SIX SKIES
Caledonia

The map is up at Caledonia.
A large Vacation Map of the
United States has been posted
in the hall, and the children
have shown on it where they
went during their Spring vaca-
ton.
Pastel-colored outlines of the
separate states have been at
tached around the borders of
the large map; colored ribbons
of the same colors are stretched
from these states to their cor
rect position on the large map,
and in the outlines around the
border are posted names of the
Caledonia children who visited
there. In addition, souvenirs and
mementoes have been put on
display nearby in a showcase.
Some of the most interesting
items in this collection came
from such far-away places as
Guatemala, Mexico and Ari-
zona.
Seventeen children went to
Florida. They saw old forts and
Searama underwater displays
of live fish and many other
things in that state. Thirteen
visited in New York, eleven in
Pennsylvania, and others in
many other states of the coun-
try.
AS study in geography and
the social sciences, this large
map and it's accompanying ex-
hibits give the boys and girls
great deal of information in
comparatively compact space.
MAYFAIR
Eight thousand school chill
dren from the Greater Cleve-
land area gathered at Sever
ance Hall just week ago, to
hear a children's concert pre-
sented by III e Cleveland Or
chestra under Conductor Louis
Lane. Among them were two
busloads of boys and girls from
tn upper grades at Mayfair
School.
The Mayfair children were
assigned seats in the balcony
of the beautiful auditorium,
and enjoyed the musical num-
bers presented by the orches-
ira. They had heard the pieces
played on records at school be-
fore they went; they had stu
died the facts about the diff
ferent XII n d S of instruments
making up an orchestra, and
had read about the composers
of the numbers they heard; so
their appreciation of the actual
performance was all the great
er.
After the music was over,
the boys and girls found that
they had a little more time be-
fore returning to school, so they
went for a walk around the
Wade Park lagoon across the
boulevard from Severance Hall. |
They saw ducks, fish h, an d
swans there. One girl comment
ed on the fact that one of the
pieces the orchestra had played
was entitled "Swan Lake." and
here was a real one.
Upon their return to school,
the children wrote essays about
their experiences at the con-
cert. Many of them gave credit
for the smooth handling Of the
large number of Mayfair chill
dren to their teachers, who
were Miss Evone Anderson,
Mrs. Louise Crawford, M iss
Nancy Kirby, and Mrs. Dorothy
McCabe.
ROZELLE
First, the best news at Ro-
zelle School is that Principal
John Jirus is back on the job.
For several weeks the word
was "His back" Now it is "He's
back" (This is not a very good
joke.)
Two classrooms at Rozelle
have been studying foods and
nutrition. The children in Mrs.
Jean Gums fifth grade have
worked out a display Of Vita
min Groups Of foods, in which
various fruits, vegetables, and
packages-empty milk cartons
and cereal boxes, for instance
are grouped according to the
vitamins which these foods sup
ply to the body. This assembly,
we'll labeled and arranged, has
been set up in the schools tro-
ply case in the main hall.
Upstairs, Mrs. Marjorie
Dion's fourth graders h a v e
made a large chart or wheel of
the Basic Seven foods, which
every person should have every
day. 1t will do no harm, and
may do some good, to list these
for the benefit Of our adult
readers, because our children
often know more about these
things than we do. All together,
now:
Butter or oleo; meat, fish or
poultry for energy; milk; flour
or cereals Including bread un-
der flour; green and yellow
vegetables; citrus fruits f r
protection; and other vegetables
and fruits.
And plenty of water, and go
