28 SHERMAN ANNUAL, JUNE, 1922 The Mexican Ungraded Room Some of the most interesting school work done in Sherman School is the work of the Mexican ungraded room. VVhen children come from Mexico very few of them are able to read, write, or speak English. It would be unfair to put them in with the American children who can all speak English. It would also be very unfair to the American children as it would keep them from advancing. For these reasons the Mexican ungraded room was organized. The children inthe ungraded room are taught many things- arithmetic, reading, writing, music, basket and mat weaving and various other subjects. More time is spent on English than on any other study. When a new pupil comes from Mexico he is usually very self conscious because very often he is old enough for High School, but knowing no English is unable to go. He soon learns to open windows or close the door at the tcacher's request. Then, after knowing what to do when the command is given, he soon learns to tell in English what he has done. Nearly all of the Mexican boys and girls like music. They are taught singing games and songs. This also teaches them English. They also have a Civic League. lt teaches them to become good American citizens. They are first given an opportunity to do something that will help their league and they then tell what they have done. This also helps their English. If there were no ungraded rooms in San Diego schools, there would be very few Mexican boys and girls who could speak English fluently. Not only does it help them in this way, but it also enables them to become better American citizens. Helen Stephens, 8A. tbl el eb! Donald-t'My dad is the most wonderful man in the world.

30 SHERMAN ANNUAL, JUNE, l922 SA Class Will We, the 8A Class of Sherman School, being of sound mind and of the age of eight years, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. Firstly: We hereby will and bequeath to Miss Shaw the five ce11t piece that was hidden for this purpose in the 8A1 class room. upon the condition that this nickel be divided equally among the pupils in her room. Secondly: We will to the 6A's the opportunity to harvest the wheat that for three or four decades has stood upon the shelf of the 8A1 room. Thirdly: We will to Mr. Dodd, our janitor, the toothpicks we left in Miss Welker 's waste basket in order to help keep the school warm in the future, and to save the Board of Education a fuel bill. Fourthly: To the 5A's we will the heart that is on the 8A1 blackboard. We have had a heart all through the year, so feel that they should have a heart for once. Fifthly: We will to the 6B's the teapot in the 8A2 room and hope that their teacher will not have afternoon teas as Miss Rose has had. Sixthlyz VVe will to the remaining classes all the playground apparatus. lt has been of great service to us. We have taken good care of it as they can see for themselves. lf they will have the rust taken off the basket ball frames, they will have a better appearance. They may have them nickel plated if they wish. We would have had it done ourselves but we have been too busy with our graduating. Seventhly: We also will to them the volley ball nets. The nets will be of more value if the 6A sewing teacher will have her class sew them up. Eighthly: We will to the entire school the old attic which has long been abandoned. In it we will the broken windows, the leaky skylight, the broken down benches, the squeaky spinning wheel, and all the other articles which have stood so long throughout the dark ages that now their only companions are spiders and their webs. . Ninthly: W'e will to them also the privilege of standing dur- ing assembly in the draughty hall downstairs. We hope that they will not have to spend as many weary hours in it as we have had to spend. Tenthly: To Mr. Boucher we will the memories of the happy days we have spent in Sherman School, with the hope that the coming years may be as happy for him as ours have been in the past. Done under our hand and seal, this 23rd day of June, in the year of our Lord, 1922. Signed, 8A Class of Sherman school. NVitnessed, Henrietta Rose, Sara B. Leisenring.
