Friday we 5A2's went into the
5Al room to see California play.
We enjoyed it very much. They
must have worked very hard on it.
One of the scenes l enjoyed much
was of the olden days of the Span
ish senoras, the gay senoritas, and
the senors. / think every boy and
girl enjoyed it, not only the ones
in the audience, but the performers
also.
Last night our teacher handed
back all of our old geography book
lets that we had made in the sixth
grade during the year. Some OF
them were very badly faded from
lying around so long. We all en-
ioyed looking at the improvements
made from our first booklets to our
last ones.
All year long the 5A2's have been
reporting about leading in banking,
but we did not win this week in re-
gard to having the most money, but
we did win ON the most depositors.
We thought that fine record and
we hope to win next week in both
depositors and money. The two
rooms that had more money thu
week than we did had boy eacl
who belonged TO the Al club
where prizes are given for raising
hogs and cattle. Each of these two
boys deposited his check and natur
ally brought up the amount OF
money from his room.
All the children in Lincoln schoo
are proud of their school, for lin
coin school had large amount OF
money in banking this last week
The amount which we think is large
was over 800. How is that for {
