rn Second and Third Grades - Miss Landers , Last fall thirty-three girls and boys cntered their room for anotheriyear of work and play. Thirteen were in the second grade, and twenty were in the third grade. Patty Eckel- barger, Rolland Stieben, Dennis Lobdell, and Marilyn Grames left us to go to other schools. Their room joined the junior Cross this year. They also contributed to the lnfantile Paralysis Campaign fund and the Crippled Children Fund at Easter time. They worked out several projects this year which have given them much information and pleasure. They worked Out projects on Indian and Eskimo life, also on travel and transportation. They have made several booklets this year, one on the life of Lincoln and Washington-5 one on Indian and Eskimo lifeg and some spelling booklets. Each one designed the covers for his book. Thev have had manv contests this vear in spelling, arithmetic, and reading. They have had a few parties, one at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter. As the year came to a close, it left them with many pleasant memories for the years to come. First and Second Grades - Miss Lag i At the beginning of the school year there were nineteen in the first grade and eighteen in the second grade. ln March, Norma Stieben moved to Neapolis. The following children were on the honor roll every six weeks period: Mary Coale, Velda Wade, Dick Sprague, and joseph Kaiser. During the school year their attention was centered on character education, or on the idea of becoming better citizens. They tried to carry out this idea in all of their work and play. With this in mind they had a choral verse speaking choir. Poems to build character were selected. Choral speaking also helped those with speech impediments. However, the children were not aware of these needs and participated for enjoyment only. No one was forced to learn the poetry, but nearly all of the children were able to say forty poems, the Pledge of Allegiance, the Lord's Prayer, and other prayers. Thinking of others, they joined the lunior Red Cross, and contributed to the infantile Paralysis Campaign fund. They also helped to sell Christmas and Easter seals. At Christ- mas time they made gifts for their mothers. The children were interested in a unit on pets and their respective habits. Especially they stressed being kind to animals. In the spring they enjoyed a unit on Nature. Their art activities included such things as finger painting, spatter painting, pictorial art, free hand crayon and cut paper designs, and clay modeling. -34.-

Leimgruber, Euler, Sherman, Sheeks, Yates, I. Burditt, B. Smith. The success of the Tontogany Indians last fall as compared with their record of games played and and Smith, boys were In the the twentv- years. lost this winter varies greatly. It seems that the loss of two star players, Fox was responsible for this. As Seniors were not allowed to play this year, these excluded from the team. tournament last year, playing against Walbridge, Fox struck out twenty-one of three batters. Smith was known as the sparkpluz of the team for the last two Burditt, taking his new position on the mound this year, will be a great help to the Indians. Bob Mathenv has taken over the duties of Smith as short-stop, and Keith Yates has acquired the position as catcher. Gundy is one of the fastest tielders in high school baseball, while Shanks seldom lets any grounder get by for Gundy to get. Ballard and Walters should be quite well known for their hitting next year. If the Indians play next year as they are capable of playing, they should be at the top in the county tournament.
