everybody four months later

ones added. enabling the area
to accompodate 1900 persons.
The present administration

white glazed tile. 1t is still
called by many "the power
plant"
A huge and bright dining
room, able to handle 1900 per-
sons, was completed only last
year and plans are being made
for a new chapel.
Cathedral in the Glen
Not far from the Rogers
Williams Inn is Robert L.
Moore, jr., Vesper Circle and
the Cathedral in the Glen. The
former is a memorial to young
member of First Baptist
Church, Los Angeles, who was
killed in the Philippines dur
ing World War II. The latter is
a duplicate of Hopevale, also

the circle and the cathedral
are trees standing clear against
the green water, and before it

executive director of the Amer
lean Baptist Assembly, has
about 400 persons on his staff

The summer staff is divided
into four groups. One group
consists so college boys and
girls who comes from As COL

mainly serve in the dining room
and snack bar.
About 80 college graduates,
many of them now seminary
students, serve on the young
adult staff. They act as life
guards, bell boys, secretarialI
help and in similar positions.
Local People Enlisted
The adult staff, 35 years and
over, of 125 is made up of
school teachers, retired per-
sons and widows. They do
various jobs around the
grounds.
And finally about 80 local
people are enlisted during the
busy season to serve as house
keepers, cooks, gardeners and
SO on.
The first year the American
Baptist Assembly opened, 5000
persons came. Last year more
than 10000 people attended
178 conferences, and so far
1858 is running ahead of 1857. |

Current Events
Each week our class discusses
the news of our nation and the
world. This month we have talked
about Congress, the law-making
body of our United States. 1t is in
session now in Washington, ID. G..
We think talking and studying
about it is interesting. Now we will
tell you something about what we
have learned.
The first session of the COntinen-
| Congress was held in Philadelphia
on September 5, 1774.
The Congress of the United States
consists of a Senate and a House
of Representatives Both are elected
by the voters of each state. There
are SO members of the Senate, two
from each state. Each Senator must
be at least thirty years old. He is
elected to serve a six-year term.
There are 435 representatives
and they are elected for a two
year term. Delaware sends two
senators and one representative
The Senators are John ]. Williams
and j. Allen Frear, Jr. Our repre-
sentative is Harry G. Haskell, Jr.
The Congress has power to do
many things such as collect taxes,
| to declare war, to borrow money
| to support armies, and to admit
new states. Congress usually be-
gins on the third day of January
of each year, but this date may be
changed. This year Congress con-
vened on January 6.
The House of Representatives is
made up of members elected by the
voters of the several states. Each
state is entitled to at least one
representative. Mr.. Sam Rayburn,
of Texas, has been Speaker of the
House of Representatives over 13
years.
We hope to learn more about
Congress and it's work this year.

US to the gymnasium. There we

to play basketball. Our gym tea
cher Miss Rissmiller has taught us
how to do the chest pass and the
bounce pass also the one hand un-
derhand pass. We also learned an
exercise called the weave.
The chest pass is done by hold
ing the ball with your fingers
spread around the ball bringing the
ball up to your chest and then
pushing it toward the basket or the
man you are passing to.

Our Imaginary Trip Through
New England
A group of us imagined that we
were in New England. We saw
many interesting things.
In Boston, Massachusetts, we saw
Old North Church where two Ian
terms were hung to show. Paul
Revere the British were coming by
sea-
We also went too Boston harbor
to see "Old Ironsides''. 1t is noted
for its outstanding battle perform
ance. Old Ironsides' real name is
the u. S. S. Constitution.
We also went to see Plymouth
Rock which is said to be the step
ping stone to new life for the Pill
grims. 1t is in Plymouth, Massa-
chusetts
In Massachusetts we went
through shoe factory. 1t proved to
be very interesting. Later we went
out on Cape Cod. There we saw
cranberries growing in the swampy
area.
AS we went through New Hamp-
shire we saw the lovely White
Mountains. We also saw many
summer resorts.
In Vermont we saw marble and
granite quarries. Vermont is also
noted for its maple sugar and it's
winter sports. AS we were riding
along we saw the beautiful Green
Mountains.
We visited Maine. the potato
capitol of the United States. Maine
is sometimes called the pine Tree
State.
Our group hopes sometime we
will really be able to visit New
England.

Savings Stamps
We are proud to say that so
many girls and boys in our Lake
view Elementary School are buy
ing United States Savings Stamps
Last week we had 35.596 of our
total enrolment buying. Since we
began on October 8th, we have sold
27,SS5 stamps totaling $2,788.50.
We made big graph called a
bar graph TO show the percentage
of our total enrolment buying
stamps and put it on the first floor
where everyone can see it,. The first
week, October 8th, was the highest
with 44.79o. We hope we can get up
to that again soon. The percentage
of pupils buying stamps this school
year is 1850.
In our room we have made a
little graph and put it on our class
room bulletin board This is to
show the percentage of boys and
girls in our room buying stamps
The highest week we had in our
room was on December 3, 1857
Everyone bought but one. The per-
centage was $500.
Early in January two new boys
came to us. Their names are Ken
Sawyer and Robert Curtis. Ken is
from Elizabeth City. North Caro-
lima, and Robert is from Milton,
Delaware. They are learning to
help us with our Stamp Day pro-
gram. They, too, are learning to
save by buying United States Saw
ings Stamps.
We would like for each one to
remember that Tuesday of each
week is Stamp Day.

The weave starts with three
players standing in straight line
then the middle person passes t.iv
bal to one of the players. Then he
runs behind the player he threw it
to. This is repeated over and over
again until the players get close to
the basket then one player throws
the ball for a basket. If he misses
the others try for a rebound!
We have learned many other
