5th and 6th Grades We have twenty-three pupils in our room this year. John Shie entered our grade in November from the Rocky Run Rural School. These are our 6th graders: Bill Heilman, Patricia Calloway, Inez Cox, Ruth Domke, Duane Granger, Norman Heintz, Ruth Fick, and Jimmy Valesh. Fifth graders: Helen Backus, Gary Bever, Karen Bever, Evelyn Calloway, Kjyrl Kruse, Jimmy Meacham, Margaret Miller, Earl Pasch, John Schroeder, Karen Schroeder, Marjorie Tillman, Sylvia Wadephul, Carolyn Zellmer, John Shie. In November we gave a play “The First Thanksgiving.’ We had the third and fourth and the seventh and eighth grades as our guests. We enjoyed our Christmas tree and party. It was fun exchanging gifts. Santa Claus was good to everyone. Our school society meets once a month. We call ourselves The Beavers. We have our business meeting, a short program and refreshments each time. The officers for the first half of the year were: President-Marjorie Tillman, Secretary-Duane Granger, Treasurer-Norman Heintz. January 29th, we had a tea for our parents and they visited our class. February was a bad month for us because we had so many absent with influenza. We are looking forward to attending the music festival to be held in Tomah in March. We will not only hear but also see Professor Gordon. We listen to his program every Wednesday. This year we have taken a great deal of interest in our Conservation Corner. Each child made something from Ranger Mac’s Program. We are sending our log with all our best work to Madison to the School of the Air Program. From now on we will be busy making something for the fair exhibit. Each child plans on earning a little extra cash. Maybe we will see you at the fair and show you our exhibit. 7th and 8th Grades Thirty-one students entered our room in September under Miss Linehan’s supervision. Of this group, eleven were charter members, entering first grade in 1943. Many of the original class have left Wilton and others have joined our ranks. Our 7th and 8th graders are: Roger Pasch, Richard Harrison, Orvis Schindler, Caroline Steinhoff, Joyce Fick, Eileen Lydon, Elaine Meseberg, Gary Peth, Joyce Lawrance, Karen Valesh, Nancy Meacham, Tom Wiseman, Harlan Creviston, Chuck Zellmer, Merlyn Eckelberg, Juletta Martalock, Standing: Nancy Hall. Jerelyn Zellmer, Rosalie Lawrance, Shirley Miller, Audrey Winchell, Larry Peth, Marvin Pasch, Gene Wood, Richard Heinz, Carl Cox, Albie Gess, Jack Rice, Kenneth Wilson, and Bob Sullivan. Fall was a busy season; setting to work after a long summer vacation was rather difficult. Physical Education added pleasure in a series of contest ball games; in each of the series of three contests, the losing team treated. Each day we felt thirty minutes far too short a period. Kittenball gave way to volleyball and again losers treated at the end of a series. The eighth grade boys enjoyed football and often were not part of the class groups. Visiting teams gave us an opportunity to be onlookers; we feel we had a pleasant activity in our ball games. Our room activities opened with inviting Mrs. Roder’s group to an American Education Program, which stressed the blessings of liberty in a democracy. Three original plays selected by the class as best written and most entertaining were presented. Book Week followed close with characterization of favorite books. Halloween is a good time to have fun, and we decorated the barracks for our party. Games, stunts, and refreshments made the time pass too rapidly. (Continued on Page 41) 27

Other experiences we enjoyed were trips to the Post Office and printing office to see how our community helps us. On December 13th we invited our mothers to visit our room. We had twelve visitors from recess until noon and for lunch with us at the cafeteria. During the first half of the year there were eight pupils who were present every day.
