First Grade. Our Hallowe’en party was continued on Wednesday by eating the rest of the apples and popcorn. Beginning our third month, we have 25 children who have i>een neither tardy or absent. November is our “Thank You” month and we are making a large poster of the many different things we are thankful for. We are learning about the Pilgrims, their coming to America, and the Indians. We have an Indian doll with a papoose on her back. Ernest Rogers brought a papoose doll in an Indian cradle. Sasha Hire brought an Indian wigwam. Our sandtable will represent the Pilgrims coming to America and meeting the Indians. Remember the picture show Saturday morning and the Armistice Day services.' Miss Sohaski spent Tuesday morning with us and each child received an examination—eyes, and ears being checked and all were weighed and measured. Some notes were sent home to the parents. Second Grade. Our reading and social studies this month are concerned with the community and its helpers; the postman, the grocer, fireman, doctor, dentist, etc. We have made some interesting posters showing how they help us. We are studying about the use of the period and question mark in sentences, in English. Our eyes and ears have been tested and weighing and measuring done as a part of our health work. We are doing freehand cutting to illustrate the story of Thanksgiving on our bulletin board. Third Grade. Aileen Campbell, Connie Lou Ketering, Geneva Lawson, Joyce

Syracuse “Hi* Times

LeCount, Joan LeCount, Margaret Marsh, Jean Unrue, Connie Weingart, Noel Foreman, Richard Rosenberry and Morris McKibben have all been absent already this month. It certainly is impossible to have the good attendance record for November that we had for October. Mrs. Walter Rosenberry visited us Monday afternoon. We made health posters concerning milk today. We also started a new unit called “Wings of the Century.” AH we have so far for our table is a train which Gene Kitson brought us. Fourth Grade. Arthur Droke has returned to school after a week’s absence. Charles Forman has scarlet fever. We are multiplying by two figure multipliers now. It is great fun. Ellabelle Doll and Norman Schmidt are celebrating their ninth birthdays Tuesday. Miss Sohaski visited our room Tuesday. Fifth Grade. We were sorry to have Betty Lou Ritter leave us. She has moved close to Ligonier and will attend school there. In health class today we started posters conerning water and emphasizing the importance of ing four glasses dally. We had a problem race today and the gold side won. However, the scores were so low that we’re doing the same set of problems for tomorrow. Sixth Grade. Last month there were about a dozen failures in spelling. We are making a determined effort to overcome this weakness. The first week of this month has shown very favorable results. Most of the

pupils would rather not be in the BROWNIE class. We have begun the study of India in geography. It was surprising to us to learn what a great influence the Monsoon winds have upon the people of that country. In history the other day we were studying the story of Greece and comparing the city states of Athens and Sparta and we decided that the study of the arts as followed in Athens was better than the study of war as followed in Sparta. We have noted that tht> pupils who know the most the shows usually know the least about their lessons. Seventh Grade. It seems that Laddie Laughlin could not keep out of trohble in the front row in history, so Mr. Beck put him in a separate seat in the back f the room. Why Laddie, we thought you were the studious kind of person? It seems that when some of the students went down to Miss Harrington's house on Hallowe’en, they got showered and we also noticed that Miss Harrington went away in a big car. Is it a new one, Miss Harrington? The seventh grade girls defeated the eighth grade girls in a game of kick ball Friday noon, by a score of 12-13. Eighth Grade. The attendance has been staying up to the top throughout this week and we hope it stays there. The boys and girls who are in the Thangsgiving play practiced Monday and Tuesday mornings and seem to be getting along nicely. You should see the bonnet Miss Crocker, Iris Jean Telschow, wears.

Robert Wiggs is bending pieces of wire in the shape of different girls names and then giving it to them. He seems to be doing a nice job of it, too. The committees that were appointed last week are working very hard. The arithmetic problems seem to be very hard for most of us. There are a lot of wrinkled foreheads in the assembly. Sophomore News. The sophomores are making big plans for their party the 18th. It looks like we are going to have lots to eat. Virgil Ketering is moving to Angola, which will be our loss. A new way to acquire knowledge was learned from our history teacher. If it can’t be pounded in through the head, try the hickory stick method. A new Latin teacher on Monday. What fun! Some Sophomore mottoes: Eleanor C.—To always wait until the last bell rings. Howard H.—To write poems about my future wife. Wendel B.—To vamp all pretty girls. (Continued on page 8.)
