First Grade. , Everyone had a very happy vacation and returned to school with much to talk about. The Wednesday afternoon before vacation was spent in working in our doll hduse. Pieces of furniture was made and painted hy the boys, while the girls made curtains for the windows, bedding for the beds, covers and pillows for the davenport. Carlyle Baumgartner wove a rug for the bedroom and bittersweet was planted in the window boxes. At 3 o’clock, Mrs. James Russell surprised everyone with a large three-tier cake in honor of Marilyn’s birthday, so each one had a pretty napkin and a large piece of cake which ended a most pleasant afternoon. We have several children with colds, but we are being very careful about sneezing or coughing without covering our mouths. Boxes of Kleenex are being donated for use in our room. Second Grade. We were glad to have so many mothers and friends at our November reading party. This interest incourages both children and the teacher in their work. Those present were Mrs. Lester Sawyer, Miss Gladys Bowser, Mrs. Lige LeCount, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Jay Rensberger, Mrs. Forest LeCount, Mrs. Charles Dean, Mrs. John W. Bowser, Mrs. Sam Howser, Mrs. Ray Frevert, Mrs. Wayne Duling, Mrs. Roy Wilkinson, Mrs. Carl Wilkinson, Mrs. Fred O. Clark, Mrs. Russell Droke and Junior Droke. Rosetta Holderman, Lyman Lawson, Ted Stucky and Lowell Barnhart had birthdays during the past week. We wish to thank Robert Sawyer for the Jimmy Acorn doll he made for us in the Opportunity Room.

Syracuse “Hi” Times

Third Grade. Everyone came back Monday morning, except Joan Wogoman, with tales of the fun they had, and how much turkey they had eaten. Joan, though, had bad luck because she spent her vacation taking cars of a cold. Nancy Ketering is absent today. Wednesday afternoon, we all sang the Thanksgiving songs we had learned. We heard several different stories and made Pilgrim cut-out dolls. We started a unit on Japan and China Monday morning. Gloria Kemp brought 4 books from her Bookhouse Series, with stories of China and Japan. We thank her so very much. Fourth Grade. Charles Foreman has returned to school after a four weeks’ absence. Norman Searfoss is absent today (Tuesday). Carol Miller from Toledo, Ohio, visited our room Monday. Paul Spry was visiting friends in Toledo, last week. We are working on short division problems in arithmetic. In geography, we are going on a trip to Arabia to visit Hirfa and her people. Kathleen Campbell was absent from school one day last week. Fifth Grade. It has been rather difficult to settle down after so much Thanksgiving. However, after forfeiting our recess Tuesday morning, we have decided that our vacation is over. The grades this month have improved slightly over last month. In some instances, there were decided improvements. We are sorry to say that two or three slipped back. The citizenship grades, are much better. Five boys had to pay double, however, for eating candy during music class. They treated the entire class with candy, and

also received a letter grade lower in citizenship. There were nine children absent this month, missing 12 days of school. Our average attendance was 26 5-8 pupils. Fourteen childrent have been neither absent nor tardy since school started. Sixth Grade. Those on the honor roll for November are: Betty Baumgartner, Betty Bowman, Betty Morgan, Mary Ann Stieglitz, Wilfred Beck and Gloria During the month there were 9 different pupils absent for a loss of 18 days. Thirteen of these were legally excused. Out of our enrollment of 36, we had an average daily attendance of 34.8. Our per cent of attendance was 97.4. This is the lowest for the term to date. Seventh Grade. It seems that Patricia Byers is celebrating Christmas early, for every movement of her arm causes that pretty new bracelet to jingle, making everyone think of the Christmas holidays. In our gym class. Barbara Bushong’s basketball team defeated Joan Ketering’s team by a score of 13 to 4. We wish to thank the eighth grade for inviting us to then play. We enjoyed it very much. Songs these people remind us of: Jpe Bauer—“ Just a Kid Named Joe.” Jean Myers —“Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair.” William Cory—“ Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” Kathleen Kafric^- —“Some Day My Prince Will Come.” Opportunity Room. We have had perfect attendance this week. We wish to take this opportunity to thank every child and teacher in the grade school build-

ing who made it possible for us to place Red Cross stickers in the window of every room. The children have been watching our bowl of narcissus bulbs with much interest. We read the story of Narcissus and Echo. Junior News. The boys in this week's NOTORIUS column are two which are always saying something cute, funny or otherwise, cutting up, getting the teachers disgusted with this whole junior class, etc. (It ain’t funny, McGee!) First, Robert Disher, “Bob” or sometimes just “Disher”, born on ■September 2, 1923, at Syracuse, Indiana. He became a member of “this heah” class when he was just six, the age of innocence, and wore those baggy kind of knee britches. (Do you remember way back when-—?) Now, he is 5 ft 9 1-2 inches tall, weighs 145, has real golden brown curly hair and greenish-grey eyes. Being a farm boy, his hobby is riding horses. (Hi-o, Platinum!) And his favorite dish, ah-hh, is ice cream; you know, the kind you make at home and can have all you can hold, unless the neighbors find it out, or company drops in all of a sudden. Bob’s pet peeve happens to be Bill Miller, who I hope is good-natured and doesn’t black both of Disher’s (Continued on page 8.)

QUESTION] ANSWER Which are the j / only cough drops containing t Vitamin A?- •

Chester W. Brown, who-is attending Purdue University, spent the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Brown.

MEN LOVE GIRLS WITH PE P If you are peppy and full of fun, men wfl] invite you to dances and parties. BUT if you are cross, listless and tired, men won’t be interested. Men don’t like “quiet” girls. When they go to parties they want girls along who are lull of pep. 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 Lyuia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It helps build up more physical resistance and thus aids in giving you more pep and lessens distress from kmale functional disorders. You’ll find Pinkham’s Compound WELL WORTH TRYING!
