S-I-H-I-S Fifth Grade G . fm- F5 tv The Fifth Grade started the school year of 1942-1943 with twenty-eight boys and twenty-two girls, making a total of fifty, the largest group in the first six grades. It was necessary after the opening session of school for the janitor to move in more desks to accommodate our large group and you can be sure the surplus space in our room is limited. During the early fall Margaret .loan Klaiss informed us she was moving with her parents to Houston, Texas. She withdrew from our school on October 4. The routine of school duties proceeded as usual until November when it was decided that the grade pupils should present the operetta, Scrooge's Christmas before the holiday season. George Franklin Harper was chosen to play the part of Scrooge. All the other Fifth Grade boys and girls took part, either with the main chorus or in divided groups. In December, Clarence Arnold reported he was moving to Toledo to reside with his father and mother. About this time, Genevie Giles, mentioned she was moving to another community. We didn't take her seriously until December 3 when she turned in the textbooks, workbooks, etc., and said she'd be attending school at McCutchenville the following Monday. The last pupil to leave our ranks is Mary Louise Haudenshild and sorry to say we haven't learned where she moved. During the current year our group has contributed 1,097 lbs. to the scrap metal drive last fall, 33.80 to the U.S.O., 51.40 to the Junior Red Cross and 31.83 to the recent Red Cross Drive along with contributing to some room expenses. fSh-h-h, we're sorry too, that it happened.l At the be- ginning of 1943 we began more whole-heartedly to buy Defense Stamps and to date we've pur- chased S96.80 in 10 and 25 cent stamps. We wouldn't want it said that the Fifth Grade didn't help in the great task of Beat the Axis! Our class officers are as follows: President ....................... .,..,..,. R OMA SWIHART Vice-President ...... ,. ................. JUNIOR RIEDEL Secretary ..............i. ............................. N ED GREGG Treasurer ,,,,,,,,,,, .......... D ICHER SHELLHOUSE -33-
