SCHOOL NOTES I
SIXTH AND SEVENTH GRADES
For Hallowe’en we made a bor- |
der of cutouts, which were silhou- ;
ettes of black witches, black cats,
and orange pumpkins. These were (
arranged in a uniform design on |
our wall border.
For recreational reading we;
have had some dog stories about a
wonderful collie named Laddy by
Albert Peyson Terhune. In science
we have finished a section on
“Sound” and “The Sky Above”,
both of which were interesting.
We have 37 pupils in our room
now.
SEVENTH & EIGHTH GRADES
In art, we are working on all
over designs.
The seventh grade geography
pupils have finished studying
about Japan and enjoyed using the
workbooks that go with the text.
The eighth grade enjoys their
science text and find the informa
tion practical.
We are ordering some new li
brary books for our room.
Betty Bourdon has returned to
school after her recent illness.
On Tuesday, Nov. 2, we held a
Presidential election in our room
! and Truman won.
HIGH SCHOOL
Bats, owls, and witches scattered
about the assembly hall together
with twisted orange and black
streamers gave a Hallowe'en touch
to the high school par y held last
Friday. Two of the free-hand art
ists, Johnny Willet and Clarence
Willoya, placed a colored chalk
picture on the blackboard. Wild
cats, pumpkins, grain shocks and
witches w'ere all reminders of the
occasion. Many came dressed in
various cos.umes* such as the In
dian maidens, a Gypsy girl, a
witch, a ghost and the sailor tx>ys.
Ice cream, delicious cup cakes, ap
ples and popcorn balls were a wel
comed treat at the close of the
party. ,
