SIX SIX ES

I acts about it. Then someone
ought in a live clam for them
examine. Before they knew it,
ney were in the shellcollecting
anne in a big way, and had so
any things to display and
tudy that they hardly knew
What to do with them all.
Rozelie
One of the chief problems.
we imagine, the parents OF our
sixth grade campers lace IS
to persuade their children to
write home to them during their
week at River Road Camp. This
problem was solved very pleas
antly for all concerned by the
boys and girls from Miss Vesta
Applegate's room at Rozelle
School, who spent a recent
week out there. They made
their own woodland stationery,
which was so pretty and appro-
pirate that it was no trouble at
all TO write a letter on it.
On special colcred paper, the
boys and girls imprinted real
leaves from the woods, to make
the paper look much like the ex-
pensive stationery that adults
can get at the stores. With these
corner designs of authentic
woodsy origin, the paper became
fun to write home on. Each
child wrote to his parents twice
during their week at camp.
They also have other souve-
Mrs Of their camping expert
ence: a gilded bouquet Of
tessels and burrs - strange
plants to be looking so pretty!
"a terrarium containing gravel,
charcoal, dirt, moss, and grow
ing plants; photographs taken
at camp of their classmates;
many handcraft articles made of
native materials; and other leaf
prints on blue print paper, which
gives a sort of ghostly midnight
background to the So of the
leaves printed on it.
Caledonia
Two children were selected by
lot from Miss Jean Vokoun's
kindergarten at Caledonia
School to take the class's Hal
lowe'en present to the crippled
children at Rainbow Hospital.
The present was a batch Of GIN
gerbread-man cookies, which the
children had made themselves
from a picture book recipe.
1t was fun to make the cook
les. The children made. several
dozen of them. They helped to
mix the dough and cut out the
cookies themselves.
The boy and girl delegates
told their classmates, on their
return from Rainbow Hospital,
about seeing children going to
school there in wheel chairs and
on beds. They were all very
sure then that it was a good
thing for them to have made
the cookies, and they want to do
something else for those chill
dren at another time-perhaps
for Christmas.
The sixth grade children in
Miss Lillian Finnila's room
heard an instructive talk on
Greece by the mother of 4
classmate. The mother, Mrs.
Johnson, grew up in Vienna, but
took the trip to Greece when
she was in the sixth grade. She
told the children that Greece
was now a very poor coun-
try, in spite of its great past
that the boys and girls had read
about; and she told them about
the difficult time that the
Greeks had making a living
from the poor soil.
Sheep and goats make out
fairly well, but cattle cannot be
supported on the land. Many
men fish; some market products
such as olive oil. There is much
disease, and sanitation is poor.
1t seemed all the more remark
able that a country such as this,
which had doubtless had the
same soil and climate centuries
ago, could have produced a civ
ilization that had given so much
in ancient times.
