Words are mortar that holds our foundation together- It is through words we understand and make answers understood. Vt lt To read a weather map cor- rectly is not easy unless you understand the signs. Steve Alabaster measures the relative humidity with a paycrometer, J oy Notowich interprets a weath- er map, and Bill Lyons measures the temperature daily with a thermometer. Fractions in arithmetic are difficult for most of us, but our work is made interesting by finding practical application in stores and newspapers as shown by Jonathan Amy, Harris Van- derford, Clarence Dailey, Susan Stephenson, Beverly Sullivan, and Judy Sheffield. iv A , .qu Map work makes geography interesting. We have political, physical, and historical maps. We make maps to show indus- tries and products of South America. Barry Wiener, Richard Vaughn, Abby Byall, and Donna Copeland show their work. Bobby Bowers and Mary Ann Bryan are checking their hand writing by a key in order to cor- rect their defects in penmanship.

The new part of our foundation that we build in our seventh year is the first to be above the surface and to show the kind of work we did during the first six grades. The places in our foundation showing the weakness in our number work, reading, and consideration of the rights of others is now in evidence. HERE WE ARE AT WORK From the study of Tennessee History, we seventh graders learn much concerning the early growth of our state. We read about the first settlements, the development of government from settlements to territory, and about the men who took leading parts in the early development of Tennessee. Judy Sheffield is reporting on the Constitution of 1796 and on John Sevier who was the first representative to Congress. 30

The purpose of our study of vocal music is to learn to do part singing and recognize the different parts and voices.

Through this medium we form correct habits in written and spoken English. ln literature We learn to read for enjoyment as well as information. Art develops an appreciation of color, distance, and propor- tions. It is a way that we can express a special talent for pic- turing our thoughts instead of speaking them.
