Miss Ramsey’s
Sixth Gracie Reports
On Saturday, April 25. Miss
Martha Ramsey’s Sixth Grade
went to Indian Springs for our
class trip. We left Porterdale
at eight o’clock that morning,
and we were at the park by
nine-ten. When we arrived, the
rides were closed, but they
opened around nine-thirty. The
awimming pool was also closed
but we didn’t miss it too much
because we had fun skating,
bowling, boat-riding, visiting
the Mclntosh House and the
Museum.
We learned some interesting
facts about this state park
which is believed to be the
oldest state park in the United
States. In 1800, a cabin was
erected there by General Mc-
Intosh, the famous half-Indian,
who blazed his name through
history. At this time, there was
an extensive Indian encamp
ment on the high hill directly
west of the spring. To this
camp, the Creek Indians
brought their sick for
treatment, being aware of the
healing qualities of the water.
From its popularity with the
redmen was derived the name
“Indian Springs”. This old
spring, today, is one the out
standing mineral spots in the
United States and its curative
powers have been enjoyed by
people from all parts of the
world.
We ate a delicious dinner con
sisting of chicken, potato chips,
sandwiches, hamburgers, pic
kle, deviled eggs, sweets, and
a variety of drinks. This din
ner was prepared by our
mothers.
The mothers and children
who were able to come and

We went skating after our

fun.
We boarded the bus for home
and stopped over enroute at the
F. F. A. Camp near Jackson,
Georgia. We wanted to see in
side the cabins but all of them
were locked.
We arrived back in Porter
dale at four o’clock after a very
happy trip.

On Friday, April 24, the
eighth grade classes at Porter
dale Junior High School board
ed Mr. Bill Austin’s bus for
the annual visit to Newton
County High School. We arriv
ed at Newton and went straight
to chapel where we enjoyed
the songs led by Mr. George
Hutchinson, principal of E. L.
Ficquett School.
In the gymnasium, we ob
served the activities of the psy
sical education groups. In the
auditorium, we were shown a
film on high school education
entitled “High School: Your |
Challenge”.
The school cafeteria was an
interesting place as we were
hungry, and there we had a
delicious lunch.
Again in the auditorium. Mr.!
Sharp explained the courses of;
study which would be availa- |
ble to us next year.
Tired we were, but very ex
cited as we piled into Mr. Aus-1
tin’s bus to return to Porter- I
dale. All of us are eagerly a- |
waiting this new school and the
many new friends whom we i'
hope to make.

Sixth Grade Reports
We have enjoyed having the
book “Wilderness Journey” by i
William O’Steele read to us '
during our quiet hour after I
lunch. The main character wa» 1
a boy our own age named Flan
Taylor. He learned that size -
did not matter; you could make
a few mistakes and still win, 1
if you really did your best.
In arithmetic, we are round
ing off decimals to the nearest .
tenth and hundred. Decimals
are tricky! Today we learned .
to turn a fraction into a deci
mal.
We have just finished read
ing the “Swallow of San Juan
Capistrano” Carrolle Hawk
brought Pat Boone’s record,
“When the Swallows Come
Back to Capistrano”, and we
enjoyed hearing it played dur
ing our quiet time. When Tom
my Bowden joins his parents
in California in June, he will
be just eighty miles from the
mission, and he plans to visit
there so he can write some of
us about it.
Carrolle Hawk made a porta
ble crystal set radio in a tiny
plastic case. One day he brought
it to school, and we took turns
using the earphones. It was like
hearing a little concert by your
self. Carrolle always make A
in science. Today, we are out
lining the Universe Unit and
learning the names of the
planets.
Social studies is interesting
for all of us. We are studying
the Unit on Russia and Com
paring her government with
ours. We are thankful that we
live in a democracy.
In English we are making
booklets on the parts of speech.
Those of us who made A on the
test in prepositional phrases axe
proud to-include our papers in
our booklets.
Saturday is our big day. We
are going to Callaway Gardens
for our class trip and picnic.
Barbara Allen and Gary
Duckett are glad to be back in
school after being sick for sev
eral days.

Miss Ramsey's
Sixth Grade
Friday, April 24, was Teacher
Appreciation Day, and the chil
dren in Miss Ramsey’s Sixth
Grade really had lots of fun.
On Thursday, pupils arranged
the bulletin board which car
ried out the theme of “Teacher
Appreciation Day”. Two por
traits painted by pupils in our
class were placed on the board
surrounded by poems written
to honor the day.
Pupils visited their former
teachers and expressed their ap
preciation to them for what
they had done in the past years.
All of these teachers were so
glad to hear these messages
from former pupils whom they
have watched through the
years.
We are printing for you some
of the poems which we wrote.

Miss Ramsey is kind.
Miss Ramsey is sweet:
Miss Ramsey is as good
As an ice cream treat.

Teachers
Some teachers are big and
strong.
Others are thin and tall;
But out of them all—
I have a teacher who went to
school
To teach us the Golden Rule.
My teacher is sweet and kind
’Cause she's a teacher of mine.
I like her very well.
She’s just really swell.
Mv teeacher loves arithmetic
All because she’s so strict.
I bet you’d never guess her [
name
Because her picture’s in a ■
frame.
Her name starts with an R,
She drives a green and white
car.
If you knew her name
You’d take it down in fame—
But here it is-—Ramsey
Isn’t it lust gym dandy?
Sherrill Crowell
My Teacher
Miss Ramsey is our teacher
In the sixth grade,
Some may forget her
nt COVINGTON NEWS
I But my memory will never
fade.
She helped us make posters
And other things,
But she may not ride on the!
roller coaster
When we go to Indian Springs.;
i When we don’t understand
I arithmetic
We mav feel a little sick;
। But Miss Ramsey will try to
help us
Instead of making a big fuss.
I
Then we must study our books. !
It doesn’t matter about our j
looks.
Then Miss Ramsey will give is i
a grade
And our lessons will be made.
