one very tense scien occurs
when a huge turtle almost
catches a baby ruck.
The second grade pupils OF

RozeIle
The news of illness at Rozelle
has been too heavy lately. The
Principal, Mr.. John Jirus, has
been out with a bad back for
some time, and everyone is hop
ing he will return soon. Sixth
grade teacher Miss Vesta Apple
gate was also ill, but is now back
in school. During Miss Aplegate's
absence, her place was taken by
Mrs. Margaret Harris.
However, there is rosy lining
20 this cloud. Mrs. Harris has
stayed on at Rozelle to teach a
lewly-formed second grade room,
treated from the two original
arge groups of second graders.
All are glad to welcome Mrs.
Harris as a regular Rozelle
eacher.

Harris showed them how to
make block prints and wallpaper
patterns of unusually colorful
md attractive designs. Diamonds,
liagonals, squares and other geo.

rawlings of people, animals,
ockets, covered wagons, and
ven snakes to form interesting

The boys and girls talked over
vhat they had seen while they
we're returning to Chambers on
he bus, and later they wrote
ssays describing their Planeta-

f time during the make-believe
eriod of darkness, and the
arkness itself, seemed to be a
tartling contrast to their real
