The fifth and sixth grade room
ranks highly this past week in neat
ness. No more small pieces of paper
will ever be seen on the floor. Are
YOU asking why? Because this room
has a lovely new brown waste paper
basket, and what's more, it is being
used.
Pupils in Miss Norton's room are
playing a new game, "The Skuffling
Race" Did you ever hear Of it? The
game is simple and easy to learn
Each child is making special effort
to walk upstairs and down without
skuffling or making all the noise that
is possible. It's very easy game IN
which there are many winners. Such
a game would be splendid for every
one to try to become winner and
play it often, even when alone.
The fifth and sixth grade nature
classes had such difficult time in
studying the lively little box elder
bugs, that at last it had to be given
up and the bugs fell asleep by some
unknown method before the class
gained much knowledge Of them.
A number of committees have been
elected in Miss Norton's room. The
Room Committee prepares the room
for work. The Piano Committee
brings in the piano and chair for class
and takes care of them after each mu-

ers the plants. There is also Cal
endar Committee and four line leaders
who head and control their various
lines at recess and dismissal.
The Primary Room have organized
a family: the father. mother, and two
children. The father is always chosen
by his height but this failed to be the
case this year. . Miss Gardner was
helping in the election of the father.
when wee voice spoke up-yet in a
very decisive tone: "Well I'll tell you
Vernon should be the father, and l
know it,"
"Well, why Mary?" asked Miss
Gardner.
"Well, don't you see, he's wearing
a mans necktie." Vernon was elect

A good French modjste is being kept
from the world as she is preparing
herself for a teacher. Go to the pri-
mary room and ask to see Kathryn
Burns Halloween hat for further
proof.
Next week the student teachers
teaching in the primary room will
make Jack-o-Lanterns but pumpkins
are barred.
Important!
Anyone who pretends to be a friend
to the primary room and who has
magazines from which pictures can
be cut, will be received with welcome
faces. The primary room wants to
make picture books. 1t is hoped that
many will respond to it's plea.
The new sand has arrived in the pri-
many room and is already in great de-
mand by many tiny fingers. Some fine
smooth clay has also been put in use.
It's such fun molding that shapeless
clay into tiny figures and forms that
so delight the little makers.
The third and fourth grade room is
prettily decorated with fruit baskets
that have just been completed in the
drawing class. Each child drew its
own fruit without any pattern and put
it into brown paper baskets. The eff
fects are very lovely and deserve a
great deal of credit.
