Room 101 The hrst grade have been working very earnestly trying to do neat printing. Most of us have succeeded. We also have learned to read and know most of our addition facts whose sums are ten. The second grade have learned to write and spell. We flnished all the re- quired readers and read a number of supplementary readers taken from the book store. ln numbers we reviewed the additions facts and learned to subtract. Room 102 What changes six months bring! Forty little boys and girls came to Room 102 on September 7th bewildered. fright- ened, crying, and for a month adjust- ments were slowly but surely made. Among our friends at school, we found Dick. Jane and Sally, together with their friends and pets. Every day there were new stories, new pictures, and new keys lwordsl to unlock doors to a life time of reading and under- standing symbols. Our program has progressed pretty much as planned or would have, but for colds. measles. chicken pox, whooping cough, and mumps which have plagued us through the year. We have enjoyed this first year very much, and are eagerly looking forward to the fun and ioys that our second and future years will bring us. Room 103 On September 7, 1948 we came, to room 103, lf we found our nalqu:,ori'the board we knew we were in this room. We have all worked hard this year and have had fun doing it. Some of our special highlights this year were: Learning to write, reading for mean- ing and how to sound out new words, learning to spell, how to tell time, adding and subtracting. We made a book of children from other countries. We are looking forward to the third grade next year. Room 104 Our first unit of work was about ani- mals. We had fun making animal books. We put pictures and stories in our books. Some of the pictures we drew ourselves. At Christmas time we were busy and making gifts for our family. It gave us something to do in bad weather. We i--erked on our gifts during recess and when we had finished our other work. Our unit on Food was fun. Many people gave interesting reports about food. We were interested in how food grew, so we planted some seeds our- selves. We also had fun making a puppet stage. Our mothers helped us make the puppets. Of course, the most fun we had was acting out stories with our puppets. Room 1 05 The pupils of Room 105 have studied the world about us. We worked out simple experiments to explain what we see. We learned that people who do not know about nature make up strange stories to explain things they do not understand. We also studied well known poems for children. We learned to appreciate good poems by reading and listening to them. We all enjoyed the time we spent finger painting. It was fun to make pic- tures to show how we would like to spend a spring day. We also made a pic- ture of our dreams. Room 106 The class of 1957 had many interesting experiences this year. We traveled all around the world and have made model cities and villages of some of the places we have visited. We followed our jour- ney on individual maps too. While doing this, we also traced the history of our United States from the birth of Colum- bus up to the present time. We learned to appreciate our United States and to be thankful for our courageous fore- fathers. We have accomplished a great deal in math, English, health, and spelling. We learned to play together and be better citizens. We are looking forward to the fifth grade next fall and the opportunity to advance another step up the seemingly long ladder of education. A Time has passed so quidkly that we can hardly realize that it is again vaca- tion time. We are happy that we have completed the flfth grade arid would like .to tell you about some of the work and pleasures of the year. We enjoyed the int:-resting stories in our,readers. We l studied all about our own 'United States from our geography and history books. Every morning found us busy working problems in arithmetic. We have given reports, written letters, and practiced English usage throughout the year. Along with our study, we have had lots of fun playing games. Perhaps the outstanding of the season were the basketball games we played with other grades. The games were full of thrills and excitement and we are looking forward to a happy sixth grade year. Room 108 Our class had an enjoyable year in many ways. We were very enthusiastic about beginning our new books at the start of the year and they became less difficult to understand as we went along. We've learned to write autobiographies, diaries and news reports as part of our language class. We collected poetry and choice sayings of great men and put them in our own Memory Books. Christmas, Valentine, and birthday parties have been great fun through- out the year as well as an exciting elementary basketball tournament. Room 109 We have had a lot of fun this year. We had parties for Halloween, Christmas and Valentine Day. But like all other years in school we have had our hard studies. We went on imaginary trips to Baby- lonia, China, India, Greece, and to the Roman Empire. We learned many things about all these places. In arithmetic we learned about deci- mals. In health we are trying to eat foods that are good for us. We are trying harder to obey health rules. ln English we have learned how to use words, when to use them and what to use them with. Our room won the sales tax contest. The elementary grades had a basket- ball tournament. Our A team won. We have had a very enjoyable year. Seventh Grade This year we seventh graders came upstairs from the sixth grade. We found many new things all of which we liked. Some of the different things we have found are the change in periods, the different classes, and having different teachers for the different classes. We have had two new subjects this year. The boys have industrial arts, and the girls have home economics. We have found these very interesting. The boys especially liked their basket- ball games with other schools. We also enjoyed the clubs in which we belonged. ln general we like being upstairs, and being in the seventh grade. We are looking forward to next year's eighth grade. Eighth Grade During the year we have enjoyed studying many different things. ln Science we have studied the changing world, which is about the planets, air plants and animals around us, the changing landscape and our life in a changing world. History has been moving very fast this year. We studied about the building of our nation, and have learned the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, and The Pre- amble. We have enjoyed going to many seventh and eighth grade basketball games and seeing movies about our lessons. Freshman News The years 1948 and 1949 have been very progressive and happy for us. During the year we did many things. Our class had a party in November. It was a great success. We played nfany games, danced, and later had refresh- ments. In November the cheerleaders were chosen. Two of them who are in our room cheer for the reserve team. We welcomed several new members into our class this year and also had many to leave us. We, as Freshmen of the years 1948 and 1949 hope that the Freshman class of 1949 and 1950 have as happy and pro- gressive a year as we did. Sophomore News The Sophomores have had a very successful year. At our first meeting, we elected class officers. So far this year we have accomplished everything we have set our minds to. We are looking forward to two more things especially. They are one, getting to order our class rings, and two, going to Le Sourdsville the last day of school., We wish to thank Miss Lindsey for her help as our advisor. , M Junior News The Junior class started out a very successful year by electing very capable officers. All officers and committees worked very well in our activities. The first big activity was the sale of basketball pencils which were very successfully sold. Our dance was held in November with one of the largest crowds at a Ross dance. Our play Too Sweet for Sixteen was also very successful. In May the Junior-Senior Prom was held at the school, which was a gala affair. We all feel that we have had a wonderful year of activities and work and we all are looking forward to a successful senior year.
