just who would sing. Phyllis Walls
was chosen as our announcer.
We selected the following songs
and a dance:
We're All Together Again = A
Greeting Song sung by the girls.
Wait for the Wagon-Sung by
boys and girls.
Coin to Leave or Texas-Sung
/ by boys and girls in two parts.
Drill, Ye Terriers-A railroad
song sung by the boys.
Leven-Cent Cotton and Forty
Cent Meat-Sung by everyone with
the audience.
Coin to Ride Up In the Chariot
"A solo by David McClung.
Cindy-Sung by the class.
Sweet Betsy from Pike-Sung by
the girls.
Pat-A-Cake Polka-A dance ex
ecuted by the class.
The costumes would have to be
simple. We decided that the girls
should wear full skirts with lot
of color, and the boys should wear
colorful shirts and patches on
their pants. Some of the boys
would wear holsters and guns and
cowboy hats.
Mrs. Briggs, our librarian, was
consulted on ideas for a back
ground She helped us to find
books with pictures of barns and
animals found on a farm. We Sc
lected the pictures that we want
ed and set up the Opaque project
or to enlarge them. We outlined
each enlarged picture on huge
sheets of paper obtained from the
art teacher, Mr.. Bassols. Next. we
placed the outlined pictures on
the floor and committees were
formed to select the proper col
ors, and to paint.
After the paint dried, there was
the big chore of cutting out each
piece and placing it on the stage.
Mr.. Bassols helped us to arrange
the scenery: red barn, pig,
duck, COW, mule, dog. rooster, two
swallows, hay, burlap bags, and
a saddle. Eddie Anderson brought
in two bales of hay and two burlap
bags, which we filled with paper
to look as though they were filled
with grain. David King brought
in the saddle. Several boys and
girls stayed after school to help.
The program was given twice
once in the morning to the chill
dren of the upper wing and our
parents, and in the afternoon to
the children of the primary wing.
We received many letters from
the primary wing telling us that
they enjoyed the program. The
upper wing sent representatives to
express their enjoyment. We are
glad that they enjoyed our pro-
gram and we thank Miss Artz for
accompanying us on the piano.
Kent County Elementary

a dance The Pat-A-Cake Polka.
We travelled to Dover on school,
bus with the boys and girls of
the Lakeview School They sang
three songs: My Lord, What A
Morning, Deaf Woman's Court
ship, and Shenandoah. We wish
