THE 1938 TROJAN TROT OR ADR HAPPEN IMOS The first and second grades at Coolville, taught by Laura Guilder, has an enrollment this year of 42 pupils, 26 in the first grade, and 16 in the second grade. The pupils participated with the other grade students in a Christmas program. which was put on by the music department. The pupils earned $5.00 by selling seeds. The money was used to buy each student an arithmetic work book. Our school was saddened by the death of Helen Murray, a first grade pupil. Helen was an “A” student and was loved by all. The third and fourth grades, taught by Leo Baker and Frances Runyon, had an enrollment of 21 in tne third grade and 33 in the fourth grade. The following pupils have a perfect attendance record to date: Bobby Hughes, Denzil Hetzer, Doris Jean Brafford, Juanita Chapman, Barbara Chapman, Eva Mae Clark, and Mary Baker. One of the most interesting studies of the Third Grade for this year was a study of the American Indian. The study began with a group of Indian stories in our reader. The children became so interested and asked so many questions that it was necessary to search our home and school libraries for more information-They divided the study into three groups: The Woodland, the Desert and the Plains Indians. The food, clothing, shelter, travel and habits of living of each groups were studied. The stories, pictures, and information were organized and put into book form. The children studied the colors and designs of the Indians. They decorated paper plates, made and decorated clay bowels. They also made book covers, bow and arrows, headdresses and the simple tools of the Indian. A collection was made of Indian relics, some of which had been found near Coolville. There was also a group of Indian made articles including a Navajo rug, small mats, tooled leather, and pottery. An exhibit of the Indian study was made at the Farmers’ Institute. The total enrollment in grades five and six for the school year 1937-’38 was l'orty-four and in the seventh and eighth, forty-nine. Departmental teaching was used to some extent. Miss Conklin taught geography and spelling; Mr. Baker taught science and arithmetic; Mr. Strickler taught English and history. For the first time a real effort was put forth in physical education. Mr. Baker did very commendable work in that field. • • The Torch School opened in September with an enrollment of twenty children in the primary grades. Miss Esther Bailey taught the primary room. For nearly a month they had a perfect attendance record. Four more children soon entered, making a total enrollment of twenty-four. The outstanding activity of the year was the annual Christmas program produced by the children of all grades. The children entered the activity with eagerness and enthusiasm. A large group of parents and interested friends were present to see the finished product. The advanced grades, taught by Roberta Humphrey, began the school year with an enrollment of nineteen. One family moved away, taking three pupils from this room, cutting the enrollment to sixteen. There are five pupils in the eighth grade who will be ready for promotion to high school in the spring. They are: Densil Butcher, Janice Dunfee, Max Gray, Thelma Russell, and Pearl Scott. Max Gray was absent when the group picture was taken. ♦ Hockingport is a village located on the bank of the Ohio River. There are two historical scenes commemorated here. A plaque tells of Washington and his soldiers camping over night here. At another point is a monument in memory of Fort Gower, located here during the Civil War. The village is to be complimented on having a well equipped, two room school, accommodating eight grades. The primary room is down stairs and taught by Lucille Davis. The total enrollment is thirty-two with eight pupils in the first grade, eleven in the second, five in the third, and eight in the fourth. Twenty-two pupils are enrolled in the upper grades, taught by Nile Barnett. The eighth grade has four scholars striving toward Troy High school. They are: Bernard Blake, William Kelley, Arthur Ice and Clifford Snider. The school is an old institution in Hockingport. The people are fortunate to have kept it during this time when centralization is so extensive. May they keep on through many more years. PAGE 24
