The Fifth Grade Is
Writing Modern History

Who says they don't like history
1t surely isn't the members of the
Rainbow History Club" in Miss
WatsOn's section of the fifth grade
for they have taken a keen interest
in keeping a historical diary from
day to day and have done a very
commendable piece of work. Begin
ming with the first day of March they
haye recorded in their diaries his
torical happenings that actually
happened on the different days in
cluding Saturdays and Sundays.
These diaries were also made a
part of the opening exercises each
morning after the following plan:
On Friday of each week a chairman
is chosen to head a committee of six
other pupils which he selects to
serve with him. Each pupil then
makes a report for his day on the
historical event assigned to him by
the chairman, which report is either
read or told by the pupil at the
close of the opening. exercises in the
morning.
The members of this committee
find their own reference material if
possible. If any one of them dces
not succeed in finding reference
for his day, he reports to the chair
man. The chairman then sees what
help he can give. If he fails to find
he resorts to the teacher.
The committees have proven to be
quite capable as the teacher has
been resOrted to only twice since
the project was begun two months
ago.
LOose-leaf notebooks are being
made during the art periods this
week in which to keep their diaries.

|. GIRLS ANTICIPATE
MOTHERS DAY BY
HOLDING SUPPER
PARTY MONDAY
The Tables Looked Very
Nice With Pink Carna-
tiOns And Menus.

Monday afternoon was a busy
time for most of the Girl Reserves.
And why not? We were preparing a
dinner for our mothers. 1t did not
seem very long before six o'clock
when our mothers came.
The tables looked very nice with
pink carnations and dainty menus.
Each mother was given a carnation
and fern tied with pink ribbon and
one of the menus, which were really
lovely. The tomato cocktail also
added to the beauty of the table.
Thanks to some of the girls we had
dogwood decorations.
After much excitement we finally
started. First we sang q song and
then Mrs. Nichols led us i'll prayer.
While the girls were clearing the
tables they sang another song The
next course was served and after
several short speeches we finished
our meal. Mrs. George Sipple enter
tanned us with a piano solo. Then
came the real fun-dish washing.
Although many had to leave the rest
of the girls started to do the dishes
my how big the pile seemed. Be
fore long this pile was greatly re-
duced as willing hands make light
work. All the girls that helped with
dishes received as their reward a
carnatiOn and a menu.
Besides the girls mothers or
friends we were delighted TO have
Miss Good, one of our State direc-
tors, Mrs. Grier, our adviser last
year, Miss Bowser, who has been
giving the girls the nursing course,
and Mrs. Townsend and her mother,
Mrs. Salevan, as Miss Alden's special
guests.
We sincerely hope that our mo-
hers enjoyed this little dinner as
much as we did preparing it.

If You Want To Get A
Laugh!

The best way l know to get a
good laugh out of your system is
to give Hilda Calhoun a report for
history class. 1t really gives the
class enjoyment to see her get on
the floor to give a report for we all
know what's in store for us. l sup
pose every one knows this loveable
natured girl. She is Junior in M.
II. S. and has auburn hair and
brown eyes. After you once learn
her laugh and her loving ways I'm
sure you'll agree she is a valuable
friend.
Hilda has been a student in our
school since she was in the seventh
grade and since that time she has
made much fun for everyone she
has ever known. Her weakness
seems to be organ playing and U.
S. history; we all sincerely hope
she will master both.

Eighth Grade Girl Writes
OF ChincOteague, Virginia

Chincoteague is an island con-
nected to the mainland only by a
causeway, built across small islands
of marshland. These islands are
connected by bridges, there being six
bridges between the mainland and
Chincoteague Island. This cause
way is about three miles long and
is very narrow. There are certain
places built wider so cars may pass
at these points.
This causeway and connecting
bridges have been built in recent
years. 1t hasn't been so long ago
that the island was not connected to
the mainland and could be reached
by boat only.
The town of Chincoteague is not
very beautiful but is very rich
town for its size. The people get
their living mostly from fishing,
Oystering and hunting wild game,
like ducks and geese. The island is
known as a "Sportsmen's Paradise"
due to the abundance of wild game.
Chincoteague is famous for the
hundreds of ponies raised ON the is
land. These ponies run wild on the
island and once a year during the
summer are rounded up and sold at
auction. This pony auction attracts
thousands of people, for miles
around. If you have never been to
Chincoteague, it would be worth
your while to make the trip, if you
have the chance for, besides seeing
something unusual in the island and
town itself, it is a very beautiful
ride through parts of Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia.

Juniors, Take A Tip!

The Seniors this year have had to

Mr.. McGinnis Scares
Certain Eighth Graders

Last Friday afternoon Section 80
had a study period. During the stu
dy period Mr.. McGinnis called some
pupils out of the room. When they
came back some of them looked
quite mournful. Upon being ques-
toned they said that they had been
told that they had to "brace up" or
they would not pass. Maybe the
marks will go up a little bit after
that. Theodore Townsend
