tivities relating to Halloween.
Larry Pierson, Billy Couch and
Katherine Anderson brought pump
kins which were made into Jack
O-Lanterns. They used green pep
pers for its ears. The morning
class drew faces on colored paper
and exhibited them before the af-
ternoon class and the afternoon
class exhibited theirs for the morn
ing class. The object was to see
who could draw the funniest face.
They then chose the one they thot
best. They made masks to wear
to the Community Halloween par
ty. The children take turns in
painting on the easel.
The first grade have their room
decorated with Indian decorations
for book week. They have made
a sand table, which consists of
things brought from home, such as
pottery, canoe, teppee and fire
place. The dolls were brought from
home. In the back Of the room is
an Indian freeze which Is in the
making, by those whose art work
is the best. The first grade had
a contest to see who could make
the best Indian head dresses. Miss
Everhart was the one who chose
the best head dresses. The follow
ing were chosen: Marie Cass, Kath-
crime Verding, Rosetta Anderson,
Donna Mae Arvig, Lola Mae Hint
zen and Richard Blaski. They are
still bordering along with their
reading and numbers. They have
all the chairs painted and also the
table. Their room was not decor
:ated for Halloween. guess they
saw enough Of that in the other
rooms, although they have a large
pumpkin on their corner shelf. We
wonder If they are going to donate
it to the Home Economics group
for their pies.
The third grade pupils are hav-
ing spell downs between two teams
Richard Holbrook's team is ahead.
They are also working on the cor
rect forming Of letters. The stu
dents have started a new unit,
Transportation. They have enlarg-
ed their collection Of Indian ar
ticles considerably. It consists
mostly Of pictures Of their food and
shelter. Every Friday they go in
to the kindergarten room and lis
ten to the piano playing Of Miss
Dybdal.
The fourth graders had a Hal
lowe'en party Thursday afternoon.
The committees for the party were:
refreshments, Bobby Westhoff, Cry
stall Gardner, Charles Jeppeson and
Marguerite Studanski; program
committee, Rose Marie Vennewitz,
Eugene Faulhaber, Buddy Iwinski
and Danny Pangburn. They are
making book week pictures for the
panel in the library this week.
David Tull, a fifth grader, has
brought many interesting things
from Africa to show us at school,
Among them were a Sabra skin, a
pithan skin, monkey skin, Afri-
can baskets, a wooden carved Afri-
can warrior, canes and spears. He
had interesting stories to tell us of
life in Africa, since his parents
were missionaries there for five
years.
Last Thursday we had a Hal
1owe'en party. Everyone dressed
their heads to represent COLLINS,
ghosts and other eerie creatures.
Games were played, and popcorn,
candy and apples were served for
refreshments.
The sixth grade class had a Hal
lowe'en program. They took part
in a play entitled The Five Ghosts
Billy Klemm made a clay model of
a sphinx. Matthew Waida made an
Egyptian shadoof, a device in
which Egyptians raised water from
the Nile River for the irrigation
bitches. Miss Holden tells me the
pupils enjoyed their Halloween par
ty sponsored by the community.
