Our grade began this year with 27 pupils. We were glad to welcome Jean Smith from Rhode Island, Martha Fuller from Wellsville and Carol and Kit Carson from Genesee, Pa. 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.

Each Monday and Wednesday morning Mrs. Cornell greets us Good morning boys and girls.1' It has been so much fun drawing, coloring and painting with water colors. Last September there were thirty-eight of us. Five were little Negro boys. They went back down south after the potatoes were picked up. The enrollment of our room has been steady, except for the eight days attended by migrant workers' children. This experience seems to have been enjoyable to the class and we think that they enjoyed our school also. Our boys are very fine builders, two are future basketball material, several are capable artists and others are good singers and story tellers. The nine girls like to keep house, teach classes, sing and do art work. First Row, L. to R.: D. Lewis, J. M. Kear, D. Voalden, M. Cramer, M. L. Allen, J. Amidon, D. Allen. Second Row: P. Johnson, A.
