WILSON SCHOOL

! The arithmetic classes have COW
cred their regular requirement for
the year so from now on the time
will be spent in reviewing the more
difficult work and working on speed
and accuracy.-Guy Hamilton, Z
B-3.
For the last four or five weeks the
art classes have been working on
the scenery for the operetta. We
make three large drops by pasting
paper strips together. On these
sheets were painted appropriate
scenes for the operetta. We made
palm trees and cherry trees by
building frames and covering them
with strips of paper and painting
| them with calsomine paint. We
certainly learned a good deal from
this experience.
You can hear the eighth grade
pupils around school murmuring to
themselves. You stop to listen to
see if the strain of graduating has
really affected their mindt but out
of the murmuring you gradually
piece together parts of the consti-
tuition. Then you realize that they
must be getting ready to take their
final test on that. Many of them
have been dreading it, but to their
surprise one day they were so in
terested that they forgot to ring
the bell.-Geraldine Lampkin, IA
3.
We feel as though our operetta
was success. The art depart
ment under the guidance of Miss
Shively made the scenery and it
was very well done. Miss Baker IS
folk dancing classes have been
working on dances all year and
from these developed the dances
for it, The music classes with Miss
Redeem direction worked on the
music. Then Miss Stewart direct
ed the libretto. Mrs. zurcher
worked with the mothers on the
costumes. Many thanks to the
mothers as they surely made some
beautiful costumes. All the other
