ST. PATRICK'S SCHOOL
GRADES ONE AND TWO.

GRADES ONE AND TWO.
Our verse is: "All that you do,
do with your might; things done by
Ea.Nes are F'r done right"
Now that the weather is c,rde
the attendance at the morning
mass is much better.
In catechism this week we had a
review of the Ten Commandments.
The second grade had an oral
spelling test Tuesday afternoon.
Robert Beiler was the one that got
a 100 per cent.
In arithmetic we are working in
multiplication and division.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf was
one of our interesting reading les
sons.
In a spell-down in the first grade,
every little boy was still standing
when the time was up.
Monday our teacher told us the
beautiful story of Our Lady of
Lourdes."
Tuesday we heard a nice story
about Abraham Lincoln when he
was a boy. We drew log cabins
the same day.
Wednesday morning before mass
we had the distribution of the bless
ed ashes.
st. Valentine day was we'll observ-
ed in our room. In the morning our
drawing time We made pretty val
entines and in the afternoon We
spent happy half hour in exchang-
ing them. Then came a very pleas
ant surprise; our teacher presented
every boy in the room with a holy
picture and also a generous treat of
sweets from a kind friend which
was much enjoyed.
FIFTH GRADE.
Our saying this week was: From
Lincolns second inaugural address,
with malice towards none; with
charity for all; with firmness in the
right, as God gives us to see the
/ right. let US strive on to finish the
work we are in"
We were glad 20 add the Names
Of George Grummel and Kenneth
Bergeron to the list of those hav-
ing baby bonds"
We had our annual valentine box
Thursday. 1t was not as gorgeous
4
tents as on former years as most
of US took the advice Of our eeacher
who said that instead of spending
all our pennies on valentines we
buy Thrift stamps with them.
From the looks OF things we are
certainly trying to make Uncle sam
give our postman the prize. Last
Tuesday we bought nearly SO worth
OF Thrift stamps in our room alone,
as the Scotch say: Many a little
makes a nickle."
I suppose you know that Wednes-
day was the beginning of Lent. We
had a splendid attendance at mass;
also at the ceremony of the drstri-
button Of the ashes.
Tuesday being claimed by Lincoln
as his birthday, we all wrote COM
p0siticrs on this great man and read
them later TO each other. The Sc
| lection of the best would have been
difficult. Lincoln seemed 10 have
| inspired US.
We were treated 10 some excel
! lent drawing by the following boys:
| Clarence Meiser, Michael Bognar.
Raymond Payne, John Schmit,
| sylvester Clarity and willard For
tier.
Thursday. St. Valentine day. we
wrote compositions on the dear old
saint. We had the pleasure OF read
/ ing them in class.
SIXTH GRADE.
AS this week is dedicated 20 Lin
coin, naturally our quotations were
about him.
One of them was taken from In
gerson: Lincoln was the grandest
figure of the fiercest Civil war. He
is The gentlest memory Of our
world"
The assistant supervisor of the
Practical Drawing Co, Miss NJ.
Mold. while in our room compli-
mented us personally on the prog
ress we had made and said that we
were getting TO be real artists.
We have Cor rather had) pic
| ture OF "Old Abe" reposing on the
walls OF our room. But as the h.
I Of c. had a Lincoln day celebration.
they robbed us OF him for the event.
we expected to have our beloved
picture back for our exercises. But
alas he had not returned on Thurs
day. Well, he may return on Fri
day. wait and hope" must be our
motto.
We have been reading a new
story. Tommy Travers-" We Ave
