Our sand table represents the poem, “The Night Before Christmas,” with our doll house as the home and Santa and his reindeer on the snow-covered lawn. Janis Weimer donated a Christmas tree and Marcia and Janet Fobes gave four pieces of new furniture to the doll house. Our fish aquarium is on our table now with five fish living there. Ernest Rogers and Jon Bushong brought fish the first day. We are so sorry to have any of our children absent, but hope they can all be back real soon. We are getting along nicely with our readers and will be ready with Christmas stories from other books. Second Grade. We have been preparing for Christmas by making wreaths of holly, and candles for our windows, also working out the Christmas story on the bulletin board and sand table. Esther Wilkinson brought hay for the manger, and Jack Dean and Jack Clark brought some pine branches to cover the stable. We are working on linear and liquid measure in numbers and on the spelling of number words to 100. Mrs. Blakesley was a guest in our room. Kenneth Traylor, Jack Clark, and Jack Duling were absent this week. Third Grade. Nancy Ketering arid Aileen

Syracuse “Hi” Times

Campbell have been absent most of last all of this week so far because of colds. John Hinderer was also absent Tuesday. We started Christmas wreaths last Friday and finished them on Monday night. Gene Kltson, Gloria Kemp, Willodean Traster and Evelyn Niles stayed after school and hung the best wreaths around the room and helped to re-cover the fireplace. Thanks so much. We now have the Holy family guarded by two angels on top of the fireplace. We are studying carrying in arithmetic. Fourth Grade. Kathleen Campbell is on the sick list. She has been absent for several days. Mrs. Irving Bishop visited our room Monday forenoon. Fifth Grade. The Christmas season is beginning to show up in our room decorations. Last week, when we made our small wreaths for our room, a number of the children wanted to make larger ones for their window at home. Thursday, we are going to make these wreaths. Tuesday afternoon, we took a walk, rather than having recess period. As a result of throwing wet leaves, six boys had the advantage of an extra study period. One of our girls found the reason why football players dori’t wear glasses in scrimmage. “How can it be football?” asked one seventh grader, “The play with a basketball on the baseball diamond and call it football. Hnamm!” , Sixth Grade. Donna Galloway has returned from her trip through the South and has told us a very interesting account of her journey. We have organized a Give and

Take Club for a language project. Our first discussion will be about safety. We have had several absences this week because of bad colds. Citizenship grades are noticeably throughout the grade building. We will give you just one guess why? Seventh Grade. We wish to thank the girls of the ninth grade for inviting us to their play, after which the seventh grade girls presented two short one-act plays. The names of the plays presented’ by the seventh grade were, “Red Shoes at Plymouth,” and “Scotch Grace.” We are sorry to say that one of the girls, June Hummel, was unable to participate in the play at the last minute, as it was impossible. Things the seventh grade pupils are noted for forgetting: Barbara B.: Red Shores. Margaret M.: spelling pad. Everyone; music book and paper. Leopa R.: Home Ec book. Laddie L.: arithmetic problems. Kathleen R.: How to pronounce “accompanying”. Theodore Thomas has left to spend his winter in Florida. We hope he will enjoy himself. Freshman Class. The Freshmen decided to have a party. Where and when is supposed to be kept quiet. Why? Because the upper classmen might think it fun to come around and borrow the eats. Robert Baumgartner must beimproving in basketball. Anyway, he got to practice with the first team. Nice work, Bob. I wonder what two or three of the freshmen girls are doing with some of the upper classmen?

the speech of the people. We learned from Mary that boya don’t ask to take you home, but instead, say, “Cain’t ah carry you all home?” It’s jail right if you understand thatj they only want to take you home, not carry you.

It was entitled, “A Modern Thanksgiving,” and was the story on page 8.) Iris Telschoxv “Free ‘Wimpy’ at Dixie.”
