I g I Roctia SHERMAN Sciioot The Roger Sherman School refiects a consistent educational pattern in all its activities. Un stim- ulating visits to the learning spots of New Haven, little tots and sixth graders saw electric eyes, park drainage systems, and railroad trains, and seldom did the daily classroom program lapse into. monotony, for Roger Sherman folks dabbled impressionistic friezes, danced Mexican dances, and built modern- istic Urocerf stores. A bdepargure from the traditional this year was a Christmas pageant beautifully reproducing the religious and festive spirit of the Christian and Jewish faiths. In a child-directed pageant interpreting the origin and present-day celebration of Hanukah, mystic lighting and makeshift costumes created a series of effective scenes. Later, there was the friendliness of carol singing by groups of parents and children around the Christmas tree. Two pleasant libraries with their thousand volumes offered daily recreation to young readers. With new books such as Copper-Toed Boots, The ClZiZ62iT87Z,5 Slzakesjbenre, and Little Eagle, they found unexpected information and pleasure. True to the ideals of their name-sake, the upper-graders began two creative scrap books - one, a pictorial review of the history and contributions of Roger Sherman, the other giving free play to all materials on this topic. Then, in April, at exercises held in observance of the 2ISth birthday of Roger Sherman, the benediction, several prominent speakers, and group singing preceded the presenta- tion to the school of a United States Government book-plate bearing the likeness of Roger Sherman. .twf ,

HENRV BARNARD Scuoot Puppets and alabastine, tambourines and primers-- these are some of the educational symbols of the Henry Barnard School. Nurtured in the philosophy that men cannot live by bread alone, the children live days of enrichment, both practical and aesthetic. With a semi-rural environment where the string-bean and petunia variety of kitchen gardening is not unusual, Barnard youngsters are offered a bit of useful pedagogy. Flower seeds are purchased in the early spring, planted in carefully prepared plots, and coaxed into reality through a summer of religious watering and weeding. Then, in early September, these floral offerings are gathered together and exhibited in a gaily artistic Hower show. With a green hilltop setting, encircled by a sweep of free land, Barnard has few limitations as to varied activity. A loggia-like pavement of grey stones in the yard offers a natural stage for creative out-of-door dramatic play, and only this year a portion of the grounds has been transformed by a tiny white picket fence into a play paradise. An orchestra of small but tuneful proportions has been instituted and with its retinue of young instrumentalists has helped to foster musical appreciation and expression. Internal growth was also evident this year in the installation of a permanent local library open bi-weekly to Barnard pupils. Directed by Miss Edna Ballard, this young library with its cartoon posters on library living and its stack of fresh new books has been hailedlas a further step -up-grade in an already well-advanced school. , . . . , x., ,.. . . fi .. . ,.-.r ., . .. ef iw- 'ta I 9 N i
