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. ..

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!

This has been our motto all term. We rank as one of the highest in attendance. Our room is one of the prettiest in the building.

From these two lines one can easily guess the aim of our new feilub. Each day more childreiume to join this jolly family. Our resolution passed for the new year-100 per cent. member- ship. , T 4-A3 We are some of the travelers. Every morning we go abroad at home. We like to look at the pictures of the gradu- ates on the fifth floor.

During the term we have had many dramatizations and story telling hours, also study and question periods. 3-B3 We are a lively class but we try to lyttle our spirits and save them alI for our work-We are doing it too. Our hard work for. fmod posture saves us from putting our Wishbone where our backbone ought to be. 3-A1 We work very hard. We do our best. Then when work is over we enjoy our- selves. We never let a holiday pass Without celebrating it. On Hallowe'en we had a Cat and Witch party. Now, that Christmas is coming, we are prac- ticing for a pretty little play. We have a regiment in our class and all but one or two are soldiers. We st it and march very straight. 3-A2 Good posture is very important. We think of it very often. Since we began our efforts in that direction, most of us have grown two inches taller. 3-A3 ' 'Twas the week before Christmas, When all through the sgahbol Every creature was stirring, even the fuel, The children were studying as hard - as they could, j gf In hopes that their Christmas 43,5 Play would be good.
