Nathan Seaman are the project
leaders. We feed and w ater the
calf. We clean the pen. We take
good care of the calf because we
want it to grow fast. We will sell
it before school is out.
Grades Have 4H Project
The fourth, fifth, and sixth
grades have a 4H art club. There
are twenty-two children in the club.
We have our meetings, on , Friday
afternoons.
We had a party on the Wednes
day before Christmas. The girls on
the food committee popped corp
for-the party.
Each club member is required
to draw three pictures. Two of
the best ones can be exhibited at
the Marion County F air in Stayton
this spring. We are going to work
hard to try to win some prizes.
Book Care Important
Boys and girls, you like to read
books,* Books cost money, so you
must take care of them.
When you have finished reading
a book you should put it back
where it belongs. Some boy's- and
girls mark iri the books, then other
boys and girls see th at mark in the
book. ‘
Let us learn to take better care
of our books.
Eighth Grade Sections
Join for Party
On Wednesday, December 23, all
the boys and girls in the eighth
grade and their teacher, Mrs. Hazel

The girls helped straighten up the
room before leaving: Then every
one returned to the dormitory sáfé

Be Safe
We must learn how to walk
across the streets anywhere we go.
When we go to town, we watch the
street lights. When the light is
red, we do not cross the street.
When we walk across the street
we always walk on the left side of
the road.

See Educational Movies
We went to see two educational
movies. One was M ir a c le o f th e
M esa. It was about the Hopi In
dians that live in Arizona. It showed
how the ground was dry and how
water was needed. The Hopi In
dians danced and sang and it began
to rain. The rain made the corn
grow. The corn was used to make
corn bread.
Telephoning Saves Time
Mrs. Sander’s class has been
studying about telephones. A tele
phone is one of the most useful in
ventions in modern times. A tele
phone call takes less time and less5
labor than any other form of com
munication. The person you want
to c o m m u n ic a te with can be
reached by phone quicker than by
mail. You get a quicker answer
too.
