AT GAR7OIuuy SIOup IIlct dl lie
school Monday evening. Subject for
discussion was New Viewpoints on
Discipline" by Dorothy Baruch, read
by Mrs. Harrington. Everyone parti-
cipated in the discussion that follow
ed.
Mrs. Greenwalt and Mrs. Grist
sewed up the end of the tumbling
mat. We think it is a good idea to
bring our sewing and mending.
Cake and coffee were served by
the hostesses, Dorothy Brewster and
Leona Harrington.
MOUSE IN MAT
We haven't used the tumbling mat
for some time as we have been twirl-
ing and dancing Friday we decided
to tumble. When we rolled out the
mat we were surprised to find that
a little mouse had taken food into
the side Of the tumbling mat and
lived there for a. little bit. We were
glad he didn't chew our mat.
It is the first time we ever had a
mouse in the schoolhouse that we
know of. Gloria thought she saw
something run across the floor a
little while back. The little mouse
must have walked in when the door
was open and stayed day or two
and then slipped out again.
Two little squirrels live near the
school. When crumbs were thrown
out, one squirrel tried to get them
all and he chased the other squirrel
up trees from tree to tree and then
sat on limb and whipped his tail
back and forth and angrily scolded.
While he was doing all this couple
Of blue jays came and started to eat.
The squirrel dashed down to chase
them off. And even the little chicka-
dees were chased off by the busy
squirrel. We think maybe there was
a lesson in this, because the one
squirrel was so busy running things
off that he didn't get much to eat
There really would have been en-.
ough for all of them if the squirrel
hadn't been so selfish.
| FIND COCOON
i One day when we were sweeping
we found a cocoon down on the base
board about four inches above the
floor. We don't know how it 90,
there. We sweep very carefully SC
we don't disturb it. Today there was
a butterfly on the wall near the cell
ing. We have a lot of jars with CO
coons so it probably came from one
of them.
my Grandma, Mrs. Dyre, Eas
Glacier, is here for a while. We ar,
glad to see her. She came Monda,
