School is almost out. We are
irying very hard to complete our
work for the year, We began mul
tiplying this week. It is a lot of
fun. We think it is easier than
adding and subtracting..
We have had so many lovely
flowers this week. Our room
looks much nicer when we have
flowers on each table.
Miss Williamson’s Class
Monday was “I am an Ameri
can. Day.” We are proud to be
Americans. This is what we wrote
about our country:
. I Believe in America.
T believe in what I can see
with my eyes; the hills that are
green in the spring and brown
in the fall, the brook I fish in,
the sun that gets up with me in
‘the morning and the night I see
from my bed.
I believe in what I can feel
with my hands; the walls of the
house that shelter me, the thick
fur on my pup’s neck the
googie mud between my toes, the
soft skin of my mother’s face. |
I believe in what I hear withl
my ears; the crack of the fire
when 1 cook out of doors, the
shouts when we play, the whirr
of the plane that goes over my
‘head every day, the music I hear
and the songs we sing. ‘
I believe in the people I know;
my mother and father because
they are wonderful and because
they love me, my teacher because
she makes school fun, my friends
because they are not sissies, my
doctor _because he laughs g lot
and only hurts when he has to.
I believe in America because I
was born here. I am happy here;
when I g:et big I can be a pilot
or a fireman; I can build the
biggest bridge in the world if I
want to;lcanbe the captain of
a ship. I'll be as big as anybody
else when I grow up in America—
I like it here,
Mrs. Ruark’s Class
Eugene Alewine had a birth
day party at school Wednesday.
Lis mother and aunt brougnt us

We have left China and are now
visiting Erik and Inger in Nerway.
This country is a land of five
F’s. These five F’s stand for fjords,
falls, forests, farms and fish. We‘\
want to learn all we can about
this beautiful country. .Mrs.
Ruark is reading “The Norwegian
Twins” to us, g
" In arithmetic we have been re
viewing our multiplication and
division. Nine people had perfect
papers on an arithmetic check
up test on Wednesday. We like
to play arithmetic games. We have
had an arithmetic relay this
week and sometimes wg Dplay
baseball using flash cards. '

vegetables and fruits for the sail

Gold and diamonds were dis
covered in Africa. Many mines
are worked now. Diamonds are
found in volcano craters. They
are formed hy intense heat and
pressure.
We are working hard to finish
our work by next week. We will
be happy to have a vacation. We

cheese such as Camembert or
Bel Paese, and crisp crackers.

Williams, and Linda Epps got
several votes. Bobby Calley,
Venese Hilliard and Aubrey Pitt
man got some votes, too.
Mr. and Mrs. Brooks invited

for the ice cream.

time at the party given us by

came back to school we wrote
Mrs. Escoe a “Thank You” note.
It was especially interesting to
see ' the pictures on “Care of
Pets” and ‘“Animals of the For
est,” this week after having read
stories of these animals earlier
in the year. Animals make much
nicer pets if they are well car
ed for.
We saw a picture last week on
“Safety.” This is in line with
our present study of safety
which makes it very nice. We
had class discussion and talks on
“Safety.” Following these: we
made “Safety First” posters and
write a story on Safety.

and interesting.

!finishing the work cutlined for
the year. -, R
We have discovered our weak
est points and are working on
them every day.
We had a good music lesson
Monday and enjoyed it very
much. We sang many songs we
had learned during the year,
having a regular review.
We had a very nice picture,
too, on the care of pets. It wys
very helpful to us.

clean. Al]l papers written in this
way will be placed on our bul
letin board at regular intervals
for inspection.

round faces.
After we talked about people

Miss Clark’s Class |
Our Trip To Liberty Hall '
Saturday, May 15, 1948, Miss|
Clark’s Sixth Grade went to |
visit the home of Alexander H. !
Stephens, in Cranordville,l
Georgia.
At eight-thirty everybody met |
at Chase Street school. I went in
the car with Miss Clark, Mary,
Patsy, Gloria, Rhonelda, and
Sue W., with Mrs. Williams driv
ing. We had fun on the way |
playing games and singing.
When we got there we parked I
at the church and the girls went '
to the nearby school play-'
ground. |
When all of us arrived we:
went to “Liberty Hall,” the |
home of Stephens. There we |
were met by Miss Gunn, the !
hostess. She told us a brief hie- |
tory of Stephens’ life. ‘ I
He was born 1812, about two
and a half miles from Liberty
Hall on his father’s farm. His
mother died when he was a
month old. When he was twelve '
his father and step-mother died
within a week’s time. [
He went to live with an uncle |
in Washington, Georgia. There,
the Presbyterians hoped to make
a minister of him. They gave
him the money to go to college. |
He soon realized he wasn’t to be
a minister, so studied law, and
later repaid the money. |
Stephens never weighed over
a hundred pounds and was not
married. He died in 1883. !
He vas devoted to his half- |
brothe: Linton Stephens so
much that a room in his house
is named for him. In'the house
there is still his hat and sword.
The first gas lamp ever used in
Georgia is in his room. Any |
tramp that wanted to stay there
was heartily welcomed. I
In the servant’s house there
was a letter from Alexander H.
Stephens to Linton Stepherss,
giving permission for two of his
slaves to marry. He said for them
to have a decent wedding. !
~ We saw a wash-house, a well,
and the favorite dog’s grave.
After that we went to the
park and went swimming. Then
we danced and ate lunch. We
played and danced more for
apout a hour. Then we went
back in swimming. We left there
absut four o’clock arriving home
about six o”clock, after a very
pleasant day.

Junior Hi Pupils
Taking Final Tests
: The students of Junior High
School are busy making last
minute efforts on all studies this
week. Some of the teachers are
giving final tests which cover the
entire year’s work, and that
brings on a lot of review. The
math, students in Miss Kimbor
oughs classes stood a thirty-prob
tem test. Anyone passing this test
will make a good candidate for
eighth grade.
We are enjoying the seven pe
riod days because the entire stu
dent body and teachers go out on
the playground in the middle of
the day to see two of the physical
education classes play off a soft
ball tournament. The weather
man has been with us on this
schedule so far,
The girls in the homemaking
classes are making pies and cakes.
Mrs. Mercer first gave a demon
stration lesson, and each class
has made a pie and some cup
cakes. The home making classes
have given the girls 3 lot of fun
as well as starting them off on
a real program of practical
knowledge, Many girls have elec
ted to continue the work in the
eighth grade. |
The science classes were very
interested to see in last Sunday’s
paper, the announcement of the
engegement of Miss Carolyn John
son, who is to be married in
June. Best of all was the newsi
that Miss Johmson would con.
tinue to teach in Junior High.
Enjoy Films
All of the classes are enjoying
the films that are sent to the
school from the department of
Education in Atlanta. The new
projector is fine and several boys
have learned to operate it. This
