4 - THE 1940 TROJAN 4 TROV GRADE NEWS The first and second grade pupils at Troy had an enrollment of fifty pupils at the end of the first semester. There has been good attendance. The following pupils have not been absent nor tardy for the first semester: Wanda Crawford, John Humphrey, Jr., Donald Russell, Margaret Kennedy, Ronald Chapman, Mary Lois Dixon, George English. Billy Yeater. The first and second grade pupils have cooperated with the other grades in programs for Farmers' Institute and Christmas. The third and fourth grades of the Coolville School began their second school year under the supervision of Miss Roberta Humphrey with an enrollment of 20 in the third grade and 16 in the fourth grade. During the school year three pupils have found it necessary to attend other schools, while one new pupil has entered. Six pupils, Jack Baker. Clyde Riggleman, Russell Cole, Henry Barringer, Betty Sue Weekley, and Robert Reed were absent the day the annual picture was taken. Activities in our room this year have included an exhibit at Farmers’ Institute, consisting of Dutch posters, and Thanksgiving seat-work made by the children. At the present time third grade interest is centered on an Indian project in which the children are learning Indian songs, and making drums and peace-pipes, and planning to make an Indian village. Pupils from both grades took part in the Farmers' Institute and Christmas programs. We are very proud of Bacil Hornsby, a third grade pupil, who plays the accordion for the various entertainments. The total enrollment in the fifth and sixth grades during this year has been fifty-three. There has been an Honor Roll of A and B students at the end of each six-week’s grade period. As in previous years, the boys and girls of the group took part in the presentation of a Christmas program. A violin, piano, or tonette lesson is given each week to seven boys and eight girls. Vocal music is taught twice each week by our music instructor, Mrs. Cliffton. As usual the seventh and eighth grades devoted nearly all of their time to the regular school work. The departmental work was divided among the teachers as follows: Miss Conklin, science and geography: Mrs. Cliffton, music: Mr. Baker, physical education: Mr. Strickler, English, arithmetic, and history. The grades, assisted by the high school and directed by Mrs. Cliffton, presented a Christmas play, “The Spirit of Christmas.’’ Mr. Baker organized a boys' junior high basketball team which was quite successful in play. It had the added advantage of making regular school attendance more palatable to some of our boys. A new activity in music was the organization of a tonette band. Practice on these instruments will help pupils later to take up regular wind instruments in the orchestra. ’4 - -4 PAGE TWENTY SIX
