the children's happy Easter spirit.
The second graders have received
new Readers and work books. The
name Of these are From Day to
Day" This last week they have
been studying the Dutch Children
and their habits, homes, trees, tu-
lips and cheese. They were enter
tanned by a movie on the Dutch
race.
Miss Boehmke's second graders
are studying the Dutch people.
They are making booklets and
posters to illustrate how they work
and play. Last week they finished
their booklets on my Book Of
Farm Animals" Many Of the at
tractive booklets are on display.
The following second graders re-
ceived one hundred in Unit 26 of
Spelling: Arlys Aldous, Patricia
Lloyd, Beverly Neal, Bonnie Nor
ton, Leland Parker, Dean Perry,
Vivian Robbins, Billy Unger, Cliff
ford Walker. and Gloria Weiner.
Miss Hemming's third graders
have been doing wonderful job
of making spring pictures, posters,
room decorations and everything
else that goes with the art of max
ing a room seem like Easter. It is
amazing how interested each and
every student Is to do his or her
part in making it a success. They
have been enjoying their library
reading and are keeping a record
Of the books they have read on a
small bookshelf with paper books
representing the books they have
read. This work is in connection
with their English. The third grad
ers also have been having drills in

The final process Of block printing
will come when they are stamped
on either paper or cloth. The ninth
grade has also been making char
coal drawings, the best Of which
will be on display in Miss Klobe's
room this week.
The eighth grade class has been
designing their own monograms
and making all-over designs with
them.
The seventh grade has been
making bowls and vases of PAPER
mache. They are made out Of lay
ers Of paper into the shape of eth
err a bowl or a vase and then are
either colored or painted into the
desired design. The bowls, when
finished, may be used for fruit or
candy or such.
The third graders have been
drawing and painting pictures
from a model which was made by
Miss Kobe. This model boy is
made of tag board and stands
about four feet high. His arms and
legs have been attached so that he
can be moved into any pose that
the class desires. One third grader
Jacqueline Couch, has been serv-
ing as a model for the ninth grad

ELEMENTARY BUSYBODIES
The Kindergarten children have
made an Easter border on their
bulletin board which includes
various pictures of Easter rabbits
and eggs, etc. Another birthday
was Celebrated in their room last
week. This time it was Helen Sill
ver's. All the children had an en-
| joyable time singing songs and do
| ing many other things in honor OF
the event. Anyone who looked in
their room last Friday could see
that they didn't forget st. Patrick's
Day. They made shamrocks to
wear and read several stories in
memory of that day.
Miss Harris pupils are studying
| about stones in their Science class
Various shaped stones have beer
brought to their room for display
They learned the names of the diff
ferent kinds of rocks. The thine
that seemed most interesting tc
them was that granite could be
/ found quite close to our city-St
Cloud. They have put up a new
border made up Of pictures Of the
| different kinds of flowers which
makes the room look more color
full.
Again the pupils in Miss Sather's
room were entertained with g
movie. Guess what the film was
about this time? 1t was a coloret
| film on our Yellowstone Nationa
Park. The pictures were exception
ally interesting, as were the com
ments on the scenes, by Miss Bone
our school nurse. She has worked
at this park for the last five sum
mers. These films have proved II
be worthwhile and valuable to tn,
children's classwork. The fiftl
graders are now studying abou
famous American leaders. The,
discuss the famous works for which
they are noted. Some of these mel
are: Theodore Roosevelt, Mari
| Twain, Woodrow Wilson. and Lu
Their Burbank. The sixth grader.
are studying about Mohammedan
ism in their history class.

TIRED OF WARS?

We don't know how our readers feel
about it but we get rather tired of reading
so much war news and we dislike writing
editorials about the world situation, but,
nonetheless, the world today is in war
era and the people wonder when it will be-
gin.
Naturally, there is no reason for the
people of Great Britain to fight the people
of Germany, Just because one has what is
called democratic form of government
and the other has dictator. The causes
of possible fighting go deeper than the
forms of government.
Until Germany seized the remnants
of Czechoslovakia, there was the posi-
bility of peace in Europe, but even Neville
Chamberlain became convinced that Hit
Ter was out to dominate Europe, if not the
world, and that, unless England was ready
to be dominated, the Hitler march would
have to be stopped.
The situation in Europe is like an ex-
panding force striking stone wall. Either
the barricade will yield or it will stand
firm. The expanding force will exert ut
most pressure and win or subside. After
wards there will be quiet for while.

TO MY MOTHER

The smile you gave when first l saw the light
Remains the paragon of tender care;
The warmth you threw around me day and night
Still cheers me when I'd otherwise despair
Your gentle voice, your cradle song your prayer
My sweetest memories of yesterday.
Your warning me against temptations snare
Still guides my feet which are inclined to stray.
And still meet again your words shall lead
my why.
Your faultless skill to loose my lisping tongue,
And as | toddled, your assuring hand
Still mean so much to me- and have chung
To that assurance till I understand.
Your mother-love which naught could counter
mand
Has been my inspiration, peace of mind;
Your sacrifice denoting you had planned
My future we'll was proof that you were kind;
I'd somehow tell though / were deaf and dumb
and blind.
Your constant vigil over my sick bed
And your companionship when heart-grief came,
Your deep concern about the life led
Exalt you; put ingratitude to shame.
Your light excuses when was to blame,
And praises for the good that / had shown
Reveal the pride in which you held my name;
II was enough that I was born your own;
Unselfish love yours must ever stand alone.
And so bow in reverence to you
For everything that you have done for me;
Your faithfuness has served to keep me true,
And moulded with the years my destiny.
Throughout my life shall generation be
The bond that links your deathless soul to mine;
And for such sure unfailing constancy,
i shall forever follow your design.
And Mother while live I'll hold you are divine

NEEDS OF KEY WEST

The needs of Key West are admit
tedly many and may be classified under
two heads.
First; the immediate need of caring
for those of us who, through no fault of
their own lack the assurance of food and
clothing and shelter. If only for the sake
of our own security and peace of mind, this
need must be met And it will be. Active
citizens are making progress toward es-
tablishing pay-rolls for those willing to
work. Added to our already sufficient
problems is the tragedy of the sponge
blight. Here is a large section of our hard
est working men; men who have brought
new money by the thousands of dollars in
to the community, suddenly cut off from
their occupation.
If this should result in the scientific
and systematic harvesting of the sponge,
it may prove to be blessing in disguise;
but it will write "finis'' to the free in
dividuality of private enterprise in the
gathering of sponge. This is changing
world.
Second; is the planning for the future
of Key West and the provisions for its de-
velopment into an outstanding residential
city, noted for its municipal and cultural
standards. Of course, this assumes citi-
zenry that will not tolerate local govern
ment that can not think of anything to do
about packs of half-wild dogs making
night hideous as they carry on their
skirmishes up and down our streets. How
hot c OF hot xxyill toll in
our stride rs we progress in civilization.
There are several things of that nature
marked for attention in the near future.
1t is time to start planning for a COM
munity center that will house an art ex-
hibition, provide for convention meetings
and afford a permanent home for the
Chamber of Commerce. If only as an at
traction to the city, this would be a paying
proposition.
1t is by no means an impossibility to
provide such a community center. Sources
of material assistance are available.
There is a well-founded belief that if
anything is wanted badly enough, it's
achievement is only matter of time
time and unremitting desire. The rest
follows.
Let us once envsion a community
center, place where people may assemble
for lectures, concerts, conventions; a place
with high ceilings and ample wall space
for the display of art and historical
treasure, illuminated by sky-lights, sur
rounded by our wonderful tropical flowers
and foliage, and the vision will ma
terialize.
What about location? Consider Mi
ami Only few years ago the cemetery
at Second Avenue and Sixteenth Street
was source of much grumbling because
cit was so far from town.. No place on
this island will be remote five years from
now.
Do we want community center?
How badly do we want it? Those are the
only questions that count.
