Miss Trippe's Fifth Grade
On Thursday, October 10,
students from Mrs. T. J. Blitch’s
room presented a show to our
room. It was about Christo
pher Columbus. They told in
teresting facts about him. We
heard about where Columbus
was born and where he died.
They told about the clipper
ship and the ones in the Civil
War. They also told us about
latitude and longitude.
On Friday, after lunch, we
elected our class officers. Linda
King was elected president.
Judy Herring was chosen Vice-
President, and Bobby McGee,
Secretary. Miss Trippe was our
chairman, and she counted the
votes. We nominated the presi
dent first, then the vice-presi
dent, and the secretary. We en
joyed having the election.

Last week, we had our six
weeks tests. We had eleven
people absent, too. We found
out what we made in conduct.
Only seven made an A.
The week before last, we got
out at one o’clock one day to
go to the Newton County Fair.
We learned to make num
bers charts on TV’s math les
son. We wrote papers about
what we had liked at the fair.
We watched English films. We
also had a program about bag
pipes in the auditorium. The
man had on kilts and he ex
plained them to us.

During the past six weeks,
the following people had birth
days: Karen Daniel, Mike Da
vis, Sandra Digby, Vicki Her
ring, and Sheila Morrell. Each
of these were given a birthday
tag to wear and a birthday
balloon.
We remembered Columbus
Day by writing a paper on
“WHY I THINK AMERICA
SHOULD BE NAMED CO
LUMBIA!” and by drawing a
scene of some phase of his life.
We are basing our lunch
room behavior on these four
things: not talking louder than
a whisper; not slamming the
door; not making a loud noise
with our chair; not scraping
our plates loudly.
We had twenty-four pupils
present every day of this six
weeks.

Miss Hardman’s Seventh Grade
Miss Paul i n e Hardman’s
Seventh Grade enjoyed slides
on Friday, October 11. Miss
Jordye Tanner showed us some
pictures taken on her trip this
past summer. Most interesting
comments were made of slides
from England, France, Switzer
land, Germany, Belgium, Hol
land, and Italy. We wish to
thank Miss Tanner for these
beautiful slides. This will help
us in our history this year as
we have studied many of the
places visited by her.
We are ready to begin a new
six weeks. Everybody needs to
come to school and work hard
er each day.
Reggie Henry is in Newton
Hospital. We have missed him
from school and hope he will
be back soon.
We hope all parents remem
ber to join the PTA for our
room. We would like for all
our parents to help us out by
paying fifty cents dues.
Cheerleaders chosen from
our room were: Brenda House,
Karen O’Kelley, and Karen
Rutledge.
Basketball players were:
Kathy Bennett, Linda Waldrop,
and Teresa Walden.

Mrs. Blitch’s Eighth Grade
All during time, there have
been punishments. Probably
the most talked about punish
ments are the punishments of
the Puritans. The Puritans
were very strict about their
laws so one can imagine what
punishments they had. I will
mention a few: the pillory, the
stocks, the ducking stool, and
the whipping post, which was
probably the most painful type
of all punishments.
Sometimes the people in the
pillory or the stock were stoned
to death. If you ever wish to
go back in time, I don’t think
you will want to go back to
the days in which the Puritans
lived.

Cancer killed 4,817 Georgia men,
women and children last year.
This is more than four times the
number killed in traffic accidents,
and more than 20 times the num
ber that died of TB. The Georgia
Division of the American Cancer
Society says the best protection
from death from cancer is an an
nual health checkup and know
ledge of the seven danger signala
of cancer. Half of all those who
develop cancer could be saved if
they saw their doctor in time.
