Our newspaper story ‘was about
maple sirup. This is the story:
The boy makes a hole in the
tree. It is @ maple tree. Sap drips
from the tree. The children watch
the sap. The pail is full of sap.
The boys carry the pails indoors.
The girls boil the sap. The girls
make maple Sirup.s

We had a lovely Valentine par
tv last Monday during our play
period. We had games on the
vard. Then Mrs. Scott, Thelma
Jean’s mother, brought over ice
cream cups and delicious heart
chaped cakes iced in white. We
enjoyed the good ice cream and
cake. We wrote notes to Mrs.
Seott and thanked' her for the
lovely surprise.
Last week all of us did well in
our spelling. On Friday we had
our test and most of us got 100.
We are glad that David Patman
and Sandra Tuck are well again.
Mrs. Thurman’s Class
Monday we had a Valentine and
hirthday party in our room. We
had so many pretty valentines
cent to each of us. After we re
ceived our valentines we had ice
cream and cookies.
We have nine boys and girls
who have birthdays this month.
Also, the birthday %month of two
great Americans—Abraham Lin
coln and George Washington.
Tuesday we enjoyed having
Msis Anita Blair and her dog,
Fawn, visit in our school.
We saw such interesting pic
tures last week. We especially
liked the film about animals in
the woods. We saw the beavers
at work, the rabbits in the woods,
the chipmonks, the mother skunk
and her babies. ¢
We've been so happy this week.
All our pupils were preesnt every
day and last Monday Ola was able
to come and stay a while. Wed
nesday we had another little visi
tor whose name is -Virginia. We
like them both so much.
Kindergarten
Valentines had the right of way
on Monday. We played postoffice
and mailed and delivered our Val
entines. We had far refreshments,
ice-cream, heart-shaped cookies
and red lolly-pops.
Tuesday Miss Anita Blair came
o our school with her seeing-eye
dog. She talked to us about safe
ty in traffic.
We saw a moving picture of the
“Common Animals of the Woods.”
Many of the animals are in our
pretty colored story books. It
was fun to see how they live and
move around.
Wednesday Doris Stephens told
us a pretty story about a little
girl who wante dto be a princess.
We saw several birds feeding
near one of our windows, one was
a pretty red bird. They come for
berries which grow on the many
shrubs. We made a feeding sta
tion for these birds so they could
have other foods.
Learn to say this verse with us.
“I have a feeding station—
It's really just a shelf—
Where a little bird in. winter
Can come and feed himself.
Vs ‘just outside my window
Azainst the window sill, )
Where any little hzngry bird
May come and eat his fill.
'm glad that I can share with
them i
Many little erumbs of bread.
My heart feels warm, safe, and
glad
When little birds are fed.”
Miss Wallace’s Class ®
On Monday we had an enjoya
ble Valentine party, After a few
contests and the delivering of
Valentines we enjoyed refresh-
Ments. Anne Strickland helped
with refreshments.
Our program for Tuesday placed
Special emphasis on “Safety.” Pre_-
ceding Miss Anita Blair’s visit
With us we saw a picture on “Safe-
Y.” This picture was made from
actual experiences of Miss Blair.
When Miss Blair came she
brough with her Fawn. Fawn is
Miss Blair's Seeing Eye | Dog.
Fawn has been with her six years.
Miss Blair had Fawn do some
tricks to show us how the dog
Belps care for her, She also told
Us how she cares for Fawn. %
We have begun the study of
fractiong and find it very in
wersting. 1t s easier to divide

We were pleased, last Tuesday
to have Miss Anita Blair to come
to 'see us and talk about “Safety.”
With her she brought her “See
ing Eye Dog,” Fawn. Before Miss
Blair came, we saw a picture
about “A Day With Fawn? The
picture showed the many times
Miss Blair had been protected
from danger by Fawn. '
After lunch last Monday Mrs.
Thompson and Mrs. James gave
us a lovely Valentine Party in
our school library. It was quite
a surprise. Every one enjoyed it
very much' and appreciated this
kindness of two of our grade
mothers. For one of our lon
guage lessons, we wrote “thank
you” notes to each of these moth
ers, thanking them for such a nice
time.
Some of the members of our
group have not been drinking all
of their milk at lunch. In health,
we have made a special study of
milk, We wrote nice papers in ink
for our folders. We were interest
ed to find that milk is our most
nearly perfect food.
We have really enjoyed our
study of “The War Between the
States.” We have learnéd many
things about the North and South.
We enjoyed comparing these twol
sections, Ws wrgle stories in
poem form about the “Old South,”
describing their habits and cus
toms of living, homes, slaves,
schools, travel, sports, amuse
ments, etc. .
We are working ffractions in
arithmetic. We are enjoying
them. We think they are much
easier than long division. We are
keeping our graphs in work-book.
We watch our graphs to see if we
are making progress.
The Class
Mrs. McCoy’s Class
In our English we have been
studying the subject and predicate
in simple form and also in com
plete and compound forms. We
did very well on our check-up for
the week—we had few errors. |
In spelling we have been build
ing words. We learned that there
are three elements, or parts, in
building words: base, prefix, and
suffix. The base is the main part
from which the new word grows.
‘We learned that a prefix is the
part placed before the base to
’change its meaning and a suffix
is placed after the base for the
same reason. We looked up some
words in the dictionary and stu
died the syllables and the phone
tic spelling and wrote them in al
phabetical order.
In arithmetic we have been

T's something, really, you almost
I have to sample firsthand, for
yourself.
For the plain fact is, there’s only
one Dynaflow—only one car in all
America with a drive so completely
and utterly smooth, so entirely un
broken in stride from standstill to
cruising speed.
You just set a lever — and step on
the accelerator.
In one swift and single surge, you
move off smoothly on signal, slide
in“one unbroken flow of growing
power into the settled easy stride of
full-pace highway travel.
Where others break stride to shift,
you swing smoothly by them.
Where some ‘‘automatic’’ transmis
sions call for a lift of the foot to let
gears change, you flow steadily,
smoothly forward in one unbroken
sweep.
Spp signs? You simply brake to a
stop — then go again with a treadle

High School Students
Enjoy Safety Program
One of the main features of last week's activities was
anascombly in which Miss Anita Blair was guest speaker.
She stressed the importance of safety and stated that two
persoas are killed every 25 minutes by jav-walking.
A movie was shown entitled,
“A Day With Fawn.” Fawn is
Miss Blair's seein-eye dog which
she has had for six years. She
put him through some drills to
demonstrate how he guided her.
Through the cooperation of the
Blair and Fawn have made se
veral appearances in the schools
of Athens.
The senior home economics
classes are studying budgeting
time, money, and energy, while
the ninth grade economic classes
are taking up the study of lunch
eons and suppers. A movie, “Safe
ty in the Home,” was tied in with
Miss Blair’s talk.
Senior shorthand pupils are ac
ting as secretaries for the teach
ers at Athens High School. They
and reviewing fractions. l
We wrote some nice papers in
Social Studies about the Church
and the Crusades, the Work of thel
Missionaries, Education in the
Dark Ages, Building of Cathe
drals, Pilgrimages to the Holy!
Land and What Europe Borrowed
from Another Civilization. We
also studied the picture history
from 500 to 1400. |
Charles Doster made a nice
drawing of a manor and all con
nected with it and Billy Seagraves
drew the Cathedral of Pisa, Italy,
and the celebrated Leaning Tower
of Pisa. The style of architec
ture with arches and domes is
called Romansque and the Cathe
dral of Cologne with its towers
and points and the Notre Dame in
Paris were built in the Gothic
style.
In science we have learned how
sounds are made and hoy sounds
travel.
In music several boys and girls
are takihg choir practice alongb
with our regular music lessons of
two-part songs. We have learned
to sing ‘“The Bee,” “The Hum
ming Bird,” “Bells,” and “Mental
Arithmetic.”
We had a good time playing
soft ball Monday under the di
rection of our coach. We hope we
will have some fair weather now
so that we can play everyday on
our new play ground.

pressure when the green shows,
Hills? You take them in stride, with
no thought of shifting on your part,
no jar or jerk as automatic mech
anisms shift gears for you.
In traffic you have no thought but
watching for openings, taking
prompt advantage of every one with
a surge of power from your treadle’s
foot pressure.
Happy as a bee in clover, you just
sit there, steer, and go fast or slow
at the touch of a toe!
Small wonder this is called the
greatest thing in cars since the self
starter. Small wonder that Buick,
wanting to offer it at the earliest
moment to still more people, has
made it available as optional
equipment on all SUPERS.
