Along with learning facts and obtaining knowledge and using that owledge learned, we see that responsibilities come with life and ve to be met. As we progress we realize that what we get out of hool depends upon what we put into our Work. Our foundation de- nds upon the start we make in the first grade. 3 ,Y

The first nine grades of our school life are concerned with laying a strong firm foundation. We learn to control our hands so we can hold a pencil, chalk, and crayons and to make letters and numbers which are necessary tools. To use these tools well is the first step in our readiness for future learning. Our first problem is to draw our own hand and to print our own name under the pictured hand. Kim Evans has drawn hers. When we had learned to use our pencils andrcrayons we made a plan of the neighborhood in which our school is located and where we live. Mrs. Horton, our teacher, showed us how to come to school from our house and where to cross the street. We learned lots and had fun.
