During the second period Jerry Hill moved back from Upper Sandusky which made 43 in our room. During the year we lost six children to other schools and Charles Barton by death. Joe Beaver from Ritman school attended our school for a few weeks. We had an epidemic of flu and of scarlet fever which was very bad for us and our attendance record. Mrs. Robert Walton was our substitute teacher while Mrs. Grandstaff was quaran- tined. She helped us celebrate at our Val- entine party. Other happy events of the year were the Carnival, when we played in the toy orchestra, the Christmas movie and gift exchange and the movie Charlie's Aunt. We gave money to the Junior Red Cross and the March of Dimes. We purchased twelve new library books and toy money with stamp tax money. So far there are four girls and one boy with perfect attendance records. We have two sets of twins in our room. They are Paul and Pauline McDermott and Donald and Ronald Grandstaff.

Ernestine Wilson was here for three weeks. ln March Lucille Walton left the group to attend school in Wharton. During the year ours has been an able and willing group. We have contributed willingly and heartily to the various nation- al drives, Junior Red Cross, Red Cross and March of Dimes. We have taken part in the various school programs. A group with some Fourth Graders gave a minuet for the Washington Birthday assembly. We took part in the grade operetta Tom Sawyer. Along with enjoying our Christmas gift exchange and Valentine box we have en- joyed our work. Many have brought in pictures, stories and articles that pertain to our school work. James Stever brought a fine shell collection, both snails and clams. Many brought sou- venirs from fathers, uncles, brothers, and cousins from various spots overseas. Altogether we have received much help from our books, conservations and movies. We hope to remain as a studious and coop- erative as we are now, and we will be a fine class all the way through school, Good luck to the class of l9'55.

Our enrollment at the beginning of the year was 28. Jean Ruffing and Lois Walton moved from our district. Carolyn Chance, Linda Wagner, and Bobby Hill joined our group and remained with us while Roberta Price, Evelyn Morris and Ronald Wilson joined us but moved away before the close of school. Each child received a penny for every IOO in spelling. As a birthday re- membrance each one received a large pencil. Because of a flu epidemic and lack of coal, school was dismissed three days earlier than anticipated for the holiday vacation. For this reason we did not have our gift exchange until January. A Valentine box caused much excitement in February. Rosalie Secoy and Norman Burkhart have perfect attendance records at this writing.
