HZf THE 1940 TROJAN HOCKINGPORT NEWS An interesting Thanksgiving program was given by the Hockingport children, consisting of two plays, individual recitations, and songs. Approximately 25 parents and friends gathered for the entertainment in the afternoon. On Friday evening. December 22. the school, in junction with the church, presented a program at the Methodist Church, in Hockingport. The Hockingport School opened the school year with an attendance of 50. During the term Jean and Jeanette Baylous. and Violet Caplinger withdrew from the lower grades. Junior and Charles Whited. Charles McCune. Earnest Stanton, and Richard Boyce entered, making the total enrollment 52. At the beginning of the term the school was confronted with the problem of having two large American flags, but no flag pole. So the boys got busy. Equipped with scout axes and a saw, they went to the woods. They cut their tree, and trimmed it, but alas! they couldn't bring it with them. However, one day during class period. Mr. Efaw. and Mr. Bunner. with the aid of a team of horses, quietly placed the pole on the school ground. It was then a matter of only a short time until a flag was seen waving atop a tall pole by the Hockingport school building. ★ After an extended study of early colonial life, the fourth grade built a log cabin with thatched roof, which looks very comfortable and really quite inhabitable. A reading chart with a record of each child’s outside reading was kept in the upper grades. The record was in the form of two or three sentence reports. At the end of the term. Kenneth Sanders was considered the champion reader, having the greatest number of book reports. ♦ During the year the first grade people have made and taken home two writing booklets. The first one consisted of manuscript writing, and the second one of script. The lower grades also completed a large poster, illustrating the dress and customs of Children of Other Lands. Small people almost surpass adults at times in finding methods of helping each other in the learning process. For example, they produce sounds, find syllables, or little words, in large words. But. right or wrong, one tot at Hockingport has her own original idea of helping. To illustrate: her classmate was worrying over the word race. So. in her attempt to help, the tot left her chair in the reading circle, went to the blackboard, picked up an eraser and asked. What do we do with this? Donna Sanders and Austin Hall have been on the honor roll continuously during the year. PAGE TWENTY-THREE
