FIFTH GRADE Mrs. Morris An airmail letter addressed to the fifth grade and Mrs. Morris was received January 20 containing a complimentary booklet copy of the presidential inauguration ceremonies. The question puzzling the teacher and pupils is why Mr. N. C. Fick from Washington. D. C. didn't send it sooner plus enough tickets for all. The history of the United States: a subject new’ to our grade this year, has proven interesting particularly in a study of the Declaration of Independence A large facsimile borrowed from Mr. Buntain's room has puzzled many who tried to read the script used at the time. Some of the pupils on a written test gave John Hancock credit for writing the original instead of Thomas Jefferson. Two senior girls, interested in teaching as a career, have observed Mrs. Ditmer's art class and an arithmetic class. Bonnie Brouwer visited a history and an English class. Davud Cobbum, a senior, will visit the art class this week. David was a member of Mrs. Morris’ fifth grade as a pupil and at that time displayed a talent in art which was outstanding. Mumps and flu have taken their toll in our room and the attendance the last grading period shows much absence. Long division in arithmetic has brought to light that some of the pupils haven’t mastered the multiplication tables or subtraction facts. Four volunteer pupils in the room are acting as teachers to help the pupils who need extra work. They work during free time after lunch until time to go to the gymnasium. There has been enthusiam and keen competition in choosing contestants for the annual spelling bee. Three different spell Ice Skates Sharpened Sportsman Center • Phone GL 7 2471 Syracuse

Safari. For the past four weeks we have been eating a better breakfast to send our team along the trail. The members of the four competing teams were chosen at random. Gary Fsher, Cinda Huber, David Bushong. Donna Hulley, Amy Coy and Cindy Pound? were the winning team. We hope that everyone now’ has the habit of eating, a good breakfast each morning to help them study efficiently all through the morning. \ Our newly-elected president of Book Club is Steven Yoder. Donna Hulley was selected to put the stars on our record chart for this six-weeks period. The Big Event in the Third Grade is attending the Shrine Circus in Fort Wayne. We anticipated this trip for months. The blue and gold hats we make identify us a? Syracuse students. This year our hosts, Shriners Clem Lisor and Ross Osborn, room mothers, Mrs. Pounds and Mrs. Heil. Mrs. Byrd and Mrs. Hess; PT A President Gerald Cramar. Superintendent and Mrs. Immel and Mrs. Richards as well as our teachers accompanied us. Our drivers in the thirty bus caravan were Max Workman and Sam Bushong. Cindy Pound’s photo-' graph showed how excited we all felt. Now we are writing stories about My Day at the Circus for the essay contest. Elephants. horses, lions, tigers, chimpanzees, jugglers, acrobats, clowns—they were just part of the entertainment. How can we choose the acts we enjoyed the most? Many of us were afraid we would have mumps on The Day but only Jenny Thornburg had to.stay home. We are sorry for her. We brought her a cutout book because we doubtea that we could put the funny baby elephant in the bus with us. Mrs. Usula Richards, a senior in elementary education at Goshen College, is our student teacher this year. She was with us the first week in September and numerous other times during the first semester. Now she is .helping us every day for eight weeks. Two teachers in the room can provide us with more individual instruction. BILLS PRESSING? Let us consolidate your bills, past due or not, into one low payment you can afford. Garnishments avoided!
