Jackie Willard and James Hoffheins were new pupils. Our first party was on Hallowe'en. Most of us wore cos- tumes and as usual paraded through the grade rooms and the study hall. Then we ate popcorn, candy, apples, and cookies. On December twentieth, we had a party and gift exchange. That evening we took part in the Christmas program. Our room presented the play nThe Crescent Clubn. Each of us had a part in it. In January Chloe Roderick moved to Dunbridge. We were glad to welcome Willis Bockbrader from Perrysburg in late January. During February we made valentines for the Wood County Childrens' Home. Again this year during February we read about Lincoln, St. Valentine, Washington, and Robert E. Lee. On the fourteenth we had a valentine exchange. In March Richard Magsig entered the fifth grade. He came here from Rollersville, Ohio. On March 28, we gave an operetta UThe Magic Piper.n Our room made posters to advertise the operetta. For the most part we have done free hand drawing in art . classes. Many of us have-improved in prospective and choice of color. Each month we have had books from the Bowling Green library. We enjoyed reading them very much. We have kept a record of our progress in spelling on a chart Each semester the ones with the most stars received prizes. This year we have tried to learn to adapt ourselves to every situation, to dominate them rather than to allow them to dominate us. We believe that success for each individual is the highest development of which he is capable. ' 941
