than the entire worth of the
thirteen original states.

HIGH SCHOOL
I Once more we are nearing the
! end of a six-weeks period which
makes us realize how swiftly the
weeks are passing.
All studies are still going “full
| speed ahead,” of course. The
United States History Class has
just finished studying the Civil
War period and have found it very
interesting. This phase of History
seems to give us a deeper appre
ciation of liberty.
The English III class has fin
ished with Literature and is study
ing grammar.
Baseball is still the popular
sport around gym these days and
the girls think that the boys can
use a little practice!
FIRST AND SECOND GRADES
We’ve been enjoying the bright
sunshiny days lately, even ha^e to
pull the shades to keep out the
glare. Most of us have dark glasses
to wear outside.
The past week we’ve had almost
perfect attendance.
Robert Dunbar has the most
stars for 100% in a week’s spell
ing.
The second grade have been
happy to begin a new reader for
which we have a workbook.
We have all had our physical
examinations now. All seem to be
in quite good physical condition,
although there were too many de
cayed teeth.
THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES
Everyone had a good time at
the the Valentine party. Karen’s
mother and Miss Stokan helped to
serve the lunch, and we thank
them. There were many surprises [
brought by various children.
The third grade is learning to
subtract large numbers. The whole
class has new reading books,
“Wide Wings.”
FIFTH GRADE
We are studying the four states
in the West Central group. They
are Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,1
and Louisiana. There are such
varieties of products grown and
produced from this section. Texas
boasts that it has every kind of
climate found in the United
States. The main products of these |
states are: cotton, petroleum, rice,!
sugar beets, pelts, live stock,
grains, cotton seed products, baux-!
ite, lumber, furs from raccoons,'
opossums, minks, skunks, wild
cats, foxes, and wolves. Wolves
come from Louisiana, which state
produces more pelts each year
than all of Canada.
In Art Class we made some
George Washington shields, color
ed in red, white, and blue; with
George Washington’s silhouette on
them.
Friday we will have a program
celebrating Washington’s birth
day.
There are about five hundred
basic materials used in the manu
facture of inks today, including
oils, resins, color pigments, white
pigments, waxes, dyes, and vari
ous acids and other chemicals.
