SCHOOL NEWS

The parents, teachers and
children are so very proud Of the
Phyllis Wheatley Choir. They
feel that the choir under the cap
able direction of Mrs. Mable D.
Thompson, is a credit to the
school and the community.
Fruit, canned foods, and staple
groceries poured into every class
room during the week. Every
year the children from grades one
through six bring food to fill
Thanksgiving baskets for the UNI
fortunate people in the commun-
ity. The children themselves sub
NIT the names of persons in their
immediate neighborhoods who
they know are in need. They also
assist the teachers in planning
what each basket will contain. In
this way the principal and teach
ers feel the children are doing
some active participation in COM
munity as well as learning to
share.
The Junior Red Cross under the
sponsorship of Mrs. J. N. Bur-
roughs and Mrs. M. Henry closed
the membership drive with every
class reporting 100 per cent mem
bership enrolment. The total
amout raised was $32.O3.
Mrs. Minnie Dismucke'S fourth
grade has been studying "The
Origin of Thanksgiving Day"
The study ended with play, en-
titled, "The First Thanksgiving
Day" Pupils who did not take
part in the play made the cos
tunes and stage settings. The
costumes included Pilgrim bon
nets, tall hats, and Indian head
dresses. The stage setting in
cluded a spinning wheel, fire
place, and nurals. The murals
told the story of the first Thanks
giving in three parts: /. The Land
ing of the Pilgrims. 2. The First
Winter, and 8. The Feast.
Since the first grade classes
had been having discussions on
animal life and pets, they planrl-
ed a trip to Tropical Hobbyland.
The children were very thrilled
to see the various monkeys and
others animals.
