Esther Thosten Teacher.

We have returned to school af-
ter our two weeks Christmas vaca-
ton. Our school room has been
washed and cleaned and we all
have a fine attitude toward our
work. Above all we started out with
1000 attendance the first day and
we want to keep it up for the rest
of the month.
The last month was the Christ
mas month and we had our school
room decorated according. Red and
green streamers of crepe paper
with icicles were hung in the room
Christmas bells were also hung in
different places. Posters Of "The
Three Wise Men" were made by
Willard Betow and Werner Roelike,
The City Of Bethlehem at Night by
Ruth Below and Alvina Roelike,
Santa Claus posters by Bernice
Thostenson, The Christmas Tree by
Ruth Beow and Alvina Roelike.
Christmas wreaths by Earl Jen-
nings, Bernice Thostenson, and
Ruth Below. Christmas Bells and
flower pots were made for window
decorations by the teacher and
smaller pupils. On Friday afternoon,
December 10th we gave a program
for our parents and friends. We
had our little Christmas tree up
and the windows were covered
with paper to make 1t darker. Gifts
were distributed besides a few
other refreshments. We had a dis
play of some Of our best school
work in the back Of the room. We
are trying to improve our writing
and neatness of our work. Alice Be-
tow and Elmer Rapp had the best
and neatest work in Language and
Arithmetic. Willard Betow, Arthur
Cheadle, Ruth Betow, Myles Chea-
die, and Bernice eThostenson had
some very good colored maps Of
South America and Africa.
Our half year examinations were
given before Christmas and most Of
us received good marks.

consists Of:
9th Grade-Werner Roelike, Ruth
Betow, Bernice Thosteneson.
4th Grade-Alvina Roelike, Daisy

We are sorry so many Of us were
taken sick just before Christmas. A
great many Of us have had perfect
attendance up to that time but had
to stay home on account of illness.
However, one pupil got a prize at
Christmas time for perfect attend
ance, namely Elmer Rapp.
Daisy Cheadle, Alice Betow, and
Innozenz Roelike are among the
honorable mention.
Christmas also closed our SPELL
ing contest. We divided the school
into two sides. Each side had flag,
red and blue. The side which
had the most one hundreds got
their flag up for that night and a
gold star added to it. The side get
ting the most stars or the most one
hundreds wins.
The Blues are the victors with
six stars ahead Of the Reds.
The sides are as follows:
Blues-Daisy Cheadle, Alice Betow,
Arthur Cheadle, Willard Betow,
Myles Cheadle, Elmer y Rapp,
Ruth Betow, Bernice Thostenson.
Reds-Aaron Cheadle. Alvina Roe
like, Mabel Betow, Innozenz Roe
like, Pearl Jennings. Irene Jen-
nings Hazel Jennings, Walter
Thostenson.
We have to give the Reds credit
for being good losers.
We are now having contest be-
tween the boys and the girls. Due
to the fact that sides are uneven
Daisy Cheadle has volunteered to
help the boys. Thanks, Daisy you're
with us. So far the competition has
been such that neither side is able
to get ahead of the other.
We like to have visitors. Parents
and friends are welcome.
