More pictures!i On Monday Mr. I An spaugh was! again at MBS] taking group! pictures. The] varsity basket-1 ban team, in] their “neat” | sew uniforms, I the second team,! and the cheer-1

leaders all had their pictures taken. Also included were some of the classes such as speech and physics. The band pictures were not taken Monday, but will be taken when the new uniforms arrive. —M.H.S.— “What is it?" asked the first graders, “A kitten? Santa Claus? A mouse?" I know” said Steve Holt. "It’s a white rat !” Steve was right. The square box displayed to the students contained a pet white rat named “Elmer." "Elmer” was put through all his maneuvers by Bob Andrews and Ray McDougal and was quite a delight to the first grade children. He was also a delight to many high school boys and a menace??! to the girls. It is doubtful that “Elmer” or his owners received much of an education on the day of his appearance, but he did provide a change from the regular school routine. Now everything is back to normad, but there are still smiles when someone mentions the name “Elmer”. —M.H.S.— Mrs. Tera Harris and her second graders report that they are glad for the new bookcase which was made for them by the shop boys. The old bookcase, as one of the students said, was about ready to "collapse.” Such equipment is very essential to a classroom, for second graders have many books

Their next game is scheduled for tonight immediately after school with De catur Catholic, there. —P.M.H.S.— Christmas is nearly here and almost every class has exchanged names. The name drawn is supposed to be kept a deep, deep secret, but at the end of the day nearly everyone knew the name that his friends had drawn. The drivers training classes are all thrilled and excited about their new car that arrived recently. The car is a blue and white 1957 Ford from the Schwartz Ford garage in Decatur.
