Sand For Rooting Plants
For the amateur gardner, a
coarse grade of sand is one of
the most satisfactory medias
for most ornamental plants,
according to Gerald Smith, Ex
tension horticulturist. Build
ers sand or construction sand
is ideal since it is coarse and
clean. Fine sand or soil should
be avoided because it provides
poor aeration, he says.

Mrs. Barker’s
First Grade
We want to thank Mrs.
Fred Taylor, Mrs. Benny
Knight, Mrs. Clyde Jordan,
Mrs. William Womac. Mrs.
Vester Maughan, Mrs. Charlie
Oglesby for the lovely Christ
mas party.
The refreshments were de
licious and it was fun to open
our gifts. We were glad to
have Mrs. Herbert Davenport
and little Jim Bohannon with
us.
We have so many nice new
things to make our number
work more interesting. Among
them are the following: day
by day calendar, magnetic
chalk board with numbers,
place value sticks, dominoes,
counting discs and counting
blocks.
We have celebrated several
birthdays in January. These
had birthdays on the follow
ing dates: Johnny Allen, Jan

Mrs. Allen’s Grade
The happy faces that you
see on the pupils and teachers
of Palmer Stone School are due
to the fact that mid-term tests
are over and all the papers
have been graded and record
ed. The second half of the
school year has already begun
with much interest and de
termination to make 1961 prof
itable and meaningful.
We have enjoyed many phas
es of our school life since the
beginning of school in Sep
tember, but one special activi
ty to which we look forward
every two weeks is our chapel
program given by one of the
grades. Mrs. Allen’s seventh
grade had charge of the pro
gram this Wednesday, present
ing “The Red Letter Days of
January”. These red letter days
were January I—New Year’s
Day; January I—birthdayl—birthday of
Paul Revere; January 17—
birthday of Franklin; January
19, birthday of Robert E. Lee;
January 30 —birthday of Roose
velt and January 20 —Inaugu-
ration Day.
The PTA at Palmer Stone
has become quite active, espe
cially physically. They are
challenging their sons and
daughters in a basketball game
Tuesday night and everyone
is anxiously awaiting the out
come of the event.
Os course our school activity
is not all fun and play. We do
work some, too. If you will
continue to read this article
I’m sure you will agree that
we include plenty of work in
: our busy seventh grade sche
j dule. At the present time our
English work consists of a stu
dy of pronouns and we have
become quite aware that “It
is I”, rather that “It is me”. In
our science work we have en
joyed making scale diagrams
of the planets and pictoral star
groups of some of the major
constellations. We are now
planning to learn something of
magnetism and electricity.
Hoping to become better read
ers we are attempting to in
crease our vocabulary and read
ing speed in addition to our
own state has been most help
ful to us and right now we are
learning some important facts
concerning soil.
As you see, we do have a
busy school day with plenty of
work but we realize that it is
a necessary part of our present
and future education.
