Bazetta GYO Bazetta No. 3 Mrs. Claribel Young of Girard, teaches School at Bazetta, No. 3, which is a little one- room rural school being used for the last time. It has been used so long that part of the boards have rotted away, leaving the cold air into the room in the winter time. Next year Bazetta, No. 3, will be no more. The children will then attend the new school which is almost completed. The completion of the new building will mark the end of one-room schools in Trumbull County. Interest in keeping the playground in good con- dition is high and many are the good times that have been enjoyed on this playground. Merle Cook, Amelia Miscevich and Anna Misce- vich have not missed a day of school this year. The attendance for the entire school has been excellent. Several pupils have done excellent scholastic work this year. About the best scholar in the school is Marie Knapp. She always has her les- sons and aims to get one hundred in spelling every day. A The children have taken great pride and interest in the appearance of their school room. The girls embroidered Japanese curtains for the windows, giving the room a more cheery appearance, and the boys helped out by oiling the floor a couple of times. The walls have been decorated with col- ored posters made in the hygiene, geography and other classes. A flag hangs in the front of the room, teaching silently its lessons in patriotism and Americanism.

Baizetta C WEST BAZETTA ' 'lr C C C GVO The New Era Bazetta Township is in the center of Trumbull County. Like the other Town- ships, it is five miles square. However it is divided by the creek into two school sec- tions, Cortland, and Vfest Bazetta. The coming school year will mark a new era in West Bazettafs school history. Though Cortland has possessed a centralized school for many years, West Bazetta has continued the use of the District, or one room school. Now the' new building, where the districts will be consolidated, is well on its way to completion, and in the autumn of 1929 will be occupied. This April will witness the closing of the last District Schools in Trumbull County.

Bazetta 000 g Bazetta No.4 Wfe have enrolled thirty-seven pupils, nineteen girls and eighteen boys. This includes pupils in all grades, ranging from two in some grades up to eight in others. The boys and girls of the seventh and eighth grades organized a Civics Club, early in Septem- ber. The girls keep the building swept and dusted and the boys take care of the yard. We have five students taking music. Theda Miller and Margaret Miller, saxaphoneg Eugene Pykare, clarinet, George Polacsek, trombone, and Ailic Paajanen, violin. We have had programs for the various holi- days. These with out routine activities keep us very busy. We expect to graduate three from the eighth grade, Ailie Paajanen, Edward Durst and Eugene Pykare. Our percentage of attendance has ranked highly throughout the school year. When the flu epidemic overtook us our percentage for Decem- ber went down to 94.8. For January it came back to 98.4 per cent. Until December we had two grades with per- fect attendance the third and the eighth. In that month both pupils in the third grade missed one day. The eighth grade has had perfect at- tcndance to date. QMrs.j Shirley Gardner.
