I THIRD GRADE The first outstanding event we recall is Halloween, at which time several of our people won prizes in the parade on the play- ground. That was followed by a party in the room. At Christmas time we were very busy decorating the room, and making gifts for our mothers and fathers. Then we had an enter- tainment for our mothers. Valentine's Day was a very happy time, for our Valentine Box was overflowing with cards for everyone. We also made heart sachets for gifts. This Spring, our most interesting project, based on Nature Study, was a wild flower garden. After taking a walk to look for flowers, we planted as many as we could find in the sand-box. There was also a scare-crow, and a pond with a turtle. Pretty booklets were made with poems about flowers and birds, and we made many drawings. When the flowers were gone, our small plot of earth was trans- formed into a miniature farm, with farm buildings and animals. Where the flowers had been, we planted heat, oats, and corn. This unit is a part of a study of community life. Because we've been very busy, working hard and having fun along with our reading, writing, and arithmetic, third grade has passed very quickly. WFOURTH GRADEU As we come to the close of another year And look back on the work that we've done, Let's unfold the months that have just slipped by And examine them one by one. Our American Indians were first on the list, The first people of this great Nation. Of all our display, the thing we liked best Was Princess Bluefeather, without Ureservation.W A Hallowe'en parade was the next big affair, Then Thanksgiving with all of its cheer. Our dances at Christmas were simply superb, The biggest event of the year! The first booklets we nada with pictures and all Were about Eskimos, whales and such, Then next we made booklets about Netherlands Illustrating the life of the Dutch. We had units on Safety, Good Manners, and Health- Studied Romans, Phoenicians and Greeks. There were Bond Drives and Scrap Drives and than the P.T.'s, Which kept us quite busy for weeks. So, in order to round out another school term, A Circus and picnic we've planned. And last but not least, our May Day Feta With all of it's joys so grand! Our beach head's established, we've reached our goal We're now fifth graders at last! Whatever the future may hold for us We'll never forget the past. J

FIFTH GRADE When we entered fifth grade this year, we had nmny questions in our minds as to what awaited us. Now, as the year ends, we've had our questions answered. We've learned new and interesting things and have had fun with it all. Early this year we studied Colonial Life. We built a floor model of a colonial town, making the buildings and animals our- selves. We even had stagecoaches and,covered wagons. We started a colonial museum and were amazed at the unusual, old relics collected. Concluding our study, we gave a program for our parents. We wore old-fashioned dresses and overalls and danced the Virginia Reel. Later this year we made papier mache masks which everyone enjoyed seeing. Bright paint and shellac helped give some un- usual effects. Finally we made puppets and gave puppet shows. We made our own puppets and had many laughs watching the boys learning to sew. Then we made a theater and gave plays to the other grades. Now the year is over, we feel that we can look back upon it with satisfaction. We've learned to cooperate with each other and appreciate the good times that naturally grow out of real cooper- ation. We think we will be better sixth graders if we try even harder next year. . SIXTH GRADE Sixth Grade is going to be different, we thought as we put away our Fifth Grade books. It has been different and busy. Now we're used to changing classes, eating lunch a half hour later, carrying all our books with us, no recess, belonging to the Senior Glee Club, and we're proud to have members on the soccer, basketball and baseball teams. We said we were busy and here is what kept us that way: we had parties for the holidays, contests in art, we made booklets for geography, our unit on description in English closed with a hobby show, we helped with all the drives - milk weed pods, clothing, Junior Red Cross, we marched in the March of Dimes, and collected paper and more paper. Our most important drive was a contest conducted by Mrs. Miller to improve our personal health habits. She awarded certif- icates for satisfactory records. We want all the class to visit the dentist this school year and we have nearly reached our goal. It's been fun. We even learned to like going to the dentist! Then besides shiny teeth we wanted shiny shoes, so the boys set up a shoe-shine stand. - Looking back and then forward, the best thing about all this is that it gets better every year. So we're looking forward to being seventh graders--and better Americans! Betty Widen Margaret Holman KClass Representatives!
