BOYS' ACTIVITIES bagan working at our activ- ities on December 1, 1939 after a long season of football and basket- ball. There were five beginnero. They had to work at things that were not sc complicated. The purpose of the activities is to benefit us in the future. Since we started working at activ- ities we were r.ble to make nicer things and that were harder to make. So far they seem to be a success. The things we made are going to be ! taken to the fair where they will be judged and prizes will be given acording to how nice the object is. Marvin Hahn and Kenneth Lange began by making a tool box. Donald Musack made a neck tie rack. Clyde Bandlow is making a table. Reuben Bintzler is making a book stand. Orville Beck has made a comer table and a pedestal. Robert Hartman and Elmer Steger are making a General Science Chart of the Solar System. Richard and J?.me3 are building a model airplane. Marvin Hahn and Kenneth Lange are making new things. Kenneth is making a cabinet and Marvin is making a corner 3helf. ---Elmer Steger

GIRL ACTIVITY PERIOD In the fall when the weather was too cold to play outside, Miss Scoville went to Waupun and got materials for our various activities. Virginia, Annette, Evelyn, Pearl, Hedwig, Gladys and Miss Scoville made belts of wooden blocks. Skippers were made of wood for beach wear by Rosemary Hallie, Betty, Mary Jane, and Emogene. Pearl, Evelyn, Virginia Rosemay, Alice, and Emogene male pictures by woodburning with an electric pen. Hallie, Mary Jane and Gladys made metal tapping pictures with an electric tapper. Hedwig, Arlene, Ruth, Pearl, Virginia, Annette and others did some form of fancy work. This wa3 usually embroidery or tatting. These are only a few of the many activities carried on. We had this activity period in the afternoon from 3:30 to 4:00. It occurs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This period is of great value to the pupils. We learned how to do many different kinds of things and to better ourselves in activities which we already knew how to do. We plan to enter as many different projects in the fair as we can. Our goal is to make our booth much better than it was last year. During the summer the projects which are to be ta .en to the fair are kept at school and in the fall a group of children with one of our teachers goes to the fair to arrange our booth. ---Virginia Serwe ---Pearl Reklau
