Our grade sold the most tickets to the March of Dimes basketball game so we elected Lois Pritchard Queen for the game. We bought a bird record with our prize for having the most parents at P.T.A. On our assembly program in March we had a ‘Safety Play and a play, Magic Shoes”. Five girls played piano solos, Lois Pritchard played a cornet solo, Judy Buchholz a French Horn, Elton Harris a trumpet, and Patty Allen played an accordion. There are 24 pupils in the Fourth Grade. James Ball came to us from Wellsville in February and Clifford Good moved to Jasper March 1st. Our most interesting project of the year was a white rat experiment in nutrition. We had four white rats, kept in two cages. The two in one cage were fed a good diet; those in the other cage were fed a poor diet. The class was greatly interested in watching the effects of the different diets on these animals and seeing how nutrition affects health. Our Assembly program was a health play. This was given in February. Front Row, L. to R.: A. Pfeiffer, S. Lewis, J. Graitier, C. Good, R. Allen, A. Perkins, S. Schrader, K. Kear. Second Row: F. Nesbit, L. Hallett, A. Herrick, L.
