However, lively as we are in activities, we are just the same in Workg each one always tries his best to do his bit in class work and spirit to make 3A 4 as perfect as any 3A can be. 1 3-A5 Une year ago most of us were little 1B children, busy learning sounds and phonics also busy mastering number facts. We have also learned to read well. Look at us today, we are 3A's and in one month will be ready for 3B. We are still working, but no one seems to mind as it pays to work hard. ' 2-B1 X , . Small though these children are, they are capablelof doing their work thoroughly. They work cheerily at a task until its through, and then are ready to begin anew. ' 2-B2 We are making some lovely ham- mocks in this class. The meshes are so even I'm sure our dolls will enjoy their nap in them. 2-B3 Our room looks bright with holly and mistletoe and poinsettia. A We have brought pretty tre na- ments Do ou think Santa Cl, twill . ' Y - bring us a tree: 2-A1 If you want to dance in style you must wear gauntlet gloves as they do in 2A l.. 2-A2 Among the new words in our read- ing lesson one day, the word jungle appeared. As defined by a ZA young- 'ster it means a little house at City Isl . ' ough we do fall down once in a while on definitions, we have been smart enough to have 100 per cent. average in spelling for two succeeding weeks. .. E 2-A3 Oy Ofcourse we're looking forward to 1-B1 ' Pupil- Here's a 'gold star, that I bought all pasted on paperfm Teacher- What's that foii ? Pupil- To give to us when we sit up tall.

One little lad did not seem to be doing very wellflso I gave him a copy of the word and asked him to practice writmg it at home. The next ' day he came 'up to the desk and Whis- pered, Please excuse me, I forgot to' T5 do 'Tom Mix' last night. - . - I , 1 9 1-A2 'i We were talking of being kind to those who had no one, and how unfor- tunate it was for a child to be without parents, sisters, brothers, etc. When one little boy raised his hand and an-. . nounced Inglis., Yes, but he could have a little dog. Q 1-A3 'Mr. Westphal told the children the story of how when he was a boy going to school he always wrote with his left hand. His mother wishing this habit corrected told his teacher to crack his knuckles each time he wrote with the wrong hand. The following day, one of our little Q chaps, who has the same habit was e' asked if he would like the same treat- ' ment. He said yes, then I'll be a :. 1' ,. principal too some day. , 1-A4 ' Who said the spirit of Raleigh has passed out forever? Oh no!
