Underclass Activities First Graders were proud when fingers finally learned to write their names; when marks” under a picture could tell a story; and when they learned to count. Their ac- tivities were more fun when they worked with their new friends. The boys and girls have had fun learning to live together. The activity which the Second Grade has selected for the year is Our Father’s Work.” We made a trip to White’s Hall to see one of the father at his work. Reading, numbers, spelling, language, music, writing, art, and science were used in this activity. During November an interesting activity on Turkeys” was begun. A trip to Mr. Neeley’s turkey farm helped us considerably. Tablets were sold and sales tax stamps were collected. This gave us experience with numbers. For Christmas, the children made gifts for their parents. Second Graders at the Children's Home were remembered with gifts. The Third Grade completed three special projects this year (Indians, Eskimos, and Birds) in addition to their regular school work. Special posters, drawings, exhibits, and reference reading material were used in these projects. The Fourth Grade organized the class and elected officers in September. In October, we made a trip to the library. For our Christmas activity, we sent a box of new Christmas cards to the Veterans’ Hospital in Chillicothe, and a box of old Christmas cards to Cere- bral Palsy in New York. The Fifth Grade studied about early American History. In Geography class, we saw movies from all parts of the United States. We made trips to the Brooks Shoe Factory in Nelsonville and the Marietta Museum. In art class we made posters, clay figures, braided lanyards, and practiced some weaving and book binding. In science, we learned about elec- tricity, conservation, metamorphosis, bird life, and trees. We ran a store for school sup- plies. The Sixth Grade entered into some important activities. The first activity was a par- ty for pre-school children. Next came the pet show. Then came the tea sponsored by the Fourth Grade. Last came the most exciting event of all, Commencement. This meant but one thing, they would soon be in the High School Building where they would feel much more grown up. To earn money, the Seventh Grade raffled candy and a pie. They also sold Indianhead pins and helped with magazine sales. The class held a Christmas party and gift exchange. This year the Eighth Grade was the largest class in the high school. There were fifty-eight members in the class. The class started making their quota of money which will pay their expenses in their Senior year. They have sold socks, seeds, and purses. They were leaders in the school’s magazine subscription drive. The Ninth Grade sponsored and promoted the Silver Savings Bank. An up-to-date street map of The Plains Community was compiled by the class. For social recreation they enjoyed a Christmas party and a spring picnic. We earned money by selling home- made candy and magazines. We ended the year with approximately $ 100 in our treasury. The Tenth Grade participated in the school magazine drive. For Christmas, we had a party and exchanged gifts. We gave a pep assembly entitled Comics on Parade.” Members of the class portrayed well known comic characters and gave short pep talks. The Eleventh Grade sponsored a sock dance. It was held in the high school auditorium. Everyone that entered checked their shoes in and danced in their socks. The Juniors held a banquet for the Seniors this spring. We also had a Thanksgiving program. 18
