Four pupils, Barbara Van Horn, Glayds Taylor, Alice Bunn, and Donald Bish, have left our district, while two, Paul Funkhouser and Norman Metzger, have joined us during the school year. This group has again been included in the department plan whereby Mrs. Stose, Mr. Osborn, and Miss Jacoby share in the teaching ot academic subjects to the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. Special emphasis has been placed on rhythmic expression in music and on creative art and handwork. With our country's participation in the war ever increasing in intensity, the group has con- tributed generously to the drives and activities which help to bring ultimate victory. -26-

The measle epedemic surely interrupted our perfect attendance record during the early part ot the school term. The ilu which followed later didn't improve the attendance any. At Christmas all of us took part in the grade operetta Thirty Minutes With Santa Claus. We had a gift exchange and each one also received a box of candy. We've generously contributed to the scrap metal drive, USO, Junior Red Cross, War Fund, TB Seals, and March ot Dimes. Many of us are buying stamps, also, to till Defense Stamp books So tar we have collected 312.00 in Sales Tax Stamps. With this money we are buying books for our library and other equipment to be used in our grade. All in all, we think our grade is doing it's share in upholding the limelight of the Syca- more Villege School. -25..

We are always glad to have girls and boys move into our community and en roll in our room. Vfe have helped as have other groups with all the calls that Uncle Sam has made through various organizations. . Many of us have entertained the measles and bad colds. Our attendance hasn't been as good as we have wished, but we have tried to work hard. The boys have outnumbered the girls 26 to165 let us say in number but not in activity. Vie have enjoyed our year, and are proud oi our school. Above all we are proud of being young Americans. ..Q7-
