Though summer lias not yet arrived, tiie children of the first grade are already trying their luck at fishing. They are fishing in a large lake located on the table at the front of the room. They have a short pole, a line, and a paper clip, substitute for a fishing hook. They have a cork on Ihe line too. Several cardboard fish, on which is written numbers and words, are placed in the lake and when a line is thrown to a fish the paper clip Is slipped over the body and the fish is drawn off of the table.

A GOAT VISITS JOSEPH MOORE

Louis Schwab, a big fifth grade boy, brought his goat to school. It was the kind of goat that does not have any horns. His teacher asked him if he wished to bring it into the school and he said that he did not care. She said he had to ask the principal of the school first. So he asked her and she said "yes" anik he brought the goat in the school and took it into his room which is in the basement. A boy named Russell White, who is in the sixth grade, went down to see it and said that the last thing he saw was that it was eating paper in the waste paper basket. Children Enjoy Playground On the boys' side of the play ground, which Is at the north end of the school, there is a baseball diamond for the 6 AB's and 5 A's. There is another one for the 4AB's and 5B's. There is ariother one for the 3 AB's and last of all one for the second grade. The first grade boys do not have any. They play i around and do other things that do j not need any special place. I have been telling you that there are fou baseball diamonds and so there could be four baseball games going on at a time. But some of"' the children are always doing other things. Besides baseball diamonds there are hoops that are only bicycle rims. The second grade has five of them and other grades have some too. Most of the children do not use a stick to push them with their hands. Besides the baseball diamonds and hoops there are some swings and a slide. There are about six swings. The fifth and sixth grades have basket balls and have the goals to shoot at. Kindergarten Make Table The kindergarten have made a little table of wood just the size for them to sit down t. That is (Continued on Page Four) WONDER FIVE WIN ANOTHER VICTORY The Wonder Five won a fast exhibition of basket ball from the Ail-Americans by the score of 31 to 7 on the Garfield floor Saturday afternoon, January 27. The game was fast and clean, only 6 or 7 fouls being called in the entire 40 minutes of play, but the Wonders were never headed after jumping into a good lead in the early minutes of play The Wonders got to an early lead in about five minutes after the first half had started, this lead kept increasing and the winners had 8 points before the All-Americans connected with the hoop. The score at half time was 14 for the Won ders and 6 for their opponents. The second half started off with a rush, the speedy and accurate passwork of the Wonders took the ball down the floor time after time for a short shot under the basket. The losers used numerous substitutions throughout the game in an attempt to stave off defeat, but they could not break away from the tight five man defense of the Wonders. There were no outstanding players for the winners, the team as a whole deserves credit for the game. Baldwin and Lacey were the only All-American players to score for their team. Ealwin put up a good floor game. The lineup and summary: Wonder Five All-Americans Pond F... Lacey Hoi tramp F Cartwright Clark C. Baldwin Vosler Cr D.

MARY'S SCHOOL 'Grades five and six are lamenting over the latest device to raise the spelling standard to one hundred percent. It was offically announced Monday morning that the school would have a hospital for poor spellers. Pupils missing more than two words have their names registered in the superintendent's office and are obliged to remain in the hospital for one week. Patients Given Fine Tonic Patients receiving one hundred percent for one week are dismissed temporarily. After two weeks they are discharged honorably. .A relapse means a double dose of the tonic. In most hospital.? the doctors all agree on rest, complete rest, but in this our hospital differs. Patients are obliged to write 20 sentences using the words misspelled and underling the word to impress the correct form. Hospital Well Equipped The new hospital is complete it every detail. It has a staff superintendent, head nurse and four assistants. Catherine Mitchell is the head nurse and her assistants are Lorene Cronix, Helen Shutz, Catherine Toohey and Anna Mae Collins. Out of a class of 52, nine patients have been enrolled. This clearly proves that the standarad of one hundred percent will soon be reached. Patients remaining in the hospital over one week will have names published in the Junior papers! Reported by Richard McCann, St. Mary's school. GARFIELD CHAPEL The first chapel program this term was held Friday, January 31. Dr. Rao gave a very interesting talk to the children. "The Rajah," an Arabian act which was very funny, was a great hit with the children.

Boys Form Team The boys assembly rooms of the building formed teams Friday of last week. Monday night after school room one and room two were scheduled to play. But as the. boys did not have their shoes, they oniy played practice games. Charles Druitt, reporter for Garfield, Jr., High School.
