First Grade. Good Book Week was observed by talkink about how we can take care of books. The second grade read us a poem about books and Mr. Slabaugh talked to us about how we can care for our books. We called our books “our friends” because they teach us many things. Dick Kitson read us stories from a library book. We are practicing stories to be read to the classroom. We have our doll house in our room now and will be making furniture, curtains and many things for it. Harriett Eppert, Margaret Kitson and Marilyn Russell have birthdays this week. We are enjoying our fire place and like to sit around it for our reading classes. Mr. Harry Lewallen visited us Tuesday morning a little while. The children enjoyed the snow during Tuesday afternoon recess. We read poems about the snow. Second Grade. We are having another reading party, Wednesday, November 22, as a review of Indian and Pilgrim stories. Mr. H. E. Lewallen, county superintendent, was a guest in our room, November 21. We wish to thank Mrs. George Hire, librarian, for letting us use an Indian tepee during our Indian unit and also Mrs. Rapp, who gave us some lovely bittersweet for our room, ' Jack T. Brown, Ted Stucky and Robert Deah brought burlap and with the help of tjie older boys, built a tepee on the playground. We are looking forward to a happy Thanksgiving vacation. Third Grade. Last week being Book Week, we did several things concerning books. First of all, we learned a song about our Book Friends. Then we made a large book poster which had on it the poem, "If you lived in a book.” We finished our transportation unit today. We are studying three figure numbers in arithemetic, now.

Syracuse “Hi” Times

Mr. Harry Lewallen visited as for a while today. Sixth Grade. Donna Lee Galloway is taking an extended trip * through the Southern States and expects to be gone for about ten days. She has written us two letters describing her trip. Robert Peterson entered our room last week, and has been sick ever since with the chicken pox. (We hope he doesn’t blame that on to us.) Jane Myers withdrew Friday to enter the Harrison Hill school in Ft. Wayne. Because of Donna’s trip and Robert’s chicken-pox our attendance record is suffering a set back. Mr. Lewallen, the county superintendent, visited our room for a little while, Tuesday forenoon. Seventh Grade. Some of the boys have been getting into trouble when their mothers happen to see things about them in the paper, but remember this, we only write the news as we see it. We are sorry to say that our attendance is far below the average. In fact we think some of the absences are unnecessary. A part of the poem, “The Court ship of Miles Standish,” was dramatized by Kathleen Rarick as Priscilla and Adolph Stieglitz as John Alden. We had two debates in history class, Friday. The captains for one debate were Margaret Miles and Dale Weingart. Margaret’s team won. In the other debate, the captains were Jean Myers and Joe Rapp. Jean’s team won. ' Sophomore News. A big Saturday night for the Sophomores! What a party! The few that were absent missed an exciting time and a chance at the prizes, which were worth working for. A theatre ticket was won by Elaine Coy and another by Betty Wolfe. * * • How to identify the Sophomores: Phillip B.—By his grin.

WATERFOWL SEEN IN LAKES AND STREAMS Prospects for one of the best duck seasons in recent years were reported today by Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, after a survey showed an unusual number of ducks, geese and other waterfowl species on Indiana wateis. Thousands of waterfowl nested this spring at the Kankakee and Jasper-Pulaski game preserves where nearly twenty-five hundred acres of marsh have been created as a refuge. Wardens and conservationists have also reported the presence of ducks, geese and other waterfowl on a number of lakes and streams. “Free ‘Wimpy’ at Dixie.” Frederick Traster, Jr.

H. $. Ca;en Win 20 to 14 by Richard Pracht Special Bulletin: Syracuse Invaded by strange people from land called Milford last Friday, Nov. 17, approximately 7:30 p. m. Two fighty battles ensued. Both sides supported by huge armies entirtly flanking battlefield. In first scrimmage Syracuse lost since Milford scored 20 direct hits, while the Blue made 16. Major battle resounded with roars of cannon of supporting flanks as both armies charged each pther only to retreat from a withering counter-attack by enemy. Syracuse retaliated from first setback to win, having cannon ball hit target 26 times to Milfords 24. Our first team appeared nervous and excited in Friday’s game. Maybe they got stage fright from the crowd. It was so large that Mr. s Slabaugh had to hang out the S. R. O. sign. Even Mr. Reinboldt was there to shoot the boys with his trusty camera. The boys passed the leather badly during the first three quarters and were ‘butterfingered” when it came to hanging onto the ball. Syracuse wasn’t accurate either, getting only 2 out of 10 free throws and 12 field goals in 50 attempts. They missed more than three-fourths of their trys. Luckily Milford was just as bad as they sank only 2 out of 12 free throws and made 6 field goals out of 41 trys. Le-

Count is still high scorer with 31 points, and Kern and Beck are next, each having 27 points. Kern and Beck are tied for committing the most fouls with 1 apiece. Felts is third with 6 offenses. On the second team, O’Haver is high man with 20 points. Both teams played good defensive ball, although Milford slipped in the last half. Even though only 2 points were scored by the silver in the last period, our defense was best in the second quarter, the hottest part of the game. Milford was held to a free throw and one field goal, Syracuse led at the half, 10 to 8. The third period was mediocre. In the last quarter our boys ran away with the game, scoring 5 field goals on a tired Milford team the final score being 26 to 14. The ponies put up their best game of the season, but still victory was not captured. The Blue gave their best, showing in the second period; they had a sparkling defense (Milford sinking only one field goal) and the offense was nearly as good.
