> REPORTED BY THE STUDENTS

First Grade. On Wednesday, Oct. 11th, at the opening period of the afternoon, a review was being made about Columbus stories we had been hearing. The question was asked, “Who is the great man we have -been learning about this week?” Gareth Meek spoke up at once, “Mr. Slabaugh.” Mr. Slabaugh was our visitor at the time. Monday afternoon we were entertained with a reproduction of the “Wizard of Oz” by members of the second grade under the direction of Jack Clark. It was greatly appreciated and loudly applauded by the audience. Our train books are completed land we are enjoying our art in self expression of our stories, some of which are really better than teacher could do. The children have been asked to bring corn stalks to school; we want to make.something. Stephen Tung, Marilyn Godshalk and Rosemary Gingerich have been absent an account of illness. Second Grade. The seventh birthday of Barbara Seifert was celebrated in oyir room Monday. Barbara gave each child a candy bar as a favor. The following children dramatized the story of the Wizard of Oz, under the direction of Jack Clark, who had received masks of the story people: Donna Blakesley, Ralph Bushong, Barbara Bowser, Lowel Barnhart, Jerry Rensberger, Jack Clark, Barbara Seifert and Ted Stucky. We are using our science readers, “Through the Year,” now, and we are studying the habits of various caterpillars; Wooly Bear, who sleeps all winter; the green ones that spin cocoons, and those that make a chrysalis. iLyman Lawson is back in class after being absent the past week. Third Grade. We have a new boy in our room. His name is Noel Foreman. We drew the three ships that

Syracuse “Hi” Times

Columbus crossed at Atlantic Ocean in 1492, and the names are the Santa Maria, the Nina and the Pinta. Miss Simpson has been reading us a story of the fasm. Jack Clark, the director, and some other second graders, player the “Wizard of Oz” for us Monday afternoon. Mr. Blocker visited us Thursday morning and Mrs. Orvil Ritter visited in the afternoon. Fourth Grade. Joan Harvey has been absent from school Monday and Tuesday of this week. Everett Halsey was absent Tuesday. Everett is entertaining a toothache. . Charles Foreman entered the fourth grade, October 16th. He came from Redkey, Indiana. The fourth grade IS beginning their multiplication tables. The sth grade won the addition contest Friday afternoon, but the 4th grade boys and girls did very well. They are willing to try again some Friday afternoon. Fifth Grade. We are proud to display the plaque which we received after defeating the fourth grade at addition. However, it is ours only as long as we are able to be the winners. The next time it will be subtraction. Tuesday morning, we really made sugar from starch. Each pupil had a half slice of bread which he chewed as ordinarily to see the result. Most of them noticed the change in flavor. After this each one chewed their piece thirty-four times and most pupils were surprised to find they had no bread left. Sixth Grade. W T ell, the annual game between the sixth grade and the seventh grade has been played with the seventh graders winning by a score of 17 to 14. Since the score was so close, the boys have decid-

ed to challenge them for another game to be played yet this fall. Richard Ketring and Donna Galloway were absent last week. In our reading class on Monday, we studied a part of the story of Mary Austin in which she described the condition of the peasant class in Russia during the 1880’s. At the close of the recitation, one of the pupils was heard to remark, “We don’t known what a good country we have to live in, do we?” Seventh Grade. Mr. Beck’s baseball team, the the Cubs, were rewarded for their hard fought battle by an ice cream feed, Thursday. Mr. Beck furnished the ice cream and Mr. Slabaugh, the cake. I wonder what the umpire got? Billie Applegate, Joe Rapp and Junior Wogoman were absent this week. Someday when you see Charles Searfoss, ask him how you should prepare a breakfast at camp. The sixth grade played some of the boys from the 7th and Bth grade Friday and Monday noons. The sixth grade lost. Eighth Grade. The Spic and Span committee is in action with the same officers and it will continue to be thus, until October 25, when we will have another meeting of our “Up to the Minute Club.” The Clean-Up committee is also in action in our English room and it will continue under the same management until our next meeting. Our attendance has been so good that our Good Deed committee has not had an opportunity to take action. We have chosen our Thanksgiving play as “The Mysterious Thanksgiving Guest.” The parts will be taken as follows: Mr. Jonathin Perkins, the farmer, Jimmie Myers; Mrs. Mary Jane Perkins, his wife, Priscilla LeCount; Albert, the hero, Jack Carr; Rev. Ephram Sage, the village parson,

Joe Shock; Miss Susan Crocker, the village gossip, Iris Telscho; Sally, the kitchen maid, Ellen Reagan; Bob, the grocer’s boy, Roy Stiffler. We think that we have a good play and that our cast has been well chosen. The 7th and Bth grade classes had a baseball game Tuesday noon. The score was 9 to 9 at the end of the seventh inning. Juniors. Monday noon, , Mr. Thornburg brought over sample rings from which we are to choose. The class met with M. Fidler and Miss Harrington and a committte of 3 girls and 3 boys was chosen by the president to pick out six rings. Then the class will decide which of the six will be adopted as the ring of the class of 1941. Flash! What just went by? Oh, yes, it was Romeo Ruple in that bee-'u-ti-ful red plaid shirt. Ask any junior English student about the “History of Baseball.” We ought to know! When we recently had to write a short essay, all but one or two of the boys gave the above subject, each one giving a different word once in a while, of course, but otherwise, almost identical. Miss Hamman declared she was going to give us a test on it, but due to a kind heart, spared us at least one test. (Teachers: Take a hint!) NEEDED LN THE ENG. ROOM 1. One large clock that strikes every 5 minutes for those fellows who have to have the time at least that often. 2. A basketball ring around the wastepaper basket so that all energy won’t be wasted when the basketball. boys start throwing things (such as returned test papers, and when trying to get a brainstorm for a theme, etc.). 3. Extra pencils and paper, so that some people won’t always have to keep enough of a supply for two or three. (Continued on page 8.)
