HIGH SCHOOL STAFF School Editor— —Lois Lageveen Business Manager Carolyn Bass Faculty Sponsor —Mrs. Erny CLASS REPORTERS Mary Jane White Shirley Hart Frieda Cheever Margaret Schoonveld EIGHTH GRADE Norman Chappell Beatrice Punter SEVENTH GRADE Donald Fieldhouse Ruth Carter Robert Moolenaar Evelyn DeYoung JUNIOR PLAY The juniors are now resting in peace. Their calss play was given Friday night to a large and appreciative audience. The play was interesting, amusing, and well given. We wish to congratulate the juniors, their sponsor and directors on a fine performance. RED CROSS DRIVE Along with the rest of the community, the students in our school are contributing generously to the Red Cross. Each class is collecting donations from its students and some classes are drawing money from their class funds in addition. The eighth grade is leading with nearly twelve dollars.

ORATORICAL CONTEST On Thursday morning of this week, an oratorical contest will be held before the assembly. Representatives from each literature class will give orations. The three divisions are humorous, dramatic, and serious. Four of each division will give their orations at the PTA meeting Tuesday night and one of each group will be awarded a medal at that time. PLANS CHANGED Because of difficulties in getting transportation to Monticello, the band will not go to the contest there as before planned. REV. DEMOTTS TALKS Last Thursday morning Reverend DeMotts from the Christian Reformed Church spoke to the assembly. His subject was the value of time. He impressed upon us the fact that time is valuable; it can not be relived and we should therefore use our time constructively, and make the most of every opportunity. READING CERTIFICATES Students are preparing lists of books they have read during the school year. Reading certificates will be granted to each pupil who has read at least one book a month with special honors for those reading many more. NEWS NOTES The annuals will arrive April 17. The Seniors’ pictures are expected to arrive this Thursday. Baccalaureate is to be held on April 16, and Commencement on April 21. FIRST GRADE Glen Woudema, James Fritts, Thelma Kaluf, Margie Nannenga, Charles Hamstra, and Doris Van Meerten have read eight or more Library books. We have finished reading “Our Good Health” Book 1. We liked this book. We are planning a party for children who will start school next September. SECOND GRADE We are very happy to have Modeane Willis back with us again. She has been in California. Mrs. Hart weighed us and measured us this week to see how much we have grown this year. The children in our room and their teacher will be glad to have our mothers visit our room next Tuesday evening at PTA meeting. We have six new books in our room today and we are all reading them. We bought them with some of our Operetta money and seed money.

THIRD GRADE Four of us have had birthdays this past month. They were Marilyn, Virginia, Robert, and Leonard. Joan Shuey and Thurlow Wright have moved back after being away for sometime. Robert Selby has moved and will attend Kniman school. . Those of us who have nad the measles are back. PHRASES MOST OFTEN HEARD Latin Class—“ What does that word mean?” Girls in General—“ But I didn’t go with him!” Delia—You know, I mean.” Illiterates—“ Y ouse.” Shorty—“Hi Babe!” Mr. Stephens—“ Let‘s get quiet.” Boys in General —“How was she?” “WOW.” Freida Mae—“ Did someone say Rabbit?” Joan Deßruin was invitde out to supper Sunday night. We wonder where it was.
