mr Wolfe has done for all of us. A regrettable break in the smooth running of this school year came when Mrs. Pauline Moore. 7th-8th grade teacher, had to resign after two and a half years with us. She was one of the four teachers who came as strangers to Ranchester in the fall of 1946 and was. therefore, one who had helped in the transition of the school to what it is today. The first two years Mrs. Moore taught the intermediate room. We trust that memories of her stay here are as pleasant to her as they are to us. She will always have the good will and admiration of the entir? student body and this community. We feel it has been only coincidence, combined with the luckiest of good fortune, that has brought us a teacher «Mrs. Smith) with equal qualifications, and one who has been able to effectively take over Mrs. Moore’s good work. MR. GUY To. Mrs. J. P. McClintock and her pleasant staff. Mrs. Lillian Stuart and Mrs. Alma Grimes, the Ran- chester School snnds sincere thanks. A Ranchester teacher visits the library on the average of twice a week and the school checks out between 50 and 6T books per month. These vary from supplementary primary readers to books on ‘Why Democracy Works and the latest book- on science or business. Read- ers, which means those who have profited from an individual book, whether by a complete book report or by a specific reference for a special assignment, run approximately 6C0 a month in our school. It is on the basis of readers that the Library determines its propertionment for additions and replacements on its shelves. To the Ranchester School, the Carnegie Library is as essential as the typing room or the chemistry ‘Continued on Page 36) THE RANCHESTER RHYTHM BAND—THE MOST JOYOUS ORGANIZATION IN SCHOOL 14 •
