Has Busy Week
Mrs. McCoy’s Class
- We have been reading many in
teresting things in our Weekly
Reader. We read about the new
Congress in Washington and saw
a picture of the room in which the
House of Representatives and the
Senators meet when in session.
This is the 81st Congress and they
have a lot of work to do.
We have learned that we have
96 Senators and 435 representa
tives. The state of New York has
the most representatives—4s in
number bécause the representa
tives are elected according to the
population of their state, The new
representatives are called ‘“fresh
men” and most of them in the
81st Congress are Democrats. The
Senate has 54 Democrats and 42
Representatives. The representa
tives have 263 Democrats and 120
Republicans. 1t is a big job to car
ry out all their pledges and re
sponsibilities. We heard the Pres
ident’s *speech at school over the
radio and enjoyed it very much.
We saw several motion pictures
last week showing some of the
things we had been studying
about. One we especially enjoyed
was a picture of the Ancient
World we had been studying in
our social studies.
In English and spelling we .are
continuing our study of the diacri
tial marks, division of words into
sylables, accent and pronuncia
tion.
In arithmetic we are reviewing
multiplication of fractions and
cancellation.
In music we have had chorus
singing in 'two parts and have
learned several new songs. We
played a game in music last
Tuesday. Some of our boys and
girls are taking lessons on the
tonet. We hope to have a band
some time.
Our playground is bein leveled
off and fixed so that we will have
a better place to play. We enpoy
our out-door games very much
and we have a very good ball
team. We are looking forward to
more and better games when our
play-ground is finished. \
JAMIE RUTH WARD,
Sixth Grade.
Miss Wallace’s Class
This has been a very busy week.
There seems to be more an%’more
to do each day, but we hatve en
joyed the work even though we
have worked hard.
..We have_enjaoyed several good
pictures this week. In connection
with our science work, we had a
good uicture on “Bees.” We also
enjeyed two geographical pictures
on “ Beautiful Switzerland” and
the other “Alaska,” “Everyday
Courtesy” was especially good.
Everyone is trying hard to im
prove his reading. We not only
want to be able to recognize words
and read with expression, but we
want to understand what we read.
Our library period was more in
teresting this week than usual for
we had some new and interesting
books to read. Some interesting
reports are being made one these
books.
' Classes for preband work have
begun. There are fifty-three stu
'dents in our school taking the
‘training. Our beginning work is
with the “Song Flute.” Mrs. Kee
ner and Miss Wallace are teaching:
‘one section and Miss Hancock and
Mrs. Saye are teaching another.
We think we will like this work.
The boys were very happy on
Monday when Mr. Bill Hardin, a
student at the University came to
coach them in athletics. We will
be happier still when our new
play gruond is ready. The grad
ing has been started and we are
very proud. Whiobsn s
| Mrs. Hopper's Class
.~ We have been having lots of
arithmetic this week. We hope to
be having fractions soon.
In social studies we are study
ing Georgia. We are studying the
prominent people of Georgia. We
studied John and Charles Wesley.
We looked up Charles Wesley's
'songs and some of us found more
than thirty-five. We know that
Georgia’s birthday is February 12.
We saw three pictures this
week. They were ‘“Beautiful
Ewitzerland,” “Alaska,” and “The
Bees.”
. Switzerland has many moun
tains. It snows there very much.
In the picture “Alaska’ we
learn that the principal industries
are lumbering, fishing, farming,
mining, canning and shipping.
We made an outline of the indus
tries when we came back from
seeing the picture.
We learned many interesting
things about bees. The following
story was written by a member of
our class.
The Bees
The bees are interesting insects
They live in hives. They go to
flowers and get nectar and pol
len. The pollen gets in baskets on
the bee’s legs. Then they empty
it into cells in the hive.
The queen bee is the mother of
the hive. She lays eggs to hatch.

The workers do the work of the
hive. When new workers are born,
they set to work cleaning out the
ce}ls they just come out of.
There are many drones in the
hives. They do not work.
The hive will not melt till it is
140 degrees.
Soon it is time for a new queen.
Several are hatched. They must
fight till there is only one queen
left to rule the hive. The old
Pueen and about three fourths of
the hive go to Idook for a new
home.
+ The new queen starts to lay
eggs to replenish the hive. When
the new queen’s eggs hatch there
are more workers in the hives.

J Mount Vesuvius ‘
Mount Vesuvius is a special
ikmd of mountain called a volca-‘
{no. An opening in the top of
i Mount Vesvius extends far down‘
imto the earth. The inside of the
tearth is very hot. Smoke and
sometimes even flames come out‘
;of the opening. Now and then
,there is an explosion inside the
‘mountain called eruption. When
,there is an eruption, dust and
i stones are thrown out on the top.
| The dust settles on the land near
by and makes a very rich soil
{ for growing crops. k
{ PATSY HAWKINS,
Courtesy g
We saw a movie called Every
!day Courtesy.” It showed many
ways in which we can be courte~
ous. Children made posturds
showing ways to be courteous.‘
Some of the children posed while
others drew their pictures. A girl
!'dropped a book and asked the boy
to please pick it up. Another
drawing showed a boy taking a
piece of candy and saying thank
| you. A girl introduced a boy to
another boy. A boy’s mother same
to visit. The boy introduced her
to his teacher. The pictures also
;told that older people are to be
introduced first and children
last. We learned many ways of
i being courteous from this movie.
LOUISE WARD.
Mrs. Thurman’s Class
We are so sorry that Ola Chris
topher was burned so badly just
’before Christmas. We are hoping
that she can soon be comforta
ble and before very long come
back to our class.
We also missed Tommy Morris
land Hazel Seagraves when they
had chicken pox. We do hope that
Peggy and Sara will be back soon.
We miss each one so much.
We have a new boy in our
|room named Alex Beavers. We
'are glad to have him. We surely
did hate for Daniel and Glenn to
|leave us and hope they will soon
join our class again.
Last week we enjoyed several
movies. We saw such good pic
|tures; one on good manners, one
(on Switzerland, and another on
| Alaska, and a long one about
‘ Bees.
Thirteen of our boys and girls
!started practice on the “tonts”
jor song flutes last week. They
. seemed to enjoy the work very
{much. Miss Hancock and. Mrs.
| Saye are helping them.
Miss Ellice Woods’ Class
We have learned this poem. We
jare trying to improve our con
i duct.
1
When we must pass were peo
ple are |
Be sure to go behind,
To push or shove your way in
front
Is very rude I find. |
2
But if you have to pass in front
Do not forget to say |
“Beg your pardon” or ‘“excuse
me, please.”
In your polite;t way.
To gobble food is very wrong
It looks just like a pig, :
What would folks think if you !
act so {
Some day when you are big?
Mrs. Saye’s Class
The boys in our room are very
proud of their “coach.” Mr. Har
din, from the University comes
each day to teach them games.
This week he taught them to bat
a soft ball.
We are so sorry Jack Rhodes
has the mumps. We hope he will
get well soon.
Lacretia Vinson brought some
flowers for our room. They made
our room look like Spring.
Kindergarten
We are singing the mnursey
rhymes and are dramatizing some
of them. We take turns being the
actors. We have already drama
tized “Little Boy Blue, “Little
Miss Muffett,” “Jack Be nimble”
and “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.”
We all like the Mother Goose
rhyme “The Old Woman who Liv
ed in a Shoe,” so we made her
house. We just made a big shoe,
then we put a door and several
windows in it. Next we made the
children. There were so many of
them we had to put them every-.
where. Some looked out of the
‘door and windows and others
’played in the yard.
It is fun to play singing games.
Among the favorites are “Take a
Little Run About,” “My Pony
Can Gallop,”” “Step-Step to the
Music Now,” and “The Farmer in
the Dell.” ]
Our attendance for this time of
the year has been grand. Tuesday
we had perfect attendance. We,j
like to have good attendance.
POULTRY CARE
Yoy keep tapeworms out of your
flock, keep down flies when the
chicks are young. Flies carry the
| eges of tapeworms. Grasshoppers,
I ecarthworms, crickets and other in=
sects also carry these eggs, .. |

the white ones stay up, but if a
single one has dirty hands the
black ones go up.
We made some clocks and as
each one learns how to tell time
well he gets to take his home.
several in our class got excellent
slips Friday and several got white
slips which said we should do
better.
Mrs. Matthews Room
We are all so happy to have
Miss Rose Mills as an apprentice

We brought our dolls and toys
to school one day, and were given
ribbons for the largest, smallest,
prettiest, most like real baby
dolls, prettiest dress, pretties cap,
most like a real girl and most use-~
