We had such a good time having
puppet Shows Thursday. First,
the teachers gave it, and then we
made puppets and gave it all by
ourselves. .It was “The Three
Bears.”
We surely hope our mothers and
fathers are supporting the Bond
Drive so we can have a new High
School when we get older.
Miss Smith’s Class
We enjoyed having our mothers
come to see us. They liked our
program and thought that we did
good.
We have had perfect attendance
for two days. So many of us
have had measles and mumps that
our attendance has been poor. The
first day we all come back we
went for a walk at our play perxiod.
We stopped by the drug store and
got some ice cream. While we
were eating a lady took our pic
ture and she told us she would
send them to us. We know they
will be funny as we were all lick
ing our ice cream. :
We hope our mothers‘and fath
ers will vote for bonds on May
24th so that when we get big we
will have a pretty high school to
go to. : f

we will get to enjoy being in when
we get in High School, This nice
new building will help us secure
a better education. .
Our spelling papers have had
lots of words and sentences lately,
because we have been reviewing
many of the words we’ve had this
vear. We are proud of the progress
we've made in spelling and writ

Arithmetic seems much- easier
now that we have learned more
about it.
Our room has looked pretty

We are very sorry that several
from our room have measles. We
hope they will soon be well againt

we have to meet in the court. Of
course we can only meet on fair
days and then we have to stand.
We' think each school deserves an
auditorium where they can get to
gether for programs. If you vote
“yes” on May 24 it means you
want us to have one.
Miss Zuber’s Class
In arithmetic we have been
learning how to add and subtract
unlike fractions and we have lots
of fun doing this work.
May 24th is “Voting for Bonds
Day.” We hope all mothers and
fathers will vote for the bonds.
Our fifth grades will be the first
class to go into the new high
school building, and we are very
anxious to have a nice new build
ing to go to when we leave Chase
Street School. '
The two fifth grades are going
to play each other in sott ball.
The winners will play the winners
of the sixth grade for the cham
pionship of Chase Street School.
Next week we are going to the
bakery. We are going through to
see how they make cookies, cakes,
bread and other things.
Miss Clark’s Class
In English this week we had an
interesting “quiz” about “Why We
Need a New High School.” We
were surprised to learn so many
startling facts, and that unless we
get a new school we can’t continue
some of the special training we
have had at Chase Street School
(such as Glee Clubs, Boys’ Choir).
During the year we have worked
hard on spelling and each week |
we learn from twenty-five to
tifty words that are not in our
book. For the past two weeks the
following pupils made outstand
ing records: Alston Steiner, Jerry
Hill, Emmett Bondurant, Wade
Saye, Thomas Rogers, Bobby Les~
ter, Earnest Dadisman, Al Harper,
Patricia Rigsbee, Berthene Carey,
Beverly Parsons, Janelle Hicks,
Elizabeth Webb, Jean Alexander,
Nan Hanes and Barbara Clarke.
We have missed Jackie Burke
since he has been sick and hope
he will soon be back with us. The
class made him some attractive
get-well notes Wednesday.
Barbara Clarke and Demaris
‘Fowler conducted a science quiz
last Friday and awarded prizes to
the winners. Ronnie Spence pre
pared a quiz on music and Beverly
Parsons and Mary Montgomery
gave one that preceeding week.
They were lots of fun and made
us recall many facts we have
learned this year.
I Mrs. Montgomery surprised us
with iced-cold Coca-Colas follow

all want to.join in saying “Thank
You” for your thoughtfulness,

All grops were appropriately

while others wore typical Ameri

The following program was
presented:
Mrs. Kenner's Xindergarten—

Last week was enjoyable, but
my, what a busy one! On Thurs
day, we had our May Day. Our
class was divided into three
groups and we danced the Vir
ginia Reel. It was lots of fun. The
girls were lovely in their long,
pastel Colonial dresses, each girl
wearing a beautiful corsage of
roses, carnations, or sweet peas.
We were very happy to have so
many of our mothers and friends
present for this occasion.
At the conclusion of the May
Day festivities, Miss Woods pre
sented the Oconee Street Safety
Patrol boys with their Commis
sions, issued by Governor Hderman
E. Talmadge and George W. Wil
son, Director of Public Safety.
You should have heard our floor
talks and imaginary telephone
conversations on Bands during our
Language . period last week. We
feel sure we could have persuad
ed you to vote for Bonds. We
certainiy are interested in getting
our mothers, fathers, and friends
to vote for Bonds on May 24th.
We are trying io say five Bible
verses a day. A number have al
ready completed the verses for
‘Camp. We are looking forward to
‘these days at camp with Mrs.
Mackey and other great Bible
leaders.
