MRS. ELLISON’S 3rd GRADE
(by Sandra Cowart)
The third grade has had quite
an interesting week. In science
they have been studying moths,
butterflies and ants. One day
Iris Bazemore brought a walnut
moth to school and that very
morning she laid eggs. After two
weeks of excitedly waiting, the
eggs hatched. To keep the little
moths alive Iris put a wet paper
towel around the jar ‘to keep it
moist. One day they went to
visit in Mrs. Monts' room and to
see her collection of insects. Mrs.
Monts answered all their ques
tions concerning her insects and
• this helped to further their study.
The students also brought ants
to school and looked up informa
tion on them.
In health the third grade has
been studying good posture and
how to take good care of their
teeth.
This last week they have taken
advantage of checking books out
of the library.
MRS. KYLE D. SMITH
(by Faye Lane)
The senior class is fast ap
proaching their goal; namely,
graduation.
They will be standing their
final tests and practicing for
graduation the first of the week.
To the seniors who arranged
the bulletin board in my room, I
would like to say, “Thank you.”
The other classes are prepar
ing for their tests to be given the
last of the week. These tests
mean a lot to some people as it
means a unit or not.
The seniors will leave on the
class trip to Washington and New
York on Monday, June 8. They
are all' excited over going. Best
wishes, seniors.

keen interest as they changed
into frogs. They were also amus
ed by two baby turtles brought

Geometry Class
(By Calvin Smith)
The geometry class taught by
Mrs. Moore is completing its pre
scribed course of study. It is now
in the fifth book of geometry
which deals with regular polygons
and measurement of the circle.
This book also illustrates the re
lationship between regular poly
gons and circles. The class is learn
ing how to derive and to prove
the formulas related to circles that
students first use in elementary
mathematics.
The class feels sure that it will
be ready for its final test on May
27. Some will be glad its all over
for a while; but others who will
not be back next year will cast a
backward glance and sigh, for they
realize that it is time to prepare
for the future. Those who are leav
ing are sure that the knowledge
that comes from logical thinking
developed in geometry will be of
countless value to them in future
days. A hearty “Thank You” is
due Mrs. Moore for ther untiring
effort to prove to the class that
“GEOMETRY CAN BE FUN.”

Ist GRADE
We are so glad to see so many
parents out for Open House. It i
was encouraging to see the pupils
as each one carried Mother and
Daddy around showing them
their work. The units that were
worked out and on display were
the seasons, our pets, our homes
and stores. A pencil was given
to each child who brought their
parents.
It has been a good year and
now everyone is looking forward
to promotion.
Mrs. Ward wishes for each of
you a happy vacation, and ex
presses thanks for the wonderful
cooperation of the parents. I
know of no happier experience
than watching the children grow
and develop into men and women
of tomorrow, and having a wee
part in trying to help guide them
along the way.
3rd GRADE
We enjoyed getting our room
ready for Open House last week.
We made booklets on each of
these subjects: English, numbers
and writing.
Each one of us made a silhou
ette of ourselves and displayed
them for our parents to see.
We are working on our last
program of the term, which will
be presented at assembly on Fri
day. It is entitled “Jackie’s Self
ish Day." Those taking part are
I Jackie, James Jenkins, Tommy,
1 Richard Hammond, Beth, Rita
Cribbs, and Mrs. Mary Kitty
Davis.
sth GRADE
The school term is nearly over,
and our time is being spent re
viewing our year’s work and tak
ing our final tests, so any news
of interest about our class is very
scarce this week.
We did enjoy Open House
Thursday night. It was fun see
ing ourselves in the “movies,”
and we appreciate the many visit
, ors who came to see some of the
• Liked by Many • Cuswd by Some e Read byjhem All
work we have done this year in
our room, which we had on dis
play.
This will be our last news ar
ticle for this year. We hope
everyone will have a pleasant
summer, and are looking forward
to next September when we will
meet again as members of Miss
Morgan's sixth grade.
OFFICIAL NOTES
“Open House” was a complete
success last Thursday night. The
teachers felt that the climax to
the year’s program was the inter
est shown by the parents. We
had approximately 150 parents
to attend the occasion and see
the color movies. Supt. J. R. De-
Loach was able to be on hand
and made very favorable remarks
concerning the program.
The auditorium has been paint
ed this term and several other
items added to the building. I
would like to say this last week
of school that this has been a
very good term of school in re
gards to attendance, co-operation,
enjoyment and progress. The
faculty members will be at
school through Thursday, June
4.

Bryan ASC Begins
Measurement of
Allotment Crops
I The Bryan Agricultural Stabli
i zation and Conservation office has
l begun measurements of 1959 allot
ment crops, according to Louie L.
■ Reddick, ASC office manager.
1 Tobacco is being measured first,
. peanuts and cotton to be measured
• when all tobacco measurements are
i completed.
New photography and a new
method of measurements is being
used this year; therefore, past
, measurements are not to be re
lied upon (except Soil Bank, Con
servation Reserve areas which re
main official as previously mea
sured.)
Indications are that a large per
centage of farmers will be over
planted on tobacco this year. This
is due largely to the fact that
tobacco allotments are established
in acres and hundredths of acres.
However, in determining whether a
farm is considered within the allot
ment, if the acreage measured does
not exceed the allotment by more
than the larger of one-hundredth
acre or 2% of such allotment (not
to exceed nine-hundredths) the
acreage is considered within the
allotment.
ASC reporters who measure
allotment crops are also required
to obtain other important infor
mation from the farmers, such as
changes in owner and operator
ship. All the information furnished
the reporters on these annual visits
it vital to theestablishment of a
correct farm record at the ASC
office.

Eyes Right
A child’s first eye test, according
to many specialists, ought be done
at about age three, when differ
ences in right and left vision often
can be corrected quite easily. A
few years later, similar defects are
much harder to correct. A picture
chart can be used to test the vision
of youngsters who haven’t learned
to read.
Other hints on eye care are sug
gested by Dr. Franklin. M. Foote,
executive director of the National
Institute for Pre
vention of Blind
/A'\ C? ness. Dr. Foote
A )recommends that
y° u shade a baby’s
\ eyes from direct
) sunlight and if
.X" V they are watery or
" ; inflamed, have
your doctor take a
““ look.
Don’t try to “rub” a cinder out
of your eye,Dr. Foote cautions. If
blinking or washing with a little
lukewarm water doesn’t do it, let
your doc-for remove the particle be
fore it works into the cornea, or
“window” covering of the eye.
Eye specialists urge that you
protect your eyes against glare re
flected from shiny surfaces when
reading, and read only in good
light. Whether light comes from
behind your right or left shoulder
doesn’t really matter.
A lamp turned on when you
. watch television actually helps you
avoid strain. If you drive at night,
don’t wear tinted glasses to protect
against headlight glare; vision will
be dangerously reduced.
Headlights, sun, smoke, reading,
sewing, television — even emotional
upsets can irritate your eyes. Rub
bing makes them worse. According
to Dr. E. E. Grossman and Dr.
R. H. Lehman, of Marquette Uni
versity Medical School, new eye
drops called Visine are “superior
to all other commonly used drugs”
for easing strained eyes. A few
drops in each eye offer immediita
relief that lasts for several hout i,
according to theso eye specialists'.
Morning headache or eye pain,
or sudden reading difficulties may
be early signs of glaucoma, accord
ing to Dr. Foote, who urges early
aye check-up for these signs.
