HCCNNGPCRT jTCHCCL NIEWjf The Hockingport Grade School opened in September with a good enrollment. The school year has been spent in regular school work and programs of various kinds. Interesting projects were developed by the classes in connection with the regular class work. In keeping with the patriotic spirit of the time, the community donated and erected a new flag pole for the school building. Several students were on the honor roll continuously during the school year. The students are: First grade. Paul Blake, Howard McCune, Mark Wheaton: third grade, Clifford Kimes: sixth grade. Donna Sanders: seventh grade, Dorothy White. During the months of February and March, whooping cough and measles made the attendance of many students very irregular, but school was in session as usual for those not ill. Miss Glenna Flanders was the teacher of the upper grades, and Miss Myrle King, of the lower grades. PAGE TWENTY

irCIRCIH JTCH€€L NEWS Torch School opened in September with its required number of pupils. Several new students arc enrolled. Mr. Barrows, the caretaker, has improved the appearance of our school grounds by making a side walk around the building. We were very fortunate in having a school kitchen to supply all of us with a warm lunch. Mrs. Elizabeth Hammer, our cook, was very efficient, as well as being most helpful and cooperative in all of the school's undertakings. Some of the older children assisted her in serving. To pay for his lunch, each child paid a small sum of money or brought fruit or vegetables from home. The Parent Teachers' Community Club has been active during the school year. The following officers were elected at a special meeting: Prsidcnt. Mrs. Pleda Malone: Vice president, Mrs. R. J. Runion. Secretary. Mrs. Elizabeth Hammer: Treasurer. Mr. Bernard Brewster. Early in the year the club purchased a stove for use in the kitchen. The Halloween party sponsored by the P. T. C. was largely attended. There was a Christmas meeting with refreshments and a program. Miss Marjorie Malone's tap dancing class performed splendidly at two of the meetings. Plans arc now being made for a chicken supper. At Christmas time Mrs. Malone was hired to teach the first and second grades at Coolvillc. Miss Bingman took the lower grades and Mrs. Virginia Reuter. Athens, was hired for the upper grades. Both rooms worked together to put on a play. Investing for Uncle Sam. for the February meeting of the P. T. C. Some of the children are now saving their pennies so that they may do their part by buying defense stamps. After Christmas the upper room girls sewed, and the boys worked on wood work. Many useful articles were made. We appreciate very much the flag and flag pole which Mr. R. J. Runion was responsible for putting up in our front yard. The flag was bought with contributions given by Torch residents. Seven children earned eversharp pencils for selling their quota of garden seeds and flowers. Our county health nurse. Miss Prock. has been faithful in coming to see us and in doing her part in keeping our school functioning well. The middle of March the county health department made it possible for each child to receive a half pint of milk at one cent a bottle. Three students will graduate from the eighth grade in May.
