School News
HIGH SCHOOL*
Monday afternoon the high
school and seventh and eighth
grades enjoyed a talk given by
Walter Dowd on Japan Walter is
home on leave and all of his
friends were glad to see him again.
He told us many interesting things
about Japan and the Japanese
people and some of his interesting
experiences in the Orient.
GRADES ONE AND TWO
Two mothers have visited school
rceently. Mrs. Trigg and Mrs.
Whisenhunt. We are always glad
| to have visitors, especially moth
ers.
We have been enjoying the
, reading to us of the book “The
, Tree in the Trail”—a story by
Holling C. Holling of a tree in the
Old Santa Fe Trail.
The B class of first grade have
new reading and work books—
I “Day by Day” and “Adventures
j Day by Day.*'
Vernon Carlson has been absent
because of a cold.
GRADES THREE AND FOUR
The Holland project becomes
] more and more fascinating as the
| free-hand illustrations of life in
i that “toy” land grow irf content
! and color.
•
Karen’s mother visited the third
and fourth grade room on Wed
nesday. It is hoped that many
! mothers will visit during the next
ten days while the pictures of life
I in Holland are still on the board.
FIFTH GRADE
We are interested in our lan
guage class. We will learn to write
| correct letters to different boys
i and girls in various parts of the
| United States. We have letters to
answer from South Carolina,
j Utah, Oregon, California, Virginia,
j Nebraska and Ohio. They wish to
J know everything about Alaska.
We are telling them about such
things as oogruk, seal, ptarmigan.
t
crab fishing, mukluks, parkas,
kayaks, and oomiaks.
We were much interested to see
a colored mass up in the sky
Thursday, which someone called
“sun dogs ’’ Several round masses
of colored balls appeared near the
sun. They had all the rainbow col
ors.
SIXTH GRADE
We have completed our Elson
Gray Readers. Some of the stories j
we studied accompanied our his
tory lessons nicely as: Achilles, I
Leader of the Greeks; The Wan
derings of Ulysses; Robin Hood
and His Merry Men. These stories |
of great heroes of long ago help
us to understand how people of
those times lived.
Our new Readers are “Let’s Go
Ahead” by Gates Ayer.
Our Geography travels have
taken us to all the States in the
United States, a trip to Alaska,
and our last hop took us to the
tropical Hawaiian Islands. Here
we found a big change in climate,
scenery and products.
Paraffin waxes, first made from
petroleum in 1868, now are being
produced at six times the prewar
rate as a result of increased de
mand for food packaging and wa
terproofing, especially for over
seas shipments.
