East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1958-11-27
Chambers

Six large pages, consisting of
neatly written text and sur
rounding borders of pictures
and cutouts, have been placed
on display on the main office
bulletin board at Chambers
School. The work of Mrs. Edna
Naragon's third grade children,
they tell the story of the Amer
lean Indians in words and Wis
ual symbols.
The children have assembled
a great deal of material about
Indians on these six sheets.
Each one is on a different topic
dealing with the In d dians
Foods" "Homes," Weapons"
"Education," &c a m s." and
Dances" When the written
text mentions wigwams or te-
pees, there are cutout pictures
of wigwams and tepees on the
border of that page nearby;
and so on. Each major point of
information about the Indians
is illustrated with a picture.
The total effect reminds us
Of the Illuminated manuscripts
of the Middle Ages, in which
the monks also illustrated their
story with pictures. The two
kinds of information, words
and pictures, reinforce each
other very we'll.
We also like a neat little set
of Autumn and Winter draw
ings on one of the bulletin
boards in the main hall at
Chambers. Six pictures, show
ing farm and woodland scenes
as the days progress from col
ored leaves to deep snow, have
been drawn to illustrate a verse
of a poem which the young
artists were studying. AS you
follow the pictures from left to
right, you can just feel it get
colder and later in the year;
and the drawings themselves
show a considerable talent and
a feeling for line and color.
Caledonia
Three Thanksgiving pro-
grams were held at Caledonia
School this Wednesday, at $50,
10:30, and 1870, respectively.
Leading off were the combined
morning and afternoon Kinder
gartens, which both attended
school in the morning for this
occasion. After this early pro-
gram the mothers of the Kin
dergarteners went to their
children's rooms with the teach-
ers Miss Jean Vokoun and Mrs.
Sarah Johnston, to see the In
dian tepee and watch the chill
dren's Indian dances.
At 1890 the first, second,
and third grades held their
Thanksgiving program, and the
three upper grades presented
theirs in the afternoon.
Another and more personal
kind of giving thanks was neat
ly and graciously performed not
long ago by the second grade
boys in Miss Wilma Reid's
class. The school had recently
given their room some hand
some pictures Of boys and girls
of other lands, and Miss Reid's
pupils wrote or ra t h e r.
printed - neat "thank you"I
letters to the Principal, M'~s
Bertha Clendenen, for the gift.
Writing is printing in the
second grade, as some of you
know, but there can be neat
and accurate printing and there
can be the other kind too. The
printing in these letters is of
the first kind, every letter just
the right height and in the
right place; and the sentiment |
expressed is also right.
Rozelle
There were also three Thanks
giving programs on Wednesday
at Rozelle School, but some
special arrangements had to be
made to get everything in. For
one thing, the Rozelle Glee
Club, composed of fifth and
sixth graders, had to sing in
he morning, because Music
Supervisor Miss Janis Conklin
had to GO or to other schools
in the system; but the regular
lpper-class program was not to
be held until the afternoon.
This problem was solved by ar
ranging to have the Glee Club
sing for the first and second
