Grade School activities In Miss Hall’s class room, the students have been making clothes for their doll and they have all been looking after it. Last week they had a birthday party for the doll. Since the weather has been so cold and it is quiet hard for the birds to get food, they have been feeding the birds on a table they have built outside their classroom window. Nearlyt-wenty five birds come there to eat everyday. Five new pupils have entered Miss Hall’s class. They are helping national defense by saving all the paper they can. They have also started a program of killing all rats, so the class can get some baby chicks to care for. Miss Chamber’s class have been studying about rubber, sugar, oil, and paper and how our supply of each is affected since the war started. They lost their mother rabbit so now they have to care and feed the rabbits with a teaspoon and an eye dropper Catholic Daughters Entertain CYO "Why don’t we do this more often,” was what most of the CYO members said after attending the roller skating party which was sponsored by the Catholic Daughters of America in Salem Friday, February 27. After attending church service, the boys got into the truck which was waiting, and the girls rode in the bus. They left the church at seven-thirty and skated until ten o’clock. The skaters enjoyed the music of "Rose O’Day,” "Tis Autumn,” and "Blues in the Night” to skate and keep time with. You can imagine how much enjoyment was had with the lights dimmed low and every body skating "couples only.” The exhibition put on by the members of the rink was pleasing to see. The evening of skating closed with everybody skating the grand march.
