and more. Wednesday we had
hamburgers, french fried potatoes
which were very good. If you
don’t know how to make a crayon
resist, all you have to do is make
a scribble, if you know how to
make one. Then you brush it with
tempera paint.
Thursday we wrote some words
in alphabetical order on the black
board. The teacher is very sweet
and we like her very much. We
are reading about the Pilgrams.
Thursday for lunch we had green
beans, beets, rolls and cookies.

FOURTH GRADE
Each week we, like many
others, look forward to reading
together “My Weekly Reader.”
This paper contains current news
information, science stories, a let
ter from Captain Clem telling of
places he visits, also a page of
word and dictionary skills with
puzzles, Good Citizen Quiz and
a variety of other features suita
ble, interesting, and educational
for boys and girls our age.
Since September, we have
learned and discussed many facts.
We would like to share part of a
questionnaire we made about
some of these. If is called “Do
You Know.” 1. That today, there
are over 65,000 ways of making
things from glass and that last
year 8 million tons of glass was
made in the United States.
2. That a new electron micro
scope can show things 20 times
larger than they are.
3. That a new seaplane tanker
can refuel four jets in just five
minutes — all at the same time.
4. That the speed of migrating
birds is being checked with air
planes; swifts fly 70 to 100 miles
an hour.
5. That the longest bridge in
the world has been built in
Louisiana and is 24 miles across
Lake Pontchatrain.
6. That the is the first
helicopter to fly across the U. S.
without stopping; it flew' from
San Diego to Washington, D. C.
7. That the Bronx Zoo in New
York has a new kind of animal
called olingo from Panama.
8. That a new animal shelter
will be built at New York’s Idle
wild Airport; about 100,000 ani
mals are shipped through this
airport every year.
9. That the oldest stars are said
to be 5 or 6 billion years old.
FOURTH GRADE
Mrs. Rorke's Section
We certainly did enjoy our
Halloween Party given by some
of our mothers. We had fun bob
bing for apples. The cookies and
orange drink carried out the Hal
loween tradition.
This is conference week. Our
parents come to talk to our teach
er and see some work we have
been doing. This is such a pleas
ant way to know each other.
Our teacher has taught some
of our older brothers and sisters
so we knew each other before
this year.
We are enjoying reading books
from our library also some that
are parallel reading with Singing
Wheels.
Many of us are improving in
spelling. We study the vowels and
how to divide words in syllables.
That is fun. When we put our
words in alphabetical order we
have to be careful when we have
more than one word starting with
the same letter.
j We seem to be able to use our
multiplication combinations by 2,
13, 4,5, without too much trouble,
j We are doing these better than we
idid the addition and subtraction
combinations.
Our health posters are very ‘
attractive. We tried to do a real
good job on these. For some of
us this was a new experience.
We are trying to follow the
Health Rules.
We are looking forward to our
new building for we will have a
drinking fount and lavatory with
plenty of soap and towels in our
room.
Mrs. Allen's
FOURTH GRADE
We have 35 pupils in our room
this year. We have 15 boys and
20 girls. A few days ago we had
a new pupil that came from South
Carolina. Her name is Nancy
Stroud and we are so proud to
have her in our room.
Last Wednesday was Halloween
and we had a very nice party.
Our Halloween committee moth
ers were Mrs. Autry, Mrs. Kirk
land, Mrs. Hester, Mrs. Malcolm,
Mrs. Aaron, Mrs. Kind, Mrs. Jor
dan Callaway and Mrs. Lamar
Callaway. We played a game call
ed The Witches Broom and Gary
Mashburn won the prize. It was
lots of fun.
We were all pleased last week
when our school pictures came.
We were busy for several days
exchanging them with our friends.
In geography we are studying
about the Pilgrams. We have
drawn many Thanksgiving pic
tures to put up in the room. Some
of us drew pictures of the May
flower and others of the first
Thanksgiving.
Mrs. Allen has been busy hav
ing conferences with our mothers.
We like for our mothers to come
see our room and see the work
we have done.
We have had lots of pretty
flowers this week. Those who
brought flowers were Mary Jane,
Cathy. Cynthia, Carol and Debra.
Others of us have brought bugs,
snakes, lizards, grasshoppers and
other things for our science table.
We have lots of pretty colored
leaves.
7-3 NEWS
By Sally King, Mikie Savage
After Halloween — can Thanks
giving be far behind? We’re look
ing forward to our holidays. We
are thankful that one of our
; classmates, John Jordan, who was
hurt on his motor scooter is able
to be back to school. Another one
of our group, Steve Allen, fell
from a truck on Saturday night
' but was not seriously hurt and
I was able to be back in school
by Tuesday. We hope we can soon
have perfect attendance for a
week at least.
It’s time for 6 week’s tests a
gain. Some of us are thankful
that we won’t get our reports
cards until after the holidays.
We are at last getting accus
tomed to changing classes and
having different teachers and we
like it, except when all the teach
ers decide at the same time to
double up on homework.

Line
By Mrs. H. D. Lancaster
Well, when old man winter
finally took a notion to swoop
down upon, us, he did it with a
suddenness that sent the chill
down our spines, however this
nippy weather imparts a vim and
a vitality to our beings that the
lanquidness of a hot summer day
could never do. Everything and
every season has its bad points
though, and one of the bad points
of winter’s first approach is that
all tender vegetation is black
ened and killed. The green to
matoes, peppers, peas and butter
beans in our garden had to be
gathered. Then, also, there were
all the beautiful flowers to con
sider. One can always take the
potted plants in and place them
on stands in the sun-room, but
the out-door ones cannot all be
picked. Nevertheless the most
beautiful were gathered and plac
ed in water in containers here
and there. Some consider the
lowly marigold a common place
flower, but this year we grew
some of the largest and most
beautiful ones ever. Some looked
like big balls of gold and mea
sured nearly five inches in diam
eter. They were produced in
three shades of pale yellow to
deep gold. ,
Speaking of the icy fingers of :
winter that probe into our homes, ■
makes us rejoice that the Di
vine weather-maker gave the cot
ton pickers a break this fall.
They have had a good time for
gathering it, and we suppose the
most of it is picked out by now.
Then bringing it closer to home,
the fine weather proved a bless
ing to your unworthy servant,
the big paint job I assigned to
myself is finished. After having
finished painting the house out
side, I did four rooms inside and
then painted the well and laun
dry house — (an out-building)
and am I glad it is all over! I
love to paint; have been doing it
the greater portion of my life,
but what I do not like is being
perched atop a high ladder half
scared to death painting the
, high places and gables of the
building.
. Sometimes I envy the men,
> they can walk about on high scaf
, folds and stand without holding
[ while high off the ground on an
extention ladder, or crawl over
the tops of high buildings as
sure-footed as a mountain goat
on a lofty rocky peak— but me!
I’m just plain scared when I

Tri-Hi-Y Dance
Committee Is
Named for Year
By BETTY ANNE MASTEN
Reporter
The Sr. Tri-Hi-Y met for their
regular meeting at 12:00 noon
Wednesday, October 31. The
meeting was called to order by
Miss Sandra Bracewell, presi
dent. The club secretary, Miss
Quntiss Wells, read the minutes
and called the roll.
An inspiring devotional by Miss
Ellen Weaver, opened the pro
gram. The devotional was the
first of a series to be enjoyed by
the club on th. explanation of
the club creed.
Those who enjoyed the very
brilliant Homecoming game last
Friday night, surely noticed the
decorated goal posts and cars.
Things of this nature aid in a
game’s success. Some of the Tri-
Hi-Y members decorated them
for the fans as one of their
monthly service projects.
One of the most important
topics discussed at the meeting
was the appointing of a dance
committee to take charge and
plan all of the club’s dances for
this year. The club will probably
I have three dances during this
