WILSON SCHOOL

Wednesday the students of East
Side came over and gave us pro-
gram. The seventh and eighth
grades sang songs. The little
children sang a few songs and their
band played "Minuet in Co. We
appreciated it and hope to be able
to give them a program in return.

The children of Wilson school
have started throwing spit wads
again, which Miss Dunlap hopes to
check before something serious has
happened to someone which may
cause them to suffer all their lives.
They also are shooting tinfoil and
paper wads in rubber bands. All
rubber bands are being taken away
from people, we hope that will help
too Miss Dunlap says 1.-THE con-
sequences will be pretty BAD So
it may stop now because she usual
ly means what she says.-Varnell
Knight, IA.
In the IA class we gave nature
study reports. Some of the child
rem gave reports of gorillaS, porcu-
pines and foxes. liked all of them
because they told of their habits
and colors.-Ernesto Lazo, IA.
February is indeed$ glorious
month. Just think, it holds two
birthdays of the two most famous
presidents that the United States
has ever had. Every child knows
we'll the names Of George Wash
ington, the father of this great ma
ton of today, and Abraham Lin
coin. Around this time every his
tory class in the United States
buzzes with the adventures of these
great men who braved all perils to
make ours better nation Con-
sidering this let us think OF Febru-
ary as one of the most important
months in the year. - Rosalind
Thompson, IA.
Yesterday a boy and a girl from
each room went down to The Press
with Mrs. Smith to see how the
paper was made. They get their
news from Los Angeles by type
writers that are run by electricity
They get news from Los Angeles all
day long. They can't put all of the
news in the paper so they pick out
the most important part. Then
they showed us how the paper was
made. One thing that was very
interesting was how they made the
funny papers. Before we left The
Press the man gave us each an eve
ming paper. I'm telling you 1t was
very interesting.-Doris Jones, IA.
About two weeks ago Miss Kemp
thorne, who is the national field
secretary for the Camp Fire girls
of the United States, was in FL
Centre. She came to Wilson school
and told all the girls about Camp
Fire. Before she came down there
were only a few groups. Now there
are several new groups being Or
ganized. over half the girls in
Wilson school are either Camp Fire
girls now or they are joining one of
the new groups. I have been
Camp Fire girl for almost year,
and 1 think it is very interesting

The Lincoln school orchestra is
going to play in a concert named
Hansel and Gretel at the Wilson
school soon. I am in the orchestra
and we practice three times a
week. We are trying very hard so
we hope to make success. Evelyn

Our boys have organized base
ball team which plays with the
Eastside boys. The girls thought
they would not let the boys beat
them so they are going to organize
a team to play the Eastside girls.
The boys played last week and they
are going to play again tomorrow.

Lately our class has been giving
book reports for English. We have
found them very interesting. Re-
ports have been given on books
which are so exciting that the
whole class wants to read them.
Most of the pupils tell a part OF
the story and stop in the most in
teresting place. When the teacher
brings the book from the library
there is a race for it. This helps
to increase our interest in books
