THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL CLASSES V m . ADVANCEMENT AND LEARNING CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY YEARS They range in size from the small Grade l’s to the larger boys in Grade 8 class. Their marks range from 100’s down to 20’s. Only one things holds them together: they belong to the Grammar School Division of Vancouver College. For those in Grade 1, this year has been one of wonder and new experiences. They were lonely and frightened at the start of the year but now they are acting like old hands at this job of school. They are beginning to learn to read and to print. The Grade 2’s continue a more advanced version of Grade 1 with simple arithmetic being taught for the first time. In Grade 3 writing is introduced while reading and arithmetic become slightly harder. In Grade 4 and 5 the simple subjects become harder until in Grade 6 general science and social studies appeared for the first time. These subjects were new and different from what they had been taught previously and a little harder. Grades 7 and 8 were further studies of the same subjects. Now it wasn’t 2 -j- 2 = 4, it was 12 X 12 = 144. The sub- jects seemed hard for everyone from Grade 1 to Grade 8. The holidays were looked for with eagerness by all the Grammar students. Their physical and personality growth were not overlooked. Knights of Columbus baseball, soccer and basketball were affected. For those younger, Biddy Basketball was available, as was tumbl ing and boxing. It has been a very full and ex- tremely busy year for our Grammar School miniature scholars.
