The students of this age take an active interest in organized sports. The Junior High room sponsored two basketball teams this year, the Aces composed of the bet- ter players, and the Funks which was organized as a second team. The Aces went to the finals in the annual grade tourney, being defeated by the Fairplain team from lien ton Harbor. The Junior High also sponsored girls' basketball and softball teams, and a boys’ softball team. Music plays an important part in the activities of the Junior High. Each week, two periods are devoted to vocal music, under the supervision of Mrs. Myers. Ap- proximately twenty pupils from this room are members of the Band or Orchestra. In addition to band and orchestra rehearsals, these students receive group or indi- vidual instruction on various instruments from Mr. Null. One period a week is devoted to art work, giving the pupils interested in this kind of work an opportunity to develop their talents. Science is offered to the seventh and eighth grades. This is the students’ first introduction to science in a formal course. He has had science in the lower grades, but it has been more incidental. In this course a textbook is used and many interest- ing experiments are performed in connection with the course. Both the laboratory and the classroom are used for these experiments. Students of the Junior High are quite active in various extra-curricular affairs. Many of them are members of various groups such as the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the 4H Clubs. During the winter months, when it is impossible to play outside, the Junior High room had the use of the gymnasium at noon for recreational purposes three days a week. All is not work in the Junior High room. Frequently it is possible to combine work and pleasure in a way that gives the student the benefit of both. Mr. Eccles read several outstanding book-length stories to the students as a part of the opening exercises each morning. Realizing that students work better in pleasant surroundings, several of the 4H boys refinished the tops of the desks by sanding and scraping and then staining them. ttitjv ttreaty

In the Intermediate or Later Elementary grades, the children continue their ac- quaintance with the three “R’s.” Geography and history are introduced in these grades. There is a room library, containing books of interest to the children of these grades. The child also gains much from stories and articles that are read to him by the teacher. Children in these grades are ready to become acquainted with reference material. For this purpose, the room has a new set of the Encyclopedia Britannica, Junior. These books are very popular with the children, both for reference work, and for the pictures and stories as well. Children of the third grade begin their study of geography by making a booklet of pictures of “Children of Other Lands” and listening to stories about each country. This project is continued in the fourth grade, where the children make booklets, pictures and work at sand tables. Other projects are undertaken, such as the one on page 19. The children had just completed the study of the Southern States. Posters were made showing the products of these states. Pictures were collected from maga- zines and mounted on paper. Such projects not only make the subject seem alive to the pupils, but serve to fix the subject matter more firmlv in th r m-ncb. In the study of language, the child learns to express himself, orally and in writ- ing, rather than learning the formal principles of grammar. The child expresses himself orally by telling of his experiences. He writes about these same experiences on paper, reading them sometimes to the rest of the class. The study of history is commenced in these grades. Not the dull, dry history that many of us think of, but history from the hero worship point of view. Children of this age are interested in great men. The study of history is developed around stories of the great men of history. Music classes are held twice a week, under the direction of Mrs. Myers, music supervisor of the school. In these grades the syllables, spaces and lines are learned. Songs are learned by rote, and by reading notes. Some of the popular songs suitable for children are included. S E C O N D R U N G Front row, left to right: Irene Kuball. Joan Kronos, Betty Wagner.
