Dear friend,
March is a cold month and 1t
SHOWS and rains. The snow gets so
deep the cars get stuck and have
to pull them out or jut chains on.
In March help all can. curry
two horses. Their names are Patti
and Mike. I can walk in beside
them and tie them up so they can
not break loose. If they do break
loose they might get into the grain.
I like to paint pictures. Vernon,
painted a chick and the shell,
Thomas and painted too.
I can write with pen and ink
good.
have lots of fun. like to go up
to Trisko's, when I can. We go up
in the barn and in the silo. Some
times we play tag. Vernon and
are the only boys there, but when
I am gone there is only one boy.
We had a practice teacher. She
was good as Miss Kiken. I like
reading and spelling. I just about
know tables of 2's, 3s, As and SIS
and we have phonies.
We have read 4 or 5 books this
year.

nest of eggs and the hen standing

We are seeing birds and each
pupil tells when he sees a new
bird. So far some of us have seen
Robin, Meadowlark, Horned Lark,
Crows and Blackbirds.

Easter vacation begins Friday
9th and runs until April 9Th. We
will miss having April fools day at
school. In case OFF poor roads we
will have another week.
Friday was a very poor atten-
dance day. It was one of the very
poorest days this year There were
only fifteen pupils in school.
Last week Easter posters Of a
rabbit were made on Friday after
noon. Friday that vacation began
we dismissed early instead Of doing
any industrial work.
Miss Kiken put us some pictures
of birds found around here. We are
watching to see who can see the
first of the different birds.
We hope that after vacation our
sick pupils will be well enough to
return. Some have been absent
two weeks. There was more sick
ness during March than all other
months put together.
Review is begun in the upper
grades. The 7th and 9Th have fin
ished their geography and now are
making maps and placing various
products, cities and states on them.
We were tracing maps Friday and
not putting up decorations when
some of you people were passing.
The Eighth grade have finished
their history book and almost
through their grammar.
We have been working very hard
on Pennmanship drills since
Christmas. Some have a second
set of drills ready to be sent in. We
al tried very hard to get pin.
Five pupils have earned the plain
