W1MIING YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR

CAMPFIRE GIRLS HAVE CHRISTMAS PARTY The Campfire girls of Garfield school were invited to the home of their guardian, Miss Ruth Hieger, Wednesday, Dec. 29, 1920, for a Christmas party. The first thing on the program was a peanut hunt. The moat peanuts were found by Janice Smith and the prize was a Kewpie doll. The next thing was making different animals out of peanuts, raisins, and toothpicks. As everything was so cleverly made, no prizes were given. Rolling peanuts for a certain distance with the nose was next prevented. Esther Russeli received a toy bull dog for rolling hers the required distance in the shortest length of time. Next came eating a cracker and the object was to whistle as soon as possible. Janice Smith whistled first and received a stenciled linen handkerchief as a prize. The girls then danced. After that refreshments consisting of fruit gelatine and cakes were served. By the Campflre's Reporter. ROOM 6 OF BAXTER Thursday noon, Dec. 23, room 6 of Baxter school, Mrs. Shallenberg's room, held a sale of things they had made during the term and especially for the sale. The sale was held from 1 o'clock till 1:15 and! during that time the Baxter school orchestra played several selections. ToyB, In the shape of gay wooden animals, and woven raffia and jute bags, and candy, which had been made in the school kitchen, and woven doll caps were among the articles Bold. The young salesmen figured the cost, weighed the ingredients, and decided on the selling price for their goods. The sale was a decided success, and ahout seven dollars was realled for the room's treasury. J.H.S. BOYS HELP THE 7-A GIRLS WITH SCHOOL CANDY SALE The candy sale held by girls of the 7A art class of Garfield school, Wednesday noon, Dec. 22 at one o'clock netted a sum of $20.15 for the sellers. The money will probably be applied to a sum which the girls want to raise to buy a new picture for Garfield. The suggestion that a new picture was needed was originally made by the decoration committee of the Garfield school council. Miss Mawhood, teacher of the class assisted the girls. The candy was sold in each of the assembly rooms durfng the general exercise period. In this the boys, who sold it in the boys' assembly rooms helped very much, proving that they were good salesmen but of course it is rather easy to be good salesmen when relling goods so desirable as this candy. Almost all of it was homemade and had been donated by the girls. Two boys, Elmer Porter and George Toler assisted the girls very much with the sale, perhaps receiving therefore payment from time to time in the form of pieces' of candy, anyway they proved themselves very interested and useful during the sale, as well as before it. Elmer made several very tempting looking posters advertising the sale which were posted around the school building and George Toler donated 250 sacks for the candy and loaned the trays which held the candy. Eleanor Hart also made a poster. Three and a half pound beets. 17 Inches around, carrots 10 inches long, weighing one pound eachvegetables like these were raised by Elvert- Martinson, 12, of Minneapolis, during the past summer on a plot of ground only 20x20 feet.

RICHMOND,

Warner Boys and Girls Want

WE MUST BE EDUCATED i We have school to teach us. New things come on, and we must be educated. But we need better schools yet. The things wo need are, adjustable seats, belter ventilation, better lights, a larger playground, more apparatus, better buildings, cleaner rooms, more pay for the teachers and the worst of all, more room. In some schools of Richmond some of. the children only get to go to school half a day. We also need a new fire escape. The kind we need is like a sliding board. Indiana ranks seventeenth among the states of the United States in regard to schools. Marie Mackey, Warner school. WE SHOULD NOT MARK ON BUILDINGS To make a better school, we should have more rooms and more teachers. We should have better desks so the children can learn without being tired and enjoy studying. The children should come to school every day unless they are ill. We should take great pride in our schools and not mark on the buildings and keep It nice foi later years. Indiana schools rank seventeenth and we should like to have them rank first. Eleanor Martin, Warner, 6B. WANT TO RANK HIGHER We need better schools for we are so crowded that the children do not get to recite so often and we need individual help so much. The schools teaches us to be loyal to our country anda to our flag, teach The Turkey J That funny turkey thinks he's the boss, Because he licked up the cranberry sauce. It made him so fat he just wobbled, and when he saw me he just gobbled and gobbled. WTe filled the turkey first of all, He was so fat and tall. Mother made the pumpkin pie, She thought that It I didn't spy. Then the next day the company came, And Uncle Will, yes, he was lame. Aunt Alice said ,"How did you do it? I couldn't begin it!" And mother said, "I did it in a minute." I saw a turkey in the night, He was in an awful fight. Yes, it was old Fin, And I hoped that he would win. Eloise Cloud, age 10 years, Joseph Moore school, grade 4A. SCOUT MEETING POSTPONED Scouts of Troop 5 will meet the second Monday evening, Jan. 10 in January instead of the first, as was announced earlier. The change was made on account of the Pur-due-Earlham basketball game. "I started life a barefoot boy." "Well, I wasn't born with shoes on."

INDIANA, SATURDAY, JANUARY

es us pride in our schools, and all parents should visit the schools to encourage the teachers and their children to help have our public schools so they will rank first in Indiana instead of ranking seventeenth. Martha Wood, Warner school, grade 5B. ELEVEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS There are eleven public schools in Richmond, Ind. The public school I go to Is Warner. I am very proud of my school. But I would be prouder than ever if I could have my school fixed up a little. The Warner school is situated on a noisy corner. We need a larger playground, more rooms, and new seats. Then our school would be one of the best schools in Richmond, Ind. All the children that go to school should try to keep their own school clean. When they see a little piece of paper they should pick it up. The children ought to be willing to keep their room clean. If every child would do his part we would have a better school. Warner can not be fixed up In some ways and other ways it can be. Lucile Burleson, grade 6B Warner. WARNER IS 33 YEARS OLD The reason we need schools in the cities is because there are so many children that we have to have schools to teach them. A great many of the schools in Indiana need to be repaired again because they are so old. I think Warner needs many repairs. We should have a more quiet corner, and a larger playground. I think we The Happy Chickadee &u 1 30

Better Schools could have better desks for. the children. We have a very beautiful hall. Another thing is that the corners are very dangerous for the children. This building is very old, it i3 about 33 years .old. Hazel Harver, grade 5 A, Warner schooL WE ARE ON A "NOISY CORNER We need a new school building, and many things. We are located on such a noisy corner and such a small playground. Our school needs more seats and more rooms. The schools In Richmond needs more teachers; one room In Warner school has 56 children to one teacher. Helen Moody, grade 6A, Warner. I AM THANKFUL We should have fewer children in a room. I am thankful for the education I get from the public school. We should come every day. Indiana is seventeenth In rank, but it should be the first. The schools teach boys, woodwork, girls to cook, . to sew and many other things. The parents should visit the schools and get acquainted with the teachers. The children should take an interest in school anda learn all they can. So now and later when they are older, they can take care of themselves. Howard Wright, Warner, GB. We wish to mention with honor the following boys and girls of Warner who wrote compositions on this same subject: Grace E. Darnell, Gilbert Mc (This is all of the name given), and Elizabeth S.

"BRING A POTATO" AS SHOW ADMISSION PROVES SUCCESSFUL About 900 children attended tin feature matinee planned by Man ager Bell of the Washington thea-. tre at-9:30 o'clock Friday morning, Dec. 24, to which the -only admission charged was the presentatiol of a potato, an apple,, an orange, I glass of Jelly or something like that. The pucture shown was "Hall a Chance." . The result was doubly success ful, the children had a good time as all were well taken care of, and a great quantity of food was collect ed as admission which was turned over by the theatre management ta the Salvation Army to give to people who needed food. The follow ing amounts of .food taken in, show how little things can grow into great big quantities for there were taken In, 10 bushels potatoes, 5 bushels apples, 8 doten oranges, 60 cans of fruit, 40 glasses of jelly, as well as some squash, sweet potatoes, beans and onions. This same plan was tried in Indianapolis on Christmas day in two theatres with two shows in each, and the results of all four shows netted an amount equal to the amount secured here by one show. For Saturday morning, Jan. 1, a children's show was planned as this goes to press. The program included an Edgar Comedy and a Fatty Arbuckle production. NURSERY KIDDIES HAVE GALA TIME IN PARTY WEDNESDAY . Twenty-five kiddies of the Day Nursery and many of their mothers had a very happy time at the party given for them by the Day Nursery board at the North A Street Friends' Meeting House, Wednesday afternoon. Beginning the afternoon, every-, one present sang "America," then Charles Woodman told the Bible story of Christmas and the Christ child. After this Mrs. F. W. Krueger sang several children's songs, and then the children with Mrs. Fred Girty played games and had lots of fun. After that,, Santa Claus, soweone dressed up like him, anyway, we will leave you to guess who it was presented each child with a very nice present, usually a toy or several toys, and a box of animal crackers, a carnation and a lollypop doll, which was fun to play with until all their other candy was gone, and then the lollypop dolly vanished in haste after the animal crackers. After that, refreshments of ice cream, candy and little cakes were served. Besides the ones who helped to make the program a pleasing one we would like to mention the following people who helped to make the party a happy one for these children and juniors: Miss Martha Reeves who played the piano for the sangs, Mrs. Harry Dilks and Mrs. S. 01 Smith who were in charge of the planning of the party, Prices' who furnished you can guess, of course, the ice cream and Mr. T. H. Hill who happened to think that lollypops would make very nice dolls. CHILDREN HAVE A BAND AT HIBBERD Hibberd kindergarten has a band. Yes it is, a real band, and if you would hear it, you would say so too. Mrs. Weidener, the teacher is director and pianist and the children do the rest. The band is made up of three French harps, a drum, a triangle, a horn, a whistle and sleigh-bells. The victrola often plays with the band. Of course they do not do very much, but they strike the rhythm beats with their instruments especially with well known songs, as our patriotic songs, and has proved very enjoyable as well as worth while.
