The following people attended
our Thanksgiving program Nov. ~:
Arvilla Uphus, Vernon Marthaler,
Helen and Leo Marx, Leona Eiben-
steiner, and Loretta Bentfield. At
ter the program we had some fun
with races and contests. Frank
Marthaler arrived in time to help
us enjoy our Thanksgiving lunch.
After we'd finished our pumkin pie
we left with the best Thanksgiving
wishes.
Miss Moran's sister, Genevieve,
visited our school the Friday fol-
lowing Thanksgiving
WE are busy practicing and dec
Grating our school for our Christ
mas program which we will give
the last Friday afternoon before
Christmas. We want all the people
who are interested in District No.
157 to come to our school that af-
ternon at 2:30.
Alice enjoys the process Of multi
plication so much that when she is
given one table to learn she gener-
ally goes ahead and learns the next
one too. Frank, in the Fifth grade,
had better study up or she will
know her multiplication combina-
tions better than he.
The Seventh and Eighth grades
wrote synopsises of the Courtship
of Miles Standish after we had fin
ished that poem. Elenora's synop-
sis is part of our news this week.
They are now studying Dickens
Christmas Carol. Lavene thinks
she beAar not study her reading les
son just before going to bed. We
know that behind all the spooki-
ness there is a big lesson, however
Bernard will soon finish his first
book. He has made some fine lit
tie color booklets this week, too
We are proud of the way he car
count and write his numbers now
Alice was a strict little bulletin
board supervisor. She was not sat.
isfied with just any kind of mater.
ial. Will Lorena be that strict this
week?
The Fifth grade geography class
like the Middle Atlantic Group OF
states. Frank told us to study how
candy was manufactured. We know
from the interesting classes that
other industries are just as inter
esting if not quite so sweet.
If Jack Frost does not interfere
Alice will find out some interesting
things by watching the. beans she
planted in her glass.
The Seventh and Eighth grades
Civic class had to take their test or
public institutions in Minnesota
over again. The results of the sec.
ond test were more encouraging.
Why must teeth decay and tur.
keys have to be butchered fol
Christmas? Alice missed half g
day by visiting the dentist and
{; Lambert spoiled this months at
, tendance record by days absence
to help get turkeys on the market
We hope that will be the only baG
mark in the register for December
| Maybe it is because blunders are
funny that we learn through
them. Alvina will not tell us agair
that we get hives from cows. There
is quite a difference between hives
and hides.
The children here just cannot
keep secrets. Now everybody
| konws who drew his name for oul
Christmas gift exchange.

request.
When John Alden asked yPriscil.

for yourself John?" Alden went
back and told the captain this. He
was very angry because he thought
Alden had betrayed him.
Then Miles Standish was called to
