Hearty Kids Braue
Weather for School

the East Cleveland schools
This makes less of a difference
to the elementary schools, espe
cially the sixth grades, than i
did when the system had mid
year promotions; but it still i:
report-card time, with all thai
that means to children, parents
and teachers alike.
A major gain over the ole
split-year system is that schooI
activities in which experience
counts-such as Traffic Patrol
Student Council, and similar en-
deavors-od not have to mark
time after the GAS leave and a
new bunch of sixth graders have
to be trained to take over.
Moreover, year long projects
such as Embarrassing, activities
benefit from continued and ex-
perienced leadership, and don't
have to remain suspended until
around Washington's Birthday
or so before regaining steam.
This gain in the effective
ness of eXtra-curricular activ-
tiles is matched by the absence
of the old mid-year wrench in
school change for the GAS NOV
ing up to the junior high school:
travelling farther to school,
when travelling is at its worst,
and finding themselves distinct
ly underdogs in an entirely new
Those days, too,
are gone and are now history;
and we feel that our grade
schools are all the better for
the change.

The bitter weather of last
week, at least, is over. 1t may
be duplicated this winter,
though we hope not; but that
particular stretch of forty-eight
hours is now history, and will
not be repeated.
Through it, our schools re-
mained open, warm, light and
dry, and good deal of learn
ing went on in them. Surpris-
ingly, perhaps, the attendance
on the first and more punish
ing of the two days was a great
deal better than the second;
and we made it through both of
them with no major hurts, but
with a lot of stories to tell.
The most amazing thing was
the residence of the children
themselves. One hears Of the
Prospect Kindergartners at
noontime, in no particular hur-
ry to get home to lunch, play
ing and sliding on the snow
piles adjacent to the school as
if it were only a few degrees
below freezing instead Of being
in the low fifteens; or of the
small Hilltop miss, unconcerned
about missing the Caledonia
bus, skipping around in her
yard waiting for her girl friend
to walk to school with her.
A further look at the bright
er side will remind US that the
snowfall part of it was light;
that the wind, although biting,
diminished as time went on;
that the humidity was relative
ly low, and the sky actually
sunny a large part of the time;
and that it really was a lot bet
ter to have the schools open than
closed. AS one mother re-
marked: We love our homes;
but when nine a. m. comes
around, it's better to have the
kids in school than anywhere
else l know Of"
