Progress of the grades
The Rossville Grade school has started a Pep Club for boys and girls of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Mrs. Catt is our sponsor. We have elected officers, who are: Nida Mogus, President; Charlotte Decker, Vice-President; Jane Zickefoose, Secretary; Sharon Viergever, Treasurer, and a reporter from each room – Josephine Rosencutter from the eighth, Arleeta Sage from the seventh, and Judy Huston from the sixth grade.
We have 32 members and four cheerleaders who are Janet Harth, Sharon Reser, Carol Rafferty, and Diane Swenson. The members are: Nida Mogus, Jane Zickefoose, Norma Klingenberg, Florence Felps, Arleeta Sage, Charlotte Decker, Judy Huston, Marie Stiles, Mary Besta, Sharon Viergever, Janet Hause, Wanda Harmon, Lynda Allen, Dorothy Jacobon, Sally Nadeau, Joleen Parr, Katherine Porter, Carol Tuller, Linda Kelsey, Judy Fauerbach, Charlene Perry, Mary Smith, Janet Kurtz, Josephine Rosencutter, Laura Stiles, Sharon Davis, Zora Wade, Joyce Swenson, Joan Dolezilek, Buddy Mogus, Larry Kurtz, John Vanderblomen, and James Wamego.
We have ordered R’s and hats. The hats are going to be two colors. Our cheerleaders have blue corduroy farmerettes and gold cotton baby doll blouses with white collard. Their gold R’s, for Rossville, will go on the bib of the farmerette. Thank you, Mrs. Catt, for helping us.

We have a make-believe fireplace, with stockings hanging by it. We are painting Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer, and we hope that we will all hear His merry bells on Santa’s sleigh coming from far and near.
We have Santa Claus wearing a bright suit and each foot is warm in a big black boot. We really have a lot to do, but we wish a very Merry Christmas to you.

NEWS FROM THE 28 THIRDS
Yes, we’ve added another to our class and we’re just real happy to have done so. He is Billy Streit from St. Marys.
The children came back to school from the Thanksgiving vacation with many exciting events to share. We decided there were an abundance of things for which to be thankful.
Now, we’re in the midst of planning the coming Christmas events. We are looking forward to a Christmas party and program and of course always the unexpected excitement. If you should come in to visit our class for awhile, you would see houses with snow-capped roofs and trees laden with snow. Using tempra paint and black crayon, the children very effectively made lovely winter pictures.
It has been a pleasure to watch the children improve in the last six weeks. Most of them are finding cursive writing quite a pleasure and enjoy learning this “new” style.
One of the biggest thrills, and there are many, of the school day is to hear the wonderful prayers of the children at the beginning of each day.
It was a thrill to hear from the White House and the children wanted to share it with you-
December 1, 1955. On October 2, we learned about the President’s birthday which was on October 14.
Then Dwight brought some cards. We chose the one that we wanted to send to the President. It had a golf ball on it. And it said, “Hope this suits you to a tee.” Then we sent the card October 12.
About two weeks later, we received a thank-you from the White House. It was a very nice note.
The card from the White House read: The President and Mrs. Eisenhower are deeply grateful for your kind remembrance of them on his birthday. Your good wishes, coming at this time, have been very heartening to them.
FOURTH GRADE
We are busy decorating our room for Christmas. Plans have been made for each of us to make a book of “Christmas Ideas”. We plan to put choice poems, stories, pictures, and recipes in our books.
Those of our class who celebrate birthdays in December are Jane McCollough, Daniel Gee, Kenneth Coleman, Ronald Avers, and Joe Mitchell. Jane and Daniel treated us with candy bars, which were enjoyed greatly.
Those who made perfect grades in spelling all through the six-week’s period were James Fauerbach, Daniel Gee, Myrna Perry, and Linda Simecka. Those who received perfect scores on the six week’s test were Stephen Becker, Herman Bringle, James Fauerbach, Daniel Gee, Rose Mary Jacobson, Douglas Kelsey, Myrna Perry, Lillian Reser, Patrick Royal, Linda Simecka, and Marilyn Simpson.
