four o’clock and found swings,
slides, and a merry-go-round
to entertain them, when they
arrived.
Daddys prepared the fire for
a hamburger cookout whose ar
rangements had been made by
the mothers with Mrs. M. B
Shaw, Dianne’s mother, as
chairman. In a few minutes with
the wonderful cooperation of
every parent, the plates were
served with hot juicy hambur
gers. potato chips, cookies, and
drinks.
Miss Lane said, “I’ve been
teaching school over forty years
and at last have learned how to
have a picnic.” After the meal
served on long tables, children
returned to their play and pa
rents did a quick clean-up job.
Mrs. James E. Cason. Ricky’s
mother, presented to Miss Lane
from the children a lovely np
with a floral designed caina
base for her home in Jenkins
burg to which she will move
when school is over.
Miss Mae Hardman was also
a guest of the children for this
happy event.
On Thursday, cookies and
chips from the picnic were spe
cial refreshments at school
which seemed like another pic
nic.
As Friday was the last day on
which Kathy Geno would be
present, Miss Lane brought ice
cream mixed and ready to
freeze to school. Buck Smith
brought the ice for the freezer,
and with lots of ice and salt
plus elbow grease of every pu
pil AND teacher, the ice cream
was perfect. Miss Jordye Tan
ner and Miss Mae Hardman
joined these first graders for
the party where ice cream and
homemade dream nut cookies
were served by Miss Lane.
Impressions of the picnic as
given to your reporter: “I lik
ed everything on my plate.” “I
liked coca colas and every
thing.” “I liked the merry-go
round, swings, and potato
chips.” “I ate four hamburgers
and drank three cokes.” ”My
little sister was the littlest one
and Miss Lane was the oldest.”
“I liked the surprise we gave
Miss Lane. Ricky’s mother gave
it but it was from all of us.”
Miss Thompson’s
Second Grade
The boys and girls in Miss
Sue Thompson’s Second Grade
had looked forward to their
annual picnic for many days.
The children, parents, and one
grandmother met in front of
the school building on Saturday
afternoon, May 19, at four
o’clock to go in cars to t h e
Lion’s Club Pavilion in Coving
ton for their class picnic.
We had fun riding the merry
go-round. There were plenty of
swings and slides for all .The
delicious and bountiful meal
was spread on the tables about
five-thirty. We enjoyed our
food and the cold coca colas.
The teacher and children ap
preciate all the nice thing our
parents have done for us this
year. We were happy to have
the following parents join us on
our class picnic: Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Capps, Mr. and Mrs. Olin
Layson, Mrs. J. M. Lance, Mrs.
B. C. Crowell, Mrs. Mack
Crowe, Mrs. Ide Price. Mrs.
James Watts, Mrs. Leon Canup,
Mrs. O. R. Moore, Mrs. Billy
Lindsey. We brought a sample
of our picnic to the five in our
room who did not go.
Our classroom work in Se
cond Grade will soon be over.
Most of us have finished
“Friendly Village”, our basic
reader and have taken our
achievement tests. We have had
tests in arithmetic, spelling, and
Language. Our teacher is very

Miss Martha Ramsey's
Seventh Grade
A large blue and red bulletin
board labeled “Visit Art Show”
and decorated with creations
made of drinking straws, tele
phone wire, tissue paper, tooth
picks, wax crayons, and tem
pera paint caught the eyes of
everyone at the Pearl Taylor
Building from the first day.
The Actual Art Show, a
culmination of the year’s craft
activities, was held during the
May Day Celebration on Mon
day, May 14. Hostesses, Sherrie
Ann Thomason, Janice Wald
rop. Charlotte Daniel, Reba
Milligan, Brenda Cook. Glenda
Cook, and Janie Taylor wel
comed each guest. Hosts serv
ing simultaneously were: J. A
Herring, Morris Fincher, Jim
my Brock, Larry Carter, Jerry
Reid, and Thomas Willard. Pa
tricia Payne kept the register.
In their regular classroom, life
size replicas of each pupil were
seated in appropriate desks, and
they even wore their own
clothes to help identify them to
their visitors. Painting them
selves on cardboard with tem
pera and chalk had been a
special thrill and accomplish
ment.
The guides were Larry Scar
borough, Larry Denny, Her
schel Stokes, Ronald Davis,
Teddy Davis, and Brenda Fish
er. On entering the room,
guests viewed colored pictures
made of this class on different
occasions this year. One at
traction was the series of pic
tures depicting the events and
thrills of the Class Trip to LaKe
Spivey in April. The teaching
of the vowels had been enliven
ed through the pupils making
people whose eyes or noses or
mouths were vowel sounds.
Many scenes were created from
soap' suds, egg shells, instant
coffee, seeds, gravel, and maca
roni. Abstracts were colorfully
done with wax crayons and
tempera. Mosaic - like produc
tions made of tin cans were a
Boy Scout emblem, George
Washington’s hatchet, a fish,
and a kite. Blot prints adorned
the window facings and paint
by number bird prints were
beautiful. One table featured
Mother’s Day hats and illus
trated their tributes to Mother
which were:
When I was little, new and
pink,
My mother gave me milk to
drink.
My mother kept me from all
harm
She wrapped me up to keen
me warm.
When I was strong and could
sit up
She fed me from the drink
ing cup.
When I was bigger, which was
soon,
She gave me cereal from this
spoon.
When I could run and never
fall,
My mother gave me this big
ball.
When I fall and skin my knee,
She puts a bandage on for me.
At the table, in my place
She taught me how to say
the grace.
When I do my lessons right,
She says, “Oh, you’re bright”.
Near her I sit and look
At my Bible Story Book.
When I am tired and can’t walk
far,
She comes and gets me in the
car.
She tries to teach me every
rule
So I can do my best in schol.
She gave me healthy things to
eat
And goodies for a special
treat.
God bless all mothers, this we
pray. . .
For Mother, on her special
day!
Hats illustrated were: tra
veling, halloween, Christmas,
ciicus, bridge club, dishwash
ing, tailor, Kentucky derby,
Valentine, Charleston, Easter,
TV, Fourth of July, baseball,
gay nineties, bird watching,
and St. Patrick’s Day.
There were fish of all des
criptions made of papier mache,
molded clay objects, Easter pos
ters, finger painted pictures,
chalk reproductions of famous
Porterdale landmarks, plaster
prints of parts of their bodies,
i. e. hands or feet, woven belts
and wooden carvings.
About seven hundred and
fifty people shared the thrilling
accomplishments of these child
ren with them throughout the
remainder of the week.

While there are several dif
ferent species of Souther n
Pine, they have several mutual
properties, the most notable
being strength. All species are
recognized for their high
strength, with climate a prime
contributing factor.
Because of the long summer*
and abundant rainfall in the
producing region. Southern
Pine trees have a high propor
tion of “summerwood” — the
darker, denser element of the
annual growth ring. This den
sity, in turn, is a source of
strength.
