T H E O W L -m Yi - i forty-lhree GRADE SCHOOL PRIMARY ROOM Although we are the tiniest folk in the Sunbury School we are given a space to tell the readers of the Owl who we are and what we are doing. When the school year of 1921-22 started September Fifth we had an enrollment of forty-five wide awake boys and girls. Twenty-three in the first grade and twenty-two in the second grade. We knew very little of school life and took up the new work with much enthusiasm. Just now we have twenty-three boys and twenty-three girls. Each grade has twenty-three pupils. Our percentage of attendance has been very good this year, the boys' average has exceeded the girls' by a few points. We are a happy lot of children and feel as to effi- ciency we are equal to any primary room in the state. The Golden rule is taught at the beginning of the school year and each child tries to remember its lesson in their work and play. We begin our daily program with a cheery Good Morning from teacher to pupil and vice versa. This is followed by a period of twenty minutes for song and story telling. After this we begin our classes in reading, phonics work, number work, nature study, language, drawing, writing, paper cutting, gymnastics and elocution. We observe each holiday of the year'with a special program and appreciate the many visitors we have, who show us by their coming that they are interested in the smaller children as well as the older ones. We extend a special invitation to each reader of the Owl to come and visit us. FIRST INTERMEDIATE ROOM Keep on the Sunny Side is our motto and so we are on the Sunny Side when Old Sol deems it wise to help us along, for we occupy the sunniest room allotted to the grades. The Primary pupils look in at the door to see the bright sunlight and like itso Well, that as soon as they successfully complete the work required in the Second Grade, come in to enjoy the sunshine with us. Of course the dreary days are not so nice, but nevertheless our work goes on from day to day. Silent Reading has been emphasized the past year, and we like our new Silent Readers which have been placed in our room. The teaching of Drawing has proven one of the most interesting features of our work, and trust it may be continued in the years to follow. Elocution is also deserving of mention. Oh yes, we almost forgot to tell you how many there are of us enjoying the sunshine. We started the school year with seventeen in the Third Grade and fifteen in the Fourth Grade, and at the present time have sixteen in the Third and fifteen in the Fourth. And now readers of the Owl if you wish to know more concerning our work, come and visit us in our room. FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES We are glad to have the opportunity to tell you something of ourselves and our work. The Fifth and Sixth Grades have a total enrollment of forty-eight wide awake boys and girls. Seven pupils have neither been absent nor tardy during the entire school year. The work in the Fifth Grade is not only a continuation of the work done in the Fourth Grade, but in addition we take up the study of Geography. In the Sixth Grade, History is added to the branches taught in the Fifth Grade. Although Drawing was introduced into the school this year. we have enjoyed the be- ginner's lessons very much and hope we may have the privilege of continuing them through to the High School. Besides our regular Elocution lessons given every Thursday Morning by Miss Kid- well, we are doing some work in Rhetoricals. The two grades are divided in sections, each section taking part on the program given every Wednesday morning. Every boy and girl has had some part in this work. We like to work but we also enjoy our play. Baseball seems to be the favorite sport for both boys and girls and we think we have already won some laurels. We are trying to live clean, straight, and honest lives, and want to do our part in making the Sunbury School one of the best schools on the map. GRAMMAR SCHOOL On the 24th of February, 1922, the Sunbury Grammar School gave its annual public entertainment. This program consisted of two parts. The first being the play A Patriotic Peanut Stand. The second part The Indian Princess an operetta. The pupils played their parts exceptionally well to a crowded house. The Sunbury Grammar School has shown its ability to do things as they have pur- chased a piano for their department also a sectional book-case well filled with good books. Thesg lilave added much to the enjoyment of the pupils and teacher of the Sunbury Gram- mar c oo . 4?
