We wrote English Compositions on how to be good citizens last week. Some of the papers were very well done.
We have been having a word pronouncing contest in connection with our reading lessons. We are going back and reviewing our words that were new to us this year. The sixth grade has had a good year so far and we hope that the rest of the year will be as good as the first part.
SEVENTH GRADE
The members of our class certainly enjoyed playing their various roles in the operetta, Treasure Island. We take pride in the fact that our class furnished not only supporting roles but also two accompanists, Diane Swenson and Janet Harth and two soloists, Wayne Rasch and Ralph Marney.
Although the eighth grade defeated us in softball last week we are happy to congratulate them on the good game they played. We know they are happy to regain the trophy which our class won from them last fall.
The spring season is an inspiration to the art class. Every one tried his hand with water colors. A number of good bird pictures was completed.
Those who have birthdays this month are planning a little party Friday. They are Janet Harth, Jeanene Beal, and Ralph Marney.
In language our attention is centered on letter writing and sentence diagraming. We find our early experiences in sentence diagraming encouraging, partially due to the time and effort already spent on parts of speech and sentence structure.
The quotation for last week: "Happiness is the feeling we experience when we are too busy to be miserable."
