SYRACUSE "HI" TIMES

First Grade. We find there are so many things to be done in the first grade since school has started. Our pre-primers are becoming real books and we can read stories from them at the reading cir•cle. We are learning to write our first names at the black board and this week we began our n amber books.' ‘ ‘ ’ Arlen Bobeck and Sharon Rose X«eCoUnt have had birthdays this past week, and we had birthday cakes and candles on the blackboard. We thank Mrs. Joe Bushong for the lovely plant she gave us. The children are looking ,forward with great pleasure to the picture, “The Wizard of Oz.” They are enjoying the story very much. Second Grade. We have completed our series of tests in “Numbers at Work,” and are now working on the first pack of our combination flash cards. The children are looking forward to the day at the fair, Friday. Our art lesson was a chart showing the primary and secondary colors. Cut-outs of dirigibles, airplanes and balloons were used to illustrate these colors, and to correlate the lesson with our transportation unit. Lyman Lawson, Dick Sa pen, Ruth Houser and Donna Blakesley were absent during the past week. Thanks so much, Jack and Tom Brown for the bittersweet, and Bobby Shock for the gourds and kaffir corn. Third Grade. We finished studying about ■“Pets” last Friday. Thursday the children cut (free hand) a horse whom we named Teddy Horse after the one we read about in our reader. To the surprise of some, many of the cut-outs really looked like horses. This week we started reading about the farm. For the first time since school started, all pupils are present. Your present reporter for third grade will only, act as censor froni no(W : oh. SUrtihg today “we have three reporters in our room: Gene Kitson, the editor, and Fred Ritter and Lloyd Bitzer as his two right hand men. I’m anxious to see what the boys will write , for next week aren’t you? Fourth Grade. Melvin Weaver was absent Monday on account of the tooth ache. Robert Lee is withdrawing from the fourth grade September 26. He is going to Champaign, 111.

Harriet Baker is celebrating her ninth birthday today, Sept. 26. Carolyn Baugher and Marilyn Miller are sending copies of their writing to the Warsaw fair. Fifth Grade. We are planning well-balanced breakfast and luncheon menus in health class. In dur study, we found that most of the children ate receiving such breakfasts and lunches at hotae. But please don’t be alarmed if some of the fifth grade pupils makes a suggestion about their meat. Bob Shock brought us a grand chart outlining the food values of most of the important and common foods. In our history class, our discussion of early European history led to comparison with present European history. Some of the members are very well informed on conditions in Europe as well as the United States. Sixth Grade. Attendance this week has been a little better. Treva Hamilton, Hazel Coquillard and Richard Ketering have the absence marks. Last year the total number of minutes of tardiness for .he entire year was seven. On Tuesday of the week one boy was absent fifteen minutes. On October second we are going to spend our entire reading period in the print room of the Syracuse News in the Pickwick building. We have been studying about the development of printing and book making and believe that this trip may furnish some first hand experience. Each child that can bring a penny will have it cast into a souvenier and given back to them. Eight Grade. During the last week, the eighth grade English class has organized a club called “Up to the Minute Club,” with Richard Johnson acting as president; Jimmie Myers, vice-president; Priscilla LeCount, secretary; Joan Xanders, treasurer, and Sara jane Hinderer, news reporter. Several committees were appointed .this weekas follows: the “Spic and Span” committee for study hall No. 2, and the “Clean Up” committee for room 4. There others also, for other purposes. June Funk withdrew from the eighth grade class Monday and will move to Indianapolis. Sophomore News. At their first meeting the sophomore class elected the following officers: Mr. W. Gustaf son, sponsor; Richard Pracht, pres.; Betty Henwood, vice-pres., and Philip Brower, sec.-treas. ! •’

Junior News. The Juniors met Wednesday with Mr. Slabaugh for the organization of the class. The results were as follows: Lois Davis, pres.; Martha Hibschman, vice-pres.; and sec.-treas., Ruth Rarig. We are sure these officers will take us safely through the hazards and perils of our next-to-last year and here’s “Smooth ■Sailing!!” to all of them. Miss Harrington and Mr. Fidler were named as sponsors. The, question of class rings has come up again and it. has been voted to get them this year as the two classes ahead of up have done instead of waiting until our senior year. j So far we have one of the smallest classes in the entire school with 27 members, all of whom were with us last year. But we are hoping to get several new members, at least enough to hit the 30 mark. Here, fellows and gals is an example of junior English brainstorms! Take heed to the moral, too. Types of Students in The Study Hall. It is interesting to gaze over the study hall and watch the reactions of the students in the study hall. There’s the girl who is always in her seat before the bell rings. She has her books out ready to study or sometimes has already begun when she hears the bell. After the bell rings she continues to study, her head is never lifted from her book. She is a perfect picture of concentration. She Is the girl who always comes to class with her lesson. This is the way we should all study, but most of the time we find it hard. Then there’s the boy who is continually twisting around in his seat. He doesn’t whisper or cause a disturbance but he is all eyes and ears to what is going on around him. He is the person who forgets to get his lesson dr just doesn’t have time. . Next, there is the girl who spends fifteen or twenty minutes at the beginning of the period to comb her hair and apply her make up. This is absolutely necessary, because she must look just right in case anyone happens glance' in’her direction. She might* study for ten or fifteen minbtes, then she must make herself look nice for the period to follow. She never has her lesson and usually doesn’t care. The last and worst type of them all is the boy who is constantly whispering, asking to borrow something, wants you to pass a note, wants to talk about a coming event or one just past, wants to know what the lesson is, or worse yet, wants you to get his lesson for him. He is the person who is indifferent to the whole idea of schodl.

If an innocent by-stander could see these students in tfhe study hall and then follow them through later life, he would find that they would react to life and the problems of life in much the same manner as they reacted to the study period. I’m sure .hat he would advise you to employ the method of the first girl while studying. Ruth Rarig.-Hl-School News. Clifford Cripe went to Chicago Monday and Tuesday with the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corp. •' 4 Tuesday was' the first neon period the weatherman forced pupils to play indoors. It see.ned natural to see basketballs sailing through the air again. This week is the end of the first month of school and cards for the first monthly report will be sent home to parents next Wednesday evening. Marks on these cards have a real meaning, and parents who are interested in the grade of work being done by children should give these cards their attention. Atwood brought their own umpire along Tuesday afternoon. We believe somebody has been telling tales. Five freshman girls skipped school one afternoon last week and all brought the same excuse from parents. Softball.

So in case you need a good general system tonic, remember for 3 generations one woman has told another how to go “smiling thru” with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It helps build up more physical resistance and thus aids in giving you more pep and lessens distress from female functional disorders. You’ll find Pinkham’s Compound WELL WORTH TRYING!
