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!
